Party tanking for fighters - Updated

[CyborGamer]

you do know that axes have the least acc., then 2hands, then 1hands. If you go pure STR for 2handaxe, or sword, you will need to toss a few points into dex. And i really dont see the point of adding to STR at all. You get 1.2 extra dmg for each free stat you put in. there are more useful ones to dump them into like END, or SPR, or DEX if you are 2hands.135 x 1.2 = 162. you will only get an extra 162dmg if you go pure str. and thats only if you hit. OR survive long enough to kill them -_-;;

IMO, dumping points into dex would more or less be a waste. As seen in game, there is already a LOT of scrolls, and there is accuracy and evasion increasing tiers (scrolls). Bearing that in mind, there is no scrolls for power. None at all. I do agree dumping some on spr is a nice idea though, since there isn't anything that adds extra crits.

END is great, lots of HP and def, but I think some of its features will be wasted as a 2-h sword or axe fighter. Cos end boosts shield block%, but without a shield, that feature is useless. If that is the case, wouldn't you want your points to have a complete effect over the character you're making?

Besides, as said before, there are so many scrolls to increase your stats, but none increases power.

Of course I am speaking without much experience but still, these are my opinion and facts I've concluded.

I agree with this above poster dex wise, i hit pretty consistently and i haven't even touched dex. There are scrolls too.
2handed will need end though in the end, to make up for the lack of defense. They'll need it even MORE once they get vitality. (Dramatically increases str at the cost of defense.)
Spr works great with fighters too, their COMPLETELY horrible magic def is something that needs to be compensated for not only for just the extra critical power. If you really don't think you need end, i would recommend this.


On the other hand in the scroll making descriptions there is "apparently" a scroll that does increase power. This scroll recipie is actually for accuracy increase, but for all we know, it could just be another bug preventing us from accessing these power scrolls.

Then again, power scrolls i've never seen dropped by mobs...


Normally i would reply to a thread like this ages ago but i'm lazy... Good guide you got here..

Strength potions or whatever they're called add crit and str which increases attack power. Hopefully all recipes will be available in cb2, so potion makers can start producing them. One of the scrolls also increases crit, think its the concentration scroll.

@rokaraged - while its true that vitality lowers defense you can use a scroll to compensate for the lost defense.

Agree with what you both said about dex, not much point in adding to it since fighters seems to have fairly decent accuracy without scrolls, even when using 2h.

[Revy]

Those "Power Scroll"s have a buggy translation. They're the ones increasing your aim, actually. ^^

Yea, there are STR and DEX potions, but recipes weren't accessible.

However, with a 2h axe, i would think about adding DEX. Axes have even less accuracy than 2h swords, and evasion comes in handly, maybe it's even better than the def from end, since you can evade magic attacks too (can you? O.o). Btw the HP from END is +5hp/point, which isn't too good.

as to the dex reply...honestly..i rarely missed...the only times i missed was going up agianst elite monsters and red monsters...and thats without the aim scroll

btw, there is a scroll that increases your crit by 1%? or was it 2%...it was one of them xDD lol

btw vitality...will be another boss-battle skill mainly...

level 1 vitality acquired at level 20 from Item Merchant Nina (? - aka fame merchant) for 400 fame.
Raises attack by 62 and decreases def by 30
Lasts for 1minute and cooldown is 3 minutes without any empowerments

Thanks for the insight, didn't think attack power-ups would be thrown into the potion section. >.> Opens a new light for potion recipes. XD

@rokaraged - while its true that vitality lowers defense you can use a scroll to compensate for the lost defense.

Have you even seen how much def vitality takes off? Even at level one the defense is very signifcantly more than most scrolls adds on. If you think a def scrol will compensate BOTH for no end AND vitality, you won't last long unless you got some greatly refined armor

Images added, not sure if I'll be able to update the guide with my experience from later skills as I've hit the 10000 character limit. Big thanks to Fireriot for providing the images.

I've just went through some fighter skill lists, and I saw both Snearing Kick and Mock has a second level.

I can see that Mock increases in how many enemies they can attract, but what in the world does Snearing kick increase? The description, the only thing that was different was the massive SP cost, but the distance and effect seems to be the same.

Could any high lvled explain this?

[rokaraged]

I haven't gotten it yet but if i'm correct it increases the power of the taunt.. This works great if your trying to pull a boss monster off another friend that is a bit stubborn.

Taunts don't always work especially if your trying to pull off monsters off a friend who himself has alot of agro.
