AP build

Same as Fighter: STR primary, DEX only to weapon requirement (3/2 to Lv36, 4/1 to Lv57, pure STR after ~60 base DEX).

  1. Lv1-30: as Warrior (~135 STR / 27 DEX at Lv30).
  2. Lv31-36: 3 STR / 2 DEX.
  3. Lv37-57: 4 STR / 1 DEX (~237 STR / 60 DEX).
  4. Lv58-70: all STR (~302 STR / 60 DEX).
  5. Lv70-100 (our estimate): DEX to weapon req, rest STR.
  6. Pitfall: ACC from gear/potions is not DEX and does not satisfy weapon requirements.

SP build

1st job (levels 10–29)

  1. Same as Warrior 1st-job plan: Power Strike 20, Slash Blast 20, Precise Strikes 15, Improved HP Recovery 3, Max HP Increase 3 by Lv30; skip Iron Body.

2nd job (level 30+)

  1. Lv30: Rush 1
  2. Lv31-38: Blunt (or Sword) Mastery to 20, Booster 1, Threaten 1, Final Attack 2
  3. Lv39-48: Final Attack to 30
  4. Lv48-57: Threaten to 30
  5. Lv58-64: Booster to 20
  6. Lv64-70: Rush to 20; spare point into the other Mastery
  7. Lv71-100 (our estimate): skills effectively maxed; nothing left to put SP into until 3rd job.
  8. Options: Threaten earlier for mob pulling; Booster 10 or Rush 10 earlier. Skip sword skills on a blunt build (and vice versa).
  9. Classic changes: Final Attack 25% proc; Rush added to 2nd job (6 targets).
