straido 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) Hello I'm new to classic and I was wondering, with all the changes in dyes, being able to go +12 on a single stat and STR not affecting skill crit chance, what would be the optimal selection of dyes for gladiator pve and pvp wise. I assumed that one could go +12str-15dex for pve but wouldn't that be painful? You would get the p.atk but lose a ton of acc, crit chance, and attk. speed. From what I've read for pvp the suggested way to go was +12con-15dex. Either way could someone who has experience in classic, has tested things out and see how they work provide some suggestions and alternatives? Thank you in advance. Edit: I forgot to say that I do not have recharge available, so my reservations regarding reducing dex that much are mana related, provided that there are no herbs either so no skill spamming.

You would get the p.atk but lose a ton of acc, crit chance, and attk. speed. For aoe and pvp it doesnt matter much, since skills do not depend on accuracy, critical rate. You will care tho about your atack speed, since being the first one to stun does matter. For single mob killing, +str is better dps than +dex . You will kill faster with +12str-15dex than without dyes 6 hours ago, straido said: From what I've read for pvp the suggested way to go was +12con-15dex. Yes. You will be fine for both pvp and aoe with that. Also you can go [+8 con +4 str -15 dex] or [+4con +8str -15 dex], balancing dps/tankiness with your needs, thats how i understand it Edited March 16, 2017 by Cyane Quote Share this post Link to post

Wit dyes are pretty good in gladiator vs mages. You always talk about 1v1 which is not lineage2.

Edit: I forgot to say that I do not have recharge available, so my reservations regarding reducing dex that much are mana related, provided that there are no herbs either so no skill spamming. the downside of going for -15 dex is that you'll suffer until lv72, when you get the 2nd lv of duelist spirit, so with that you can manage to balance the loss in atk speed. critical chance and accuracy will still be crappy, but at least u always have the toggle for accuracy that you can use if you're really missing too much( althou you would want to avoid mobs with evasion passives to begin with ). for solo pve, you may consider just going for -con instead of -dex starting from lv40, otherwise you'll be hitting like a potato until you reach higher levels. as for STR/CON stacking, let's see: u get around 450-500 more damage on skills with +12 STR, so that build works in every situation, be it pve or pvp. with +CON builds you'll be more tanky, wich is always helpful when fighting mages, but you'll also deal less damage compared to +STR builds. needless to say that the loss in damage will also have negative effects on your mana pool, since you'll need more mp to kill people, unless you get lucky with criticals. random example: gladiator skills mp usage range from 87 to 102mp more or less after lv70, so if you have around 1300mp without bless the soul, mana will indeed go off quickly. even further without clarity. usually it takes 3-4 skills to kill robes/archers, however that number will surely go up depending on the other classes you're fighting. in group/mass pvp, when you've already killed 2-3 people and there's no rechargers around, you're basicly done with your work. +CON may be better suited for solo pvp, or group pvp if you're rushing the enemy together with other tanks in first line. for mass pvp, forget it. no matter what dyes you have, anything that goes under 900 range and gets focused by enemy fire, usually dies after 4-5 seconds. i still prefer +STR anyway, since your main role when playing gladi is to actually kill people, not tank them( otherwise you may want to consider playing a tank instead ). it is a bit more risky than +CON builds, as you have a lower/default hp pool, but you can always take healers with you. hybrid builds may work as well. i said "may" because they tend to be very situational and not always reliable, wich is also why i'm not really a fan of mixing different stuff together, unless i consider it worthy. i prefer just maxing one stat and benefit from it in any situation, but that's just me. in the end, it's all up to your preferences. if you have a good party to back you up( and that's really all that matters in classic ), you can enjoy the game regardless of dyes setup anyway. [edit] on a side note: if you wanted to compare STR gladi vs CON gladi by any chance, forget it. i say this not to sound like an ass, but simply because in gladi vs gladi matches all that matters are 3 things: luck with stuns, luck with criticals, and luck with evading skills. no more, no less. there's no amount of player skills involved that will save you from luck going bad, so just consider it as playing with a slot machine, 'cause that's what really is Edited March 16, 2017 by Arcanum Quote Share this post Link to post

If u farm in aoe pt +pvp from time to time go +12 str -15 dex (if u dont pvp then keep -con) After 70+ you can consider hybrid +con +str- dex.

straido 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) In the end, I think I will go for +str-con as for now. Only because I'm too low level and not interested in pvping, rather leveling for now and pvping later. I think I did mention that I do have a pp (can throw an emergency heal if required) and I plan to go for PL set for now before B grade. So perhaps not +12 - 15 but +8 -10 would be fine if I hunt mobs that aren't spellcasters either. Thank you all for the info. Edited March 17, 2017 by straido Quote Share this post Link to post
