Dual Wield 101 Guide
Differences Between Melee Classes together with Ranged Classes
By design, melee classes are much much harder to play than ranged classes.
If yous all the same desire to instruct melee, therefore hold off the following:
- You are heavily gear dependant. You volition involve to grind diverse (legendary) gear
- Summons volition block your way. You volition involve to rely on mobility skills to instruct to the summoning boss
- You volition receive got inwards a lot of impairment since yous are inwards the front end line
- As such, yous volition involve to heal far to a greater extent than ofttimes than a ranged class
- Some spells are devastating to melee characters such every bit Ice Tortoise (massive H2O ice damage) together with Blinding (-50% accuracy). You volition involve to function around them
- Your attacks volition ofttimes missy compared to spells which hitting 99% of the time
Starting Feats, Class together with Basic Stats
I highly recommend the next ii feats:
1. Toughness for extra HP together with every bit such survivability
2. Food Lover for 18% higher nutrient effectiveness. You volition live healing Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 LOT amongst food. Outside together with within combat. So powerfulness every bit good maximize the usage of it, specially since nutrient volition live ofttimes sparse
The course of report nosotros are picking is called Calligrapher. It is the designated dual-wield course of report inwards this game every bit it gives bonuses to dual wielding amongst whatsoever weapon.
However, if yous desire to instruct dual dagger, yous are in all likelihood ameliorate off picking the Brigand course of report because of the overall synergies.
On degree up, at that topographic point are ii possible focuses:
1. maximize force to increment weapon damage
or
2. maximize guile to increment critical chance
This depends on the mode together with master copy weapon yous desire to go. There are iii possibilities:
1. Strength is focusing raw weapon impairment together with every bit such enables diverse abilities. This is because abilities practise impairment based on weapon damage
2. Guile focuses on critical chance. So, it is less focused on impairment from abilities but rather from critical impairment together with from triggering critical effects
3. Guile besides focuses on parry chance, if yous desire to instruct downwards that road
Guile together with Claws Build
This direct volition focus on ane of the many possible builds because it is to a greater extent than nearly the strategic approach amongst dual wielding rather than a specific build.
This illustration create volition live focusing on Guile on level-up together with Claw every bit master copy weapon. Reasons:

How practise nosotros maximize on together with turn a profit from these factors?
- Dual-wield weapons because nosotros receive got lots of penalization reductions. Also, each weapon tin trigger effects together with critical hits individually
- Do shadow impairment amongst these weapons. This volition penetrate bosses that are normally resistant to all elements together with fifty-fifty receive got 100% immunities.
