Best Main + Merc Skill Selection

nexon120 · *(0)*

can anyone give a detailed and through opinion of what 5(max) skills to have for all the main and mercs out there and why; all the way up to the talent points. Im confused about what points to allocate, especially for main/mercs with 7+ skills.

Maybe you can be more specific which merc/main etc. No merc or main can have 5maxed skills. 150skill point for a lv150 with 60bonus points from vial of potentials I/II, =210skill points. 80 x 5 = 400skill points(not possible).

look harder.
also use your head since it's not that hard to figure out whats good. you didnt even say if it's PvP or pve. some mains dont have one best skill build like staff, instr or spear.

Ty for being a smart ass. I simply like to compose and analyze what people like and form my own based on theories, and situations including PvE and PVP. This is the reason I have this posted, so you can explain, compare, voice your opinion of [said] skill. Like you stated, some mains do not have one best skill.... So instead of attacking me and offering one thousand words saying nothing but the same question I asked; how about some real inputs in the game?

So ya, here's your most basic skill builds/Based on my personal opinion. But note there are some builds not listed and are -Situational- Hell Flame builds etc... Your welcome, and lucky I'm bored.

Pegasus Sword adds 36 lvl, Charm adds 15, Glitter Bracelet adds 3 lvl each (x2 = 6) and Ruby Necklace adds 3 lvl.
36 +15 +6 +3 = 60 skill lvl bonus.
decrease 6 for SwordM since SwordM can't wear bracelets.

so you doesn't exactly needs 80 skill lvl to maximize all skills of SwordM & Sword mercenaries.

i'll try to list them :
*notice that this is for PvP.
SwordM : 60 Chaos Edge, 80 Flame Sword, 35 Dark Seed, 1 Guard Dispel and 24 Shield Bash.
Mana Burn build w/ Exo & Champ : 60 Chaos Edge, 68 Mana Burn, 80 Flame Sword, 1 Guard Dispel and 1 Break Down.

Exorcist : 70 Speed Cast, 70 Mana Seal, 69 Mana Burn and 1 Seal Staff.
Pirate : 70 Toxic Sword, 80 Crimson Blade and 60 Marauder's Edge.
Champion : 70 Athena's Protection, 80 Weapon Rend and 60 Shield Bash.
Valkyrie : 80 Odin's Chain, 70 Valhalla's Sword and 60 Quickening.
Warlord : 60 Thunderbolt Slash, 70 Rally and 50 Demoralize.

passive has a max lvl of 70 in PvP and 80 in PvE. so the extra 10 skill lvl doesn't count in PvP.

putting information like that is simply useless if that's what you will use to create your own build. There are way too many informations and every mercenary works different with other main or merc selection.

for example Stalkster's info is bad in my opinion.

7. Sword(80Shield Bash, 80Chaos Blade, 1Guard dispel, 1Break down[Might], 48Dark Seed)

maxing things is pointless for sword main not to mention that maxing shield bash is purely for TBS purposes which simply is a bad idea since swordM doesnt shine anywhere else than pvp. max chaos edge (look at charms and +skill items) and flame sword, then put flame sword talent which will make you able to do 20k+ damage to one target in two activations. even if you're a HF build putting dark seed so low is a bad idea since it's your key magic skill.

you see? that so much to talk just about two skills.

Not gonna do every single build with adding skill gears+charms etc
