Yes but with 99 dex you lack the vit to have higher hp hence not die while casting GC no?

[GM-Pandora]

You make an intense use of your heal skill to compensate for that I think ^_^

[GM-Feith]

heh

you'll have around 10k of mhp instead of 18k but i assure it's worth it.
use heal and you'll be okay.

Well, i played 3-4 crusaders as a main character and used the GC build type and it's the best combination i found out.

50 str + 90+ int makes a rather powerful grand cross, I lose more than half my hp casting GC, its more or less a suicide attack hehe.

Any suggestion about what I said? (keep in mind my build is entirely PvM, I don't PvP)

I remember there being a way to actually have the GC damage heal you... possibly a change in armor element?

I know for a fact I've seen it done before.

you would need to be element holy 2 or higher for that, not possible with the current available cards on this server. Angeling makes you holy 1, you would need another card or equip that give you holy element in order to become holy 2.

Here's a site with an elemental chart:

Being holy 2 would just be way too nice ^_^;

Actually str in a GC build is almost only for increasing weight limit ( stock up on grape juice or blue pots ) ... if you look it up you'll notice that the dmg difference on an average monster is about 500 dmg between 20 and 50 str (with 99int) ... if you invest those into dex you'll have lower cast time/delay and actually do more dmg per second and end up being more efficient. You can also easily gain that dmg back by getting andre cards. Int and dex are way more important in a GC build than str (heck even vit is IMO).

As for the 99dex build ... yes its GC is a bit less powerful, but with the low cast time/delay ... it works wonders. You also end up damaging your self less with your GCs. IMO with an angeling card it's the best GC to go for (eventhough I'm a GC + Heal hater I can admit the dex build packs a punch).

IMO 99 in a stat is a bit overrated, youd better stop at 90-95 and put the extra point in another stat.

Try to make it so that your matk is right on a bonus level (im not sure when int bonus kicks in? every 10 points?)

There is a bonus calculator on rodatabase.org

I find it quite useful for that exact reason.

Ben it's every 6 points ...
