    Im curious as too some of the more unique builds out there that see usage in the field. This can be pvp, pvm, or just a build you felt worth sharing. We all know the standard stun mage (with healing or inscription), the resist eval tamer, provo dexxer, mage bard, stealth theif etc etc. Sometimes it seems like those are the only options, but i know ive seen some pretty unique builds out there.

    My favorite unique build i field is a double stun mage, so 7x GM, Magery, Meditation, Resist, Eval, Fencing, Wrestling, Anatomy. This lets you switch to your spear for harrassing damage, or if a stun fails, switch to spear and still potentially get a parlyzing blow while your spells are precasted. You can also pull off the elusive and semi- pointless double stun

    Let us know what you got!

    Mine was a stun punch tamer. Once you get the stun you sync drop with your mare.

    Probably same build I had. It was 100 taming and lore and then sub 100 magery, meditation, eval, anatomy, wrestling and resists. But it was too similar to a stun mage so I went the classic fencer tamer build with healing which is a very fun template to play. I usually take this build to pking for shits and giggles.

    I cant talk much on the subject of pvp builds, but these are my top 5 unique pvm builds:
    1. Keza - Macer/tamer, pure damage, destroys bosses.
    2. Keza Ward - Parry/dexxer/lockpicker, fights dungeon monsters while looting lvl4 chests.
    3. Keza Axer - Ossytank/axer, plows through instances ironman style!
    4. Keza Proto - Swords/mage/tamer, very flexable build with very odd tames.
    5. Keza Clef - Fencer/bard (fire bard), uses firehorn to damage bosses during ironman runs.

    Most of my builds are standard, but I think I've tailored my recall miner/lumberjack fairly well.

    100 anatomy
    100 healing
    100 lumberjacking
    70.1 magery
    39.9 meditation
    100 mining
    100 swords
    91.9 tactics

    He's mostly used as a resource gatherer now but still has most of the combat skills needed to play a fighter / melee character.

    Hope it doesn't cause a change in the npc mechanics but anyway you asked:

    Got 2 funny Pure Dexxer templates for you.

    Disarm Stun Macer o_O

    Wrestling
    Arms Lore
    Mace Fighting
    Tactics
    Anatomy
    Healing
    Hiding (or Resist depending on preference)


    I don't expect to fight high level casting mobs with this obviously but hear this. You can disarm goons (Pirates, Brigands, Executioners, Event mobs etc.) with weapons with this and wrestle with them. It's hilarious. If you want you can bash mace to finish them off. Also will help on scroll events if you act as support (archers wont shoot when disarmed etc.)

    Trolling Disarm Stun Nox Warrior :confused:

    Wrestling
    Arms Lore
    Tactics
    Anatomy
    Healing
    Poisoning
    Swords or Fencing

    This one also trolls with poison against casters, Would work nice with a cross healing dexxer.

    My explorer, shopper, IDOCer, rescuer & general errand runner -

    Healing
    Hiding
    Magery
    MagicResist
    Wrestling
    Meditation
    Stealth

    His objective is a simple one - don't die. He manages it fairly well. I spend far more time on him than I'd anticipated when he was first created.

    Used this on OSI and a few of the other free shards. Was for an RP-PK guild GUL.

    Spear da'Magi [Enforcer, GUL]
    60 Str (80 hp)
    80 Dex
    85 Int

    GM Fencing
    GM Tactics
    GM Healing
    GM Anatomy
    GM Magery
    GM Meditation
    GM Eval Int


    80hp and 0 Resist was always dicey, but that's what made it fun for me. Learned very early how to rely on all the things available to me: pots, bandies, magic, etc, et al. Though, a lucky RNG Explo / FS could literally put you out.

    Was a super aggressive build, and effective. A +20 short / spear with precast explo made for a lot of fun when a parablow went off. I was also commonly found to use DP Vanq Daggers, because why not.

    I don't know how efficient the build would be here with people all using stun mages, explo pots, and lightning wands.... or worse, pk tamers... but I really enjoyed it during this period on OSI / other shards.

    I have a Vet Bard that makes any monster my own.

    I also have a unique PK build that has been going around.

    Always like the MC Hammer build. Music, Peace, Macing, Tactics, Anatomy, Healing, Resist (and a few points out of tactics and healing put towards magery to facilitate recall). STOP! Hammer time!

    Not sure how different this build is but I'm using him a lot more for utility purposes than I thought I would - just wish I had raised tracking earlier for this event.

    Created him initially for solo level 4 tmaps (too lazy to gm lockpicking).

    GM Magery Music Provo Hiding
    95 Lockpicking
    85 Meditation
    60 Cartography, Tracking (yes that's enough for level 4 tmaps)
