Emmerich Files 001 - Double Reflect Paladin

I apologize for any wrong grammar and discrepancies on my first article. Some email screwed all my .doc files (two of which were insane build articles) and I’m now typing on this primitive Windows notepad with my kitten scratching my speakers :( My first time to post also on a blog lol

Players have most of the time been following certain “norms” when it comes to character builds. Just like during the early days of pRO where hunters maxed out AGI and DEX, knights having insane amounts of agility and assassins having so much LUK. Trends have set a standard on how a character build should be, given certain conditions. This gives the player a sense of security when playing with their character; they know that the “standardized” build they have is effective because it has already proven itself in various modes of combat (PvP, WoE and PvM). Unconventional builds are a rare sight in pRO. Usually players make such unorthodox builds for events such as Boss Time Attacks and other big events. Such character builds give the player an unparalleled advantage over conventional builds. With such builds, players can greatly enhance their characters by also using certain equipment specialized for that certain character only…as what I my first insane character would be.

The first insane build that Wauks and I have thought of is an autocaster paladin. I believe there are a few paladins out there with this build, but I’m sure only a handful have thought of such. The paladin would specialize in wrecking havoc on precasts and mobs though the use of several cards that enable the player to cast spells. You may not be able to fully utilize this build due to the insane cards that it needs. But hey, it’s just a concept. :P

The stats (Naked character):
STR: 20+9
AGI: 84+8
VIT: 47+10
INT: 99+7
DEX: 1+8
LUK: 3+3

Cards to be used:
Dark Lord (MVP)
Wind Ghost
Stormy Knight (MVP)
Bloody Knight
Garm Baby
Baphomet (MVP)

Compulsory Equipment:
Valkyrie Manteau[1]

With the reflect skill and a Valkyrie manteau[1] equipped, you are effectively doubling the chance of any autocast. This is because the paladin’s reflect skill and Valkyrie manteau[1] do not stack. Instead, they reflect a single damage “twice”. Dark Lord shoes alone can cast several Meteor Storms in less than a second with a mob. Having a Baphomet Card compounded on your “spell casting” weapon would be very useful when mobbing for obvious reasons.

Significance in WoE

This build would surely turn the tides of any siege day. Just imagine a single paladin casting so much spells that any guild’s regular warrior would not stand a chance against 5 Meteor Storms, 3 Storm Gusts and 2 Jupitel Thunders.

Significance in PvP

Not much since you rarely get 8-10 people hitting you at any given time. Although maybe after making a lot of enemies because of your AoE spells, I think this build would be fun ;).

Significance in your adventures

You are in for a treat at Juperos Dungeon with this character. I personally level on that dungeon with my DL shoes and I go nuts when I see 15 meteors falling LOL.

  1. Medyo pangmayman ata tong build na to. @@ @@ @@


  2. Kaya I call it an “insane build” heh


  3. 3 MVP Cards, kano kaya tong mga to sa Chaos Servers, kulang ata 1 Billion XD

    Plus the Valkyrie Manteau[1] na napakahirap ihunt XD


  4. Pero imagine if you can pull it off. @@


  5. lol sarap gamitin sa Siege yan heh


  6. Nice article eli! Keep up the good work! :P


  7. I agree with Kuroro, not only are Valkyrie Manteaus[1] expensive in game, the time needed to invest for you to be able to achieve this build calls for numerous top-ups also. swt

    This build would be very handy in case you need to summon an arsenal of spells in an instant.

    Thanks for sharing, elissa. heh


  8. Sarap niyan pag naka GTB pa - pasok sa pre-cast tapos dire-diretso ka na sa EMP. heh


  9. waaaaaaaaaa, halus ganyan din build ng paladin ko heh

    kaso pagkakaiba lang poor ako and I can’t afford yung DL gear -_-

    I think this build is too impractical for a commoner. My budget-friendly recommendation is

    Weapon: Fireblend / Ice Falchion
    Shield: High Orc for PVM or Racial Card
    Armor: Pest
    Accessory: Wind Ghost, Bongun, Violy

    here is my Paladin in action:
    http://jetlogs.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/screenchaos044.jpg

    In WOE, pest and violy is a good combination in breaking precasts.

    However, due to the recent updates on pRO, the autocast Paladin became quite impractial since the autocast chance was nerfed, thus limiting this build only for the rich with DL and SK cards


  10. yesh ahahaha wasak def nila heh


  11. Wow - add kita sa blog roll ko Jetlogs. kis2


  12. kalahati ng equips na yan meron ka diba? ahaha


  13. ack, no comment lol ^^

    *edited a few words, may spell checker pala dito* pah


  14. Nice nice ^^


  15. wauk ask ko lng kung pano ung kafra password pag nakalimutan!!!nid ko pa loadan ibang accounts ko pra lng makapaglaro!!!


  16. wow ha.. kaso LP lng katapat lols /gg


  17. Nice but there are melee precasters as well in kRO and jRO which I both play kRO/jRO have a item called ring of flame lord and Ring of Resonance and the chance of auto cast is quite high heres a demonstration of sniper using the combo


  18. i appreciate the build shared (and yeah i imagine the power if i was to use it gg ) but i hope there would also be builds for the not-so-rich people like me hehehehe. i for one, don’t have any boss cards and i don’t even have 150m zeny in my accounts. heh


  19. in pRO? you’ll hardly last a min in pre cast then you’ll be booted out because of time gap @@


  20. For that to work kailangan tanggalin ang Ecall. Wala na kasi ang taong kumukumpol sa precast para kuyugin ang invaders eh. Lahat nagaabang nalang ng last minute ecall… lahat asa sa stalker na naka GTB.


  21. For that to work kailangan tanggalin ang Ecall. Wala na kasi ang taong kumukumpol sa precast para kuyugin ang invaders eh. Lahat nagaabang nalang ng last minute ecall… lahat asa sa stalker na naka GTB.


  22. Uy, nice to see another old name from Chaos (and sa SM and SC boards). ^^V

    The build would be easy to build and funt o play with imho, parang nagtiyaga ka lang sa AB na chemist (that is is you dun use AB for leveling dahil mahal siya, pang WoE and PvP) like what others said yung Cards sa equipments yung nagpamahal sa kanya.


  23. awts embarass kaw lang ata may kayang bumili nyan kuya wauks d pa yata kasya 2billion jan. unless na mamimigay ka gg hahaha peace gawi


  24. nice concept, pero i agree pang-mayaman nga talaga ung build sob2


  25. me likey! e2 if only they sell those cards in hypermart. maski na thousands yan bibilin ko. @@


  26. @ Wauks

    Why not make an event in-game called “Challenge Vanguard’s Build” or something similar. In this event guilds can battle this crazy builds during a selected castle during WOE. It’s very refreshing to see this builds in action and really see if this builds would really work.

    go gg


  27. na try niyo na Amon Ra card? auto cast lvl10 kyrie, puro miss kalaban sayo nun saka ung mga SB sinx uupo na lang sa tabi mo . haha


  28. no can’t afford ang equips, pang private server lang possible (oops bawal ba ganun dito? baka iban ako ni papa Wauks)

    pero generally it’s really cool, especially for a player who’s into travelling around Midgard a lot.


  29. aw imagine 2 paladins doing that to a pre cast defence… uber lag and damage hehe panu kaya kung nag gc pa ung paladin gg

    sobra nga yata ung stat nun kaya may luk and no dex parang ang hirap ipalvl nyan is humanly posible pero i get the rest of the stats…


  34. I think You also need Pheeoni for this build @@

    Q:will pre-cast activate even when they hit you ?

    and why 3luck instead of 2 dex and 2 luck ? hmm ^^


  35. Aw, baba na nung dex lalagyan pa ng Baphomet…


  36. 108 hit rate without any dex/Hit adding equips 98 hit rate with bapho XD omg


  37. @pong
    That’s a great idea. gg


  38. lol, sige I’ll think of something less insane for next week ^^


  39. parang tanke na may magic … mahirap patumbahin @@ @@


  40. A dream build, true, but it looks like a GC Paladin build minus the Dex and plus the agi to me. The more or less low vit could do wonders with reflect damage.

    I’ve been planning a “Reflecter” Paladin build myself, making use of reflect cards and equipment. Orc Lord for armor, Valkyrie Manteau for garment, and for the shield either High Orc (reflect 5% damage) or an Alice Card (lets you take 50% less damage from MVP monsters, but take I think 40% more from non-MVP monsters - including players!) Even magic reflect cards are a possible choice for equipment.

    The aim of the build is to have melee physical attackers take as much reflect damage from you as possible. It might even be advisable to use equipment with no upgrades and as low def as possible for maximuhm reflect damage. Agi will be high for aspd and flee, just to increase your attack speed. Defender and gator clips are a must to lessen ranged damage as these are not reflected. Int should also be high to make use of a fireblend and ice falchion for offense and the mdef you’re gonna need for spells you can’t reflect. It could even be a hybrid GC build. I’m still working on a possible and workable reflecter build. I think the full valkyrie set could do quite well with this build. no1

    But overall, nice build Elissa! I remember a SC member make a female int-type spear knight before to make use of the Zephyrus she had. She ended up deleting it though… Was that you? heh

    Looking forward to more of your builds! no1


  41. High Agi

    good aspd

    but always miss heh


  42. Naisip ko na tong build dati, kaso d ko naisip na mas effective pala to sa Paladin. Ayos to ah parang gusto ko i-try, kaso kailangan ng mga resources.

    Wauks ulitin mo siege series na may DL card gg


  43. nandyan naman gtb eh…

    or isang guild na nakahubad lahat equip pero lahat naka-Kaite gg


  44. ganda ng build na to.
    i think only vanguards can afford this build and the set of cards and armors.
    pwede na gm ng isang guild yung paladin tapos, 2 silang member nyan. yung isa ganyan din build. dun sila sa tabi ng emp. walang makakalapit!! :))


  45. kis crush ko ung “Avatar” ni Ellissa Emmerich ^_^ kasi crush ko din ung ellissa emmerich sa metal gear solid eh ehehe :)


  46. ^^ maganda nga ung build kaso pangmayaman lang. anywayz, paano namn sa mga highpriest? meron ba kaung mga kakaibang build dyan at combo na para maging strong ang high priests?


  47. Naalala ko tuloy yung isa sa mga naunang sikat na wiz noon (2003 - 2004) .. anu na nga ba name nun? Yung agi-int build na wiz hehe


  48. @Du

    That would be uh Nethermir I think. From Saints. He was the first 99 character in pRO History, followed shortly by Nethermir.

    @Everyone
    Elissa will be posting every Tuesday. She’ll be posting a more user-friendly build next week (hindi insane equipment).

    Again, thanks Elissa for sharing your builds! Hope to see more articles soon. Btw guys, I’m thinking of getting one more contributing writter but I want him/her to focus more on interviewing Ragnarok personalities. Anyway, more on that some other time.

    Kafra Storage DC BUG Victim
    April 25th, 2007 at 8:40 pm

    My post was deleted and ignored. I guess wala na talaga kami matatakbuhan sa problema namin ngayon. grabe talaga, to think na hindi naman namin kasalanan kung bakit na-Bug ang storage namin, kayong LU ang may kasalanan! 13 weeks ang counting na ang storage bug, hindi naman kami nagkulang sa pagfile ng report and yet walang nangyayari.


  50. i was just wondering if you can think of an insane STAT build for a stalker or a dagger type sinx both (WOE type) thanks! ^^ kis


  51. Regarding the insane built yeah it’s possible in all servers except in

    Thor unless some players decided to collect the MVP cards for such

    purpose.

    Episode 11.1 is coming. And SinX class would get stronger once more

    with the coming of infiltrator[1] and icepick[1].

    I am interested to see what kind of built of SinX built of yours Ms. Eli

    ^_^ for War Of Emperium and also for PVP.

    Add also the equipments too regarding your built of SinX ^_^.

    Hope Godly Equips are not included ^_^.


  52. [...] I read this article about an Autocast Paladin[waukster.com] build. I thought that it was too impractical for commoners, since that build required [...]


  53. hahaha… d naman insane yan eh…

    already did the DL / DI cards… tapos punk card…

    hahaha… look at the quag… stunned… saya na po para sa akin..

    also it works with devotion…the more devotees…

    more chances of spamming… haha… yet ibang iba ung stats mo sa akin.


  54. para saan ung bapho sa weap? di ko magets e @@


  55. Correction Mr. Waukeen, I thik you are referring to Neverwinter being the 1st level 99 Wizard. I remember that guy spamming Quag and Fire Wall on GH. Agi wiz FTW right Jetlogs? gg


  56. Imagine placing this build in Thor.. You will be killing players in WOE in no time! owned


  57. Instead of Bapho dapat pala Phreeoni wah Just a concept build anyway heh

    Just posted another build, snipers naman. No MVP cards needed!


  58. I am wondering how Wind Ghost, Stormy Knight (MVP), Bloody Knight, Garm Baby, and Baphomet (MVP) affect Reflect Damage on this build

    As far as I can see those cards require the user to be attacking correct? so how can reflecting the damage affect them?


  59. Reflected damage thru the Valkyrie Manteau and Reflect Shield are considered as neutral property attacks. no1


  60. alam ko tawag d2…

    boga build (bano build)

    ung wiz nga na naka bragis inde makapatay

    un pa kyang pachance chance lng cast


  61. Tested this build already. Really only good for WoE, so if you want to boost your guild’s effectiveness and have some cash lying around, try this out and fck your enemies up. You could also go wit maya shield and orc lord armor, since reflect shield and orc lord stack, and when you reflect it gives back a lot of damage cuz of your low vit.


  62. pang mayaman yan.. sana may makuha akong ganyan sa poring pag pinatay ko
    sob2


  63. nice idea.. pero kung makikita nyo yung stats, ang lambot nito.. wah


  64. @maInmAN
    huh? panung lalambot? eh double reflect nga? lol ;p

    @baluga
    uy.. harsh.. tsk tsk tsk.. wag ganun.. nweiz.. natest mo na ba toh? see first before u judge.. ^^


  65. weee, nice paladin build no1

    kaso magastos ata to.. omg

    nga pala, para san SK card? q


  66. Ahm. There is a certain build that will make paladin super strong against any characters (except Professor-i really hate there skills).
    Considering the economy of pRO today. Kayang kaya na yan.
    Hindi ko muna sasabihin ngayon kasi ako muna gagawa hahah.
    Pero im sure.

    Champ vs. Paladin 90% chance of winning
    Sin X vs. Paladin 92% chance of winning.
    WS vs. Paladin 88% chance of winning.
    Stalker vs. Paladin 98% chance of winning.
    Sniper vs. Paladin 100% chance of winning.
    Creator vs. Paladin 88% chance of winning
    High Priest vs. Paladin 60% chance of winning.
    Paladin vs. Paladin.
    Gunslinger/Wizard/Gypsy/Clown vs Paladin 100% chance of winning.

    Hahaha! Wanna guess?
    gg


  67. I wanna see the paladin build that has a 100% chance of winning against a sniper o.O if ever meron nian, pakita mo po sakin. interesting heh


  68. haha nice one Elissa ;)
