  • Emmerich Files 001 – Double Reflect Paladin

    Emmerich Files
    25th April 2007 - By elissa

    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.

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

    • elissa on April 25, 2007

      Kaya I call it an “insane build” :heh:

    • Kuroro on April 25, 2007

      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

    • Wauks on April 25, 2007

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

    • WhiteIce on April 25, 2007

      lol sarap gamitin sa Siege yan :heh:

    • cpm29 on April 25, 2007

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

    • Arthur Sinclair on April 25, 2007

      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:

    • Wauks on April 25, 2007

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

    • Jetlogs on April 25, 2007

      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

    • WhiteIce on April 25, 2007

      yesh ahahaha wasak def nila :heh:

    • Wauks on April 25, 2007

      Wow – add kita sa blog roll ko Jetlogs. :kis2:

    • WhiteIce on April 25, 2007

      kalahati ng equips na yan meron ka diba? ahaha

    • elissa on April 25, 2007

      ack, no comment lol :^^:

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

    • cpm29 on April 25, 2007

      Nice nice ^^

    • faulter on April 25, 2007

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

    • BossA on April 25, 2007

      wow ha.. kaso LP lng katapat lols /gg

    • Keth on April 25, 2007

      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

    • Fred-ster on April 25, 2007

      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:

    • eReBoS on April 25, 2007

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

    • Shiseido on April 25, 2007

      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.

    • mhuu~ on April 25, 2007

      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.

    • tope on April 25, 2007

      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:

    • Lord_Obelisk on April 25, 2007

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

    • chardy on April 25, 2007

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

    • pong on April 25, 2007

      @ 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:

    • mahalaga on April 25, 2007

      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

    • Choco Baby on April 25, 2007

      :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.

    • Lantern on April 25, 2007

      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:

    • Mandirigman Antik on April 25, 2007

      tips nmn po ..

      :^^: :flag: :pah:

    • Talangka on April 25, 2007

      What’s the LUK for?

    • wOOp on April 25, 2007

      ^Sobrang Stat po ata yun.

      No Dex? :^^:

    • †ricks†er on April 25, 2007

      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…

    • Keth on April 25, 2007

      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: :^^:

    • Talangka on April 25, 2007

      Aw, baba na nung dex lalagyan pa ng Baphomet…

    • Keth on April 25, 2007

      108 hit rate without any dex/Hit adding equips 98 hit rate with bapho XD :o mg:

    • Wauks on April 25, 2007

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

    • Elissa on April 25, 2007

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

    • klax`volnutt on April 25, 2007

      parang tanke na may magic … mahirap patumbahin :@@: :@@:

    • Frithiof on April 25, 2007

      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:

    • Toinks on April 25, 2007

      High Agi

      good aspd

      but always miss :heh:

    • Feyren on April 25, 2007

      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:

    • Whistler on April 25, 2007

      nandyan naman gtb eh…

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

    • Paladinggggggg on April 25, 2007

      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!! :) )

    • benjj on April 25, 2007

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

    • randy on April 25, 2007

      :^^: 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?

    • Du Gha Zan on April 25, 2007

      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

    • Wauks on April 25, 2007

      @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 on April 25, 2007

      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.

    • Justin on April 27, 2007

      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:
