Ok so I've played the DD/Tank and a Buffer/Healer. I love doing both so I was thinking of creating an orc mystic, mainly a warcrier. I have a clan/ally we already have a overlord and I figure if something happens and I group outside of clan/ally a warcrier would be better.
My question is can some of you experienced Warcriers out there give me some suggestions on a good build for them?
As to what armor you think is best, what weapon, tattoo's, etc... I'm currently lvl 33 with +5 D grade duals and Elven mithril set.
According to who you whant to be. Personaly i went mele. 40-44 i wore FP and war axe+ shield. Changed later for a zerk blade+focus. Much better, even so i fought archer mobs too. At 44 I got PL set and +4str/-con, another huge improvement. But i'm not shure which added more new buffs or armor+tatoos.

I hope you enjoy ur stay
For under 20 I would do wooden armor (personally I did bronze but hey looking back wooden is better). For a weap a shield/sword works, a 2 handed sword, a bow, or a mystic type weap. Personally I would do a 2 handed sword or a swrod/shield combo. the 1h sword and shield allows u to take more damage (block attacks) but the 2h sword deals more dmg with drain life getting u more hp back. Until u get guidance at 40+ u have to deal with this characters largest drawback..its the lowest acc class in the game.. so a bow can work however it is not as effective same for dagger .Staying healed with the drain life is no problem even if u decide to melee it with a sword/blunt/dagger.
at 20+ brig or manticore for armor and the same arguments for weaps. For my character I got dual swords. The bonuses for each armor is
Robe: most Mp avaiable, highest cast speed, but low p def, Perfect for a support role in groups
Light: more p def than robe, lower cast speed (great for solo/duos)
Heavy: most p def, lowest cast speed, and half the mp regen of light/robes (great for solo, tanking in big groups)
I went heavy all the way to lvl 52 (b grade) and rarly felt the pain of the reduced Mp regen and rarely had to sit too.
For the rest I will copy and paste from one of my earlier posts
ok Heres how I went for my WC
FP set and a bezerker blade (2h sword) 40-52 with karmian top/bottom (didn't even bother to complete the set) as backup.
Pre-56 getting groups will be hard I mostly soloed til about 48 or so and then started duoing til about 66 for the best xp. Since u have few buffs before 48 the extra mp regen of light and robes at this point is overrated.
Now my bezerker blade was +6 and then +8 so I decided to use it for B grade too however if not I would have gotten a GS. My main reason is that WC relies on M atk almost as much as P atk. So I decided the extra m atk I recieved from the 2h sword was worth no shield(as a bonus while the DPS is pretty close the 2 handed swords swing slower therefore less SS usage)
52-64 Bw light + bezerker blade with Bw robes as backup
At B grade bw light has the extra bonus os cast speed and p def and m regen. You will stay about equal with ur previous FP p def.
At this point Soloing becomes harder, if U decide to solo then a dagger would be ur best weap. However Duoing in my opoioins is the best I duoed all the way to 66 with my light/bezerker setup. We alternated tanking and the extra mp regen allowed me to keep my partner healed and the cast speed allowed for better crowd control
after 64,65 (don't remeber) I sold my Bw light and went for tallum robe. (finally able to afford it)
61+ My tallum robe was primary and my bw light became sec. I put on tallum light however bw p def was still higer. If I had the money I would get DC set as my secondary but cash is still limited.
since 66+ is almost all about grouping for melee a caster setup to help in full groups is prefered. DC robe is very good too however I didn't have the money and tallum is a good replacement.
I got a +9 AobA for PvP and a +5 sls*Tsu for PvE
in summary
heavy-solo
light-duo/small group
robes-big groups
duals/1h/2h swords- PvE group/duo dmg
dagger-solo damage (it can be used for groups too if u can afford the SS) watch out tho no m atk = lots of failed sleeps
Blunt w/ heatlh- PvP weap
40-52 solo mostly
52-66 duo mostly
66+ groups mostly
Chose what u want, WC is the most versatile class. Pm me for more info I would have replied sooner but I didn't see ur post.
