A-grade PP

I'm so torn about this...
Finally hit 61 on my pp, don't know if I should go Majestic Robes + acumen or Tallum Heavy + focus....
If I go robes I'm going to be group dependant, but I'm afraid there's no love for live pp's on Kain
If I go heavy, I'll have next to no room to buff more than myself and two other people, and that'll be a big gimp...
currently still killing in BW heavy w/ +6dama w/ focus...but I want an upgrade to a dang it ><
get a new account and make an archer and power level it to 61 with your prophet then group them.
agree w/ Vina....
however, if you will stick w/ that **** class, best would be to get both, one for solo, one for groups...
but you can buff w/ melee focus weapon easily, but you cant melee w/ acu nuker weapon, so for weapon i would go melee weapon...
for armor, you can get bw robes + tallum heavy or stick w/ bw heavy and get maj robes if you cant afford 2 Agr sets (I couldnt as well when I was your lvl) its possible to solo in robes + melee waapon, but you have to choose hunting spot carefuly, for example wyrms in BS are nice for prophets, do magic dmg drop herbs...but fotd > bs and for fotd, tallum heavy is awesome
I would recommend Dagger with focus, Two handed sword with focus is also nice as well...lots of good dmg from them.

Or Bow: I know acc/cast speed is gimped, but if you go to Hot springs and get the malaria, you can boost your Acc at the cost of Evasion. If you plan to go Bow, get MAJ light, +5 str.

Best is duo with a HE or PR. HE preferred cause they carry alot more items and stay out alot longer then PR before restocking (unless G/C SS is used).

Both Tallum heavy and Maj heavy are really good sets. Atlest till S grade...then the only good armor set is Drac light, Sorry but IC is a horrible set for PP! (the new buffer robes 'dynesty' will be really nice has a root land rate boost)

however if you choose to use Heavy don't think you can self heal with battle heal or heal, your cast speed is seriously gimped!

Best tattoo's imo is +5 str (-5 con), and +4 wit (-4 men). when you get to 78/79 and start to do Olym.. Remove the +str switch to +dex...alway's - con.
I wouldnt recommed dagger if you are not rich one, w/ our low dmg, you would pay a lot for SS to kill a mob. so lower attackspeed weapon = more money.
Bow is definitely bad idea, its horrible for pve on prophet even in duos w/ archers.
Duo w/ archer is usualy boring if its not good location which gives propeht something to do: heal, root, melee.
Tallum is good for FoTD, otherwise I would take maj heavy for any other location.
IC set is good if you go oly etc.
You can heal/battheal yourself in heavy without any problems, not that huge differene w/ light armor.
-con is not always good idea, and I really like +5 wit.

You got a D on this test?? Yeah, If you can only get 1 I would go with the solo set up. Its alot easier to group and buff with that set up than to solo with a different 1. Also, if you are in a good clan, buy your own solo gear(tallum/foc weapon) and your clan should help you with the buffer gear.

Listen to me carefully. I know i can help you.
Prophet is a very fashinating character to play, if you use him correctly. About your enigma, there is no Enigma. With Robe Set you cannot fight. And Prophets CAN fight decently. With Heavy you cant buff.
The solution, is to use 2 armors. AND robe AND Heavy. In my A i was using Tallum Heavy (it gives 8% weight limit, so i could carry the Robe), AND Tallum Robe. I choose Tallum Robe becouse they use the same helmet ;-) So no extra weight. I could use DC Robe, but Tallum gives 15% casting speed (the same as DC) so i didnt have any reason to choose different Robe Armor. Besides that I would carry the DC Helmet.. and i dont want extra weight.
To change between Robe -> Heavy and opposite, its very easy. you just press 1 macro button. You will create a Macro with the Robe Set Parts in one bar, and an other macro with Heavy Set Parts in the same bar. Includig the 2 weapons... i forgot to tell you that you must carry 2 weapons. You will fill the macros only with the sortcuts ot the armor parts. Then you will name the first macro "robe" the 2nd "heavy" and you finish.
For Heavy armor weapon, use duals. Kesh*Kesh (Tallum*Dam) for killing speed, or Kesh*Damaskus for the 25% HP. I must tell you that with 25% HP of the duals + Bless the Body 6 + the much HP that Prophet has, you will have a lot of life that you could use for dyes. My favorite dye is +5STR -5CON. CON is the life, but you have enough to spend.

I wouldnt recommed dagger if you are not rich one, w/ our low dmg, you would pay a lot for SS to kill a mob. so lower attackspeed weapon = more money.

yeah what do I know...I never made hero did I? *rolls eyes* /sarcasm

you can do what Nya says, or you can try what I say; they both work...but TBH I was much much happier in Light then Heavy.

And the set bonus on Light is better then Heavy for most armor (drac > IC). Specially if you want to kill fast. Tallum heavy is nice VS mage mobs, but MAJ heavy is better VS P df atk mobs.

Oh so I guess L2 changed, defense > offense at lest thats what Nya says. And with Malaria The acc loss is nothing, and you kill alot faster then with any other weapon, Bow > all!!
I've normally got my brother on his SE meleeing with me, so we don't go through SS as much as most people, so daggers wouldn't be a bad choice[lol what's right-click auto ss?]

anyway, once I sell my NM heavy, I think I'm gonna stick with my +6dama w/ focus until I can sell it for 110Mil x_x and gear myself in tallum heavy
ok bud sell your drama that low(yes it's madly under priced), get your tallum...now what are you going to do for a new weapon?

glad you like the dagger choice. My former PP (hero) had AS with haste. with epics I was able to get about 1k atk speed with full buffs. and over 800 with just my own buffs. if you want to kill your opponents you got to kill them before they can kill you, and it takes atk speed to do that!

I don't get it. For much cheaper you can use just devotion set to switch to and then back to Tallum heavy as soon as your done buffing. Why waste extra money unless you're a reroll/ebayer?

cause that's ghetto.
Well I sold my NM gear from my TK 'cause he's on a break now, got my Tallum heavy, now my little issue is trying to sell my Dama here....only reason I'm selling so cheap is because people want the dama to make duals right? hence why they cost 75-85 on my server....

I've tried doing 150m, I even tried 110m.... no luck still :(

Are you dumb or what? did I said anything bad about your post, did I say that you dont have expreience to post here or what, you cant stand others ppl opinion?

drac > ic, for some locations, ic> drac for some locations (if we talking about soloing/duoing where proph tank)
but ic is better for oly
where did you find out that maj heavy is better against pdef mobs? tallum heavy is good for attack speed and ressisst in fotd, maj heavy for +patk and acc, run l2calc and see whats the difference, but i have never said tallum is bad (w/ cholera tallum has little bit more dps, w/o maj > tallum btw)

and bow? bow is horrible, and cholera will not make it up, even on 76+ (we talking about agrder) w/ drac bow (which is best bow ever), FB/focus >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> drac bow/focus
Yummm, I might have lost a few dps going dragon slayer over bloody orchid w/ focus, but I look **** **** in TallumPA and a Dragon Slayer. I level deliciously nice with my buddies bd and my brother on his se ^^

Thanks for all your guys' opinion & help!!

p.s. BW robes and Hom w/ Acumen still works well in groups even until later levels right? (I know, I'm insane for leveling a character that's highly boxed and I like it!)
yes, bw robes are enough till 80+ if you dont pvp
and if I wanted to pvp in robe? Majestic robes + ?
maj robes or dc robes, both are good, both have different advantages
Majestic robes for the stun resist, well... assuming anyone bothers with stun any more what with ridiculous archer crits. But as a healer I've pvp'd/sieged in both and I like the maj better for the stun resist anyway.
