Well... LordRiot just made an excelent post about 'Hound strategy vs daggers and summoners... thanks for that! +1
Now another piece of advice... I'm leveling steadily my sub, but I want to know which would be the best skills to choose at 65, 70 and 75...
My thoughts were 65 and 70 choose M. atk... and lvl 75 choose chance haste... but maybe there's a better combination than that. So again, to the more experiences 'houndies around... what would be your best choice?
For Warrior Sub, Chance Haste all the way! SB's Naturally High Attack Speed + Natural High Crit Rate + Chance Haste + Chance Focus(From Arb sub) + +4 Rapier = Party Love!!!!
Sidenote, for those doing FoG in Vulcan's room, if you have a spare party slot try having an SB with a +4 rapier and have him constantly attacking Vulcan to trigger Max Ability, I'd like to hear how effective this would be to help mp usage, especially for nuker parties. Just a random thought really. Oh and tell him to bring empty bottles so he can do something with all those souls ;)
Until you are ready to do Olympiad I would choose the following to help with the grind.
Warrior Sub- Chance Haste. Truly an Amazing and useful exp tool. It triggers alot.
Rogue Sub- I would definitely not take the Chance Critical. I would go with the Master Book instead of Class Specific Skill book and get the Critical Passive. It gives +30 passive crit rate.
I had the Chance Crit. I figured with the combination of chance hast and the max ability buff it would fire alot. It does not. Also, when it does it only boosts critical by +30. Go figure.
Enchanter Sub-Chance Celestial Shield. It triggers alot and will surely save you more then a few times.
With the 65 and 70 books I would go all Patk. The more patck you have the faster you kill mobs. Every little boost helps.
For Olympiad Open class:
warrior sub- CP boost. It gives an extra 730 or so CP. I can not remember the exact number but it is definitely over 700 cp.
rogue- Master PDEF
Enchanter- Chance Barrier
I go pdef because most of the Open enforcer classes are Daggers, Titans, GK and Gladiator on my server.
For Oly closed Comp.
If your lucky enough to have at least 5 noble Soulhounds to do closed comp then only change the PDEF boost to MDEF boost.
