I use to play SRO..

was a lv 31 pure str blader, but I got sick of doing nothing but grinding, quit for a while.

Now I'm back, with the urge to play again..but I can't decide what build I want to be. I read guides, everything, still can't chose.

I have a 2h on Odin, lv 7, but Idk what sublcass I want him to be, or even if 2h is what I want to be.

I think 2h is really fun, but I don't wanta end up getting owned/not accepted to parties later in the game..

So..

What class should I be?

I want to do high damage, or be the huge hitter type of guy, but can still hold his own when it comes to defense...is 2h good for that?

Or something else?

Right now I'm thinking 2h with a sub as cleric, so I can heal to make up for my low def..thena gain I think warlock would be fun, because from what I've heard about both classes..combining warlock and 2h would do ungodly amounts of damage..but as I said, I'm not sure

2H/1H/cleric

2H owns in PvP
1H is for tanking in parties
cleric for healing

Ok. But, I've enver really heard of a build with a blend of three classes, is it possible to pull that off without sacrificing power in the other classes.

What i'm basically asking is

If I decide to add 1h to my setup, in the long run will my 2h and cleric part be weaker in the long run?

No. It would just mean that you require more sp to master that setup. 1h, 2h and dual axe all come under the same mastery tree. When players here talk about 2h+sub, its really warrior+sub. The limiting factor of your charachter build is sp requirement, and mastery point limit (which is level dependent). You can max out 1h, 2h and dual axe + cleric sub if you so wish to do so (if you're willing to sp farm for the skills).

^ what he said. you dont really need axe skills at all. a good warrior build (if you like warriors) is 2h,1hclerics...you can solo great, tank great, pvp great. but ya you are gonna get dragged down under the sp requirement. unless you can handle sp farming...try to only get 2h i guess..and not max 1h...to reduce your sp consumption..also you dont need all the skills in your cleric sub so that helps too...look under the warrior guide to see what skills you need.

good luck and welcome back.

Ok..so heres my plan

Would a

2h maxed out

1h, not maxed out, but high

Cleric maxed out

Work? and be good?

Or 2h and 1h maxed out, with cleric high.

P.S:Can't find a guide on a 1h/2h warrior cleric guide...

for Cleric sub:

The Cleric sub-class is a favorable one. I labeled it under SD and PD because the most useful cleric skillz benefit you and parties. If you choose sub this class you'll have an easier time solo grinding because not only will you have access to healing spells but you'll also have access to defense boosting spells which are more beneficial to Dagger Rogues than xbow rogues in terms of PvE. The Cleric sub-class with benefit both dagger and xbow rogues in PvP. Im very sure you need a cleric rod on hand to cast any of these spells. The benefits come from the following skillz.

SD-will greatly improve your defensive capabilities while solo. If you choose this form of the build you will basically only need the buffs and should not be prepared to act as a temp-healer if your party should need it. Your a strictly focusing on the buffs that will enhance your soling abilities.
-Healing
-Healing Cycle
-Bless
-Holy Word
-Heaven Flash
-Recovery Division

Got it from Xemnas XD

K, thanks everyone! I'm going 2h/1h/cleric.

I recently left Odin, and joined Venus because I heard alot of good stuff about it.

So if iys ok to add any of you guys, or anyone else on Venus from the forums, thanks

just remember, you dont really need to max out the skills in 1H. When you are 1H, your job is to be a human shield, not a damage dealer. Each time you lv up your 1H skills, you only add power. Keeping your skills at lv 1 is a great idea if you want to save SP. Your lv 1 skills still aggro and will be effective. If you want to max out the skills, go for it. More power for you in the end. Just keep upgrading your passives for the 1H.

Read this over, this is the best guide i have ever seen. This explains the skills perfectly as well as some tips that i never knew until i read this over.

feel free to add or ask any question, also make sure you add your char in this topic: viewtopic.php?f=58&t=78769
it does help on finding a party to grind with "at least it did help me get through the first levels quickly."
Remember you have to work for the end result, give yourself some goals to reach, cover your exp bar with the ESCAPE menu (its amazing how fast time does go when you have that thing covered)

about the build choice, i see you love being a tanker, go with warrior 1 hand for now, it helps you tank a bit easier through the first levels since those were for me quite a nightmare (people who simply solo grinding in a group or people that rather just watch you work) don`t take a sub it will slow you down on leveling and since you sounded like someone who don`t want to spend hours sp farming stay with 1 mastery only.

make sure you contact people first before you join the server it might help you enjoy your experience a bit more when there are people ready to help.

ya there hell a fun i have a 1h warlock ^^

Warrior (1h+2h) with cleric sub's really good. 1h's basically for share parties, and when you're in a jam while soloing (i.e., getting ganged up from mobs; changing to 1h and using shield crush to get mobs away and to tank more is helpful, got me out of tough spots more than a couple times). And obvious 2h's for soloing, but as I said above, 1h comes into solo-play also; 2h comes into share pting when you need the dmg, but that's rare. I'd reccomend going 1h first, then farming for 2h later. 1h's more useful for pt's and helps a ton in your tanking ability.

For cleric sub, you really don't need all the heals, healing cycle suffices when you needa switch and give yourself or other some HP. Subbing as cleric won't work out especially at higher levels, and there's almost always an int with sub-cleric that can jump in to sub if need be. The most important thing you'll need though are the ressurections, just in case everyone esle who can ress dies.

So basically you'll only need: Recovery divion, healing cycle, ressurections, Bless Spell, Holy Word/Spell, and the Flash skills.

1h/2h/cleric and 1h/warlock r both good ^_^. I was deciding between those 2, and since I HATE sp farming, I chose 1h/warlock instead. I'm still lvl 3X, so kinda nooby, lol.
