Well, hi guys, I'm playing a server that got the "limit break" thing, so the cap level is 175/60 and we got new skills.

I'm a (horrible) GX Player, but I want to try a RK play, and I found myself looking through tons of Rune Knight Guides, and I'm still confused.

I like the way I can chain Hundred Spears + Spiral Pierce (yes, someone still uses it), but Dragon Breath and Dragon Breath Water (yes, finally, high dmg on Ifrit w/o Elemental Converter! ) are awesome AoE, yet they consume a lot my SP and depend on my Curret HP, which sucks for me since I'm a solo player (Server ATT is about 80~90).

I searched and saw this Hybrid build on iRO DB:

Dragon Breath Build]http://irowiki.org/wiki/Rune_Knight#Dragon_Breath_Build] Dragon Breath Build

Mixed DB/IB Build.

STR:90-97 (if getting Hundred Spears/IB)
AGI:1-60 (60 only to get rid of animation delay, but not recommended for early on)
VIT:105-120
INT:90
DEX:70-90
LUK:31


I fell in love with the mixed Dragon Breath / Ignition Break Build, high STR, VIT and INT, and because the server is 175/60, I can get the three skills, Rune Mastery 10 and Enchant Blade 5.

So I need your help: Is this mixed build really useful for MVPing ?

And some addiotional questions:

1) AGI really decrease the animation time delay in skills such DB ?

2) Which gears should I use to maximize my DPS ? Since the drop on my server is quite high, I can have some high tier gears. Since I'm a newbie with RK's and all the guides I looked recommended "closed sets", like Ur's, Goibne or Morpheus, I got suspicious if there wasn't any other better combination, like Diabolus Armor + Peco and Tidal Wool Combo + Green Ferus Card.

3) Which is the best weapon for MVPing? Moonlight Dagger for extra SP, Random Weapon [4] w/ speficic card, like Abysmal and size/race/element modifiers ?

4) Does the effect of Rideword Hat, Hunter Fly Card, etc works with Dragon Breath ?

Well, that was a quite long post with lots of questions, but If you could answer me and solve my doubt, I would be in eternal debt. just kidding, but I would be grateful.

For your build, get rid of the LUK, stay at 105 VIT and invest slightly more of INT and DEX. Having high STR in RE doesn't matter much if you're not using a highly overup'd weapon. You may want to consider dropping it slightly to be able to invest in other points.

1) Yes, to be more specific it's ASPD.

2) DB scales hardest off MAX SP, then current HP, so if you HAD to choose between 10% HP or 10% SP, you'll find that the increased SP will usually be significantly more damage.

3) Moonie Dagger, DB doesn't factor in things like % mods from cards. But it does apply damage effects, such as Mailbreaker. For MVPing most people using Spiral or Hundred Spear with Bragi.

4) Yes.

Thanks very much, I was already getting bored of spending time with my 4fun Battle AB :)

What server is this?

I used to play an RK. My build is kinda hybrid so deal with my suggestion here. What skill would you prioritize?

I prioritized Hundred Spears and I was kinda poor on that server yet my equips did the trick and I owned for quite a while.

Equips are GMG then EOHH/rideword hat switch for DB headgear. Dark Pinguicula carded Alice Doll is nice too for HS. I wore Ur's Set to boost HS damage and still get a nice HP boost and lv 1 auto guard is nice too. Gold scaraba cards for accessories. Occasional switch to horong / smokie when needed. Cranial on shield ofc. Valk shield or Immune shield is ok. Rosa is decent if you can't afford the two

I forgot my exact stats but I had max VIT for more survivability and DB damage. STR and LUK were equal (I found I had less damage but more HIT and more mandragora howling resistance). DEX was average (I think 80 or 90 I forgot) and leftover was put in INT.

For your weapon use MACE when DB-ing so it doesnt break. 4 hunter fly or 4 fabre cards were my favorite. For HS use assaulter or glorious spear.

Oh and I disagree, VIT is better than INT for DB.
