DEKAN STR BUILD

Str Dekan

They have the 2nd highest melee in the game under the templars.... (maybe higher depending on how blunt master is) Good at both pvp and pve with any job, and you turn into a GIANT FISH!!!

Str knight is a pvp class, having the highest dps out of the 3, and still can pve very well due to high dmg and aoe.

Str sage, is the 2nd best pve class in my opinion. It can definitely hold its own in pvp and is still a good choice as a pvp class with dragon wings - mobi, and impenetrable - pdef.

Sepa is a fun unique build, it makes up for its lower dmg by using elements which helps quite well. Knight is the only good usage for sepa, while sage kinda sucks... nothing really supports sepa build.


Stats

There are many ways to build this, I’ll list the most common here

Full str 

They have the highest melee of the obviously, but the least pdef/hp. This build isn’t for beginners, especially newbies with no gear. This build is gear dependant 

Hybrid Str

This build is the best for beginners. It ranges from giving 1vit per lv till 99 to 3/1, 4/2, 5/3, Its pretty much adding a specific ammount of str each lv. This a build for anyone, offers the most survivability, I pretty much bundle the 3/1 str build with hybrid, its pretty much the same thing…. This simplifies it anyways.

Base Vit

This is a custom build. People will have set number of vit, like 50/100/125/150.. it can be any number. Of course, this build is for people who is already done with the dekan, and knows how much vit they really need.

*No dex is needed at all, just use dex accessory so you dont miss until you reach lv 60 to get wings of solemn death, which with 4, gives 60 dex, which is all the dex you'll pretty much need. If crafting is implemented then go with Artisan Cat's eye / Spinel Ring. which gives str/vit/dex stats.*
Also 2str 2 vit build DOES NOT WORK, its the absolute worst build you can have, anything remotely close to a 2/2 is bad as well no matter what people say IT IS THE WORST BUILD

Skills 

Knight



*Info*

Element/Imbue, lv 1 pretty much on anything i just picked blazing cause it was 1st lol.

Everything is basic, suction and zhen counter, is interchangeable, i just have them even at the moment cause lv 3 suction is what i feel as much as you'll ever need.

You dont really even need dragon skin till at about 50+ where real pvp starts and even then lv 3 is the minimum of what you need, so you can max it later on

Forefoot Swing is not needed till lv 80+ so you can leave that at lv 1.

hp to mp, is useless at low lvs, it starts being useful after lv 50ish, when you get more hp, but at lower lvs u can spam it after buffing to save up on mp pots if needed.

Lv 6-7 

(placed in order of priority) *i put evolve buffs lower because you're not always gonna be in evolve to take advantage of those lv 6/7. while you're always gonna have your normal buffs.*

Evolve
Dragon's Power
Zhen Mastery
Forced Lock
Health Funnel
Fast Shadow
Sudden Death
Lunacy

Sage

Double murder could be use early, replacing suction, hp to mp, blue def and even zhen counter for quicker lving up.

Gear
Armor
High pdef with Hp, while mdd/crit drop is good for pve

WeaponsAs much str as you can get on weapon till the lv 60 unique zhen (cyra sadique) then after that its as much melee as possible.

Option - always max damage drop
*extra weapons* 

(other weapons you can have on you to make you more versatile pretty much endgame stuff, unless you plan to make multiple weapons everytime u lv...)

Max melee + Weapon Attack (you'd be surprised at the damage)

Max Vit + Damage Drop (this is your tanking weapon, the difference between max vit and hp is a 1-2k hp, and vit gives you more dpef, so it is the better choice, Also switch to this weapon when you use forefoot swing for maximum dmg)

*sepa only* Max Melee + Crit, used when opponent is stunned for more damage

Rings

Get some Dex til you have around 50, then rest can be str/vit depending on what you need

*boss drop*

lv 60 Wings of Solem Death (Strength : 15 Vitality : 15 Dexterity : 15)
lv 60 Soul of Gods Beast (Strength : 15 Intelligence : 15 Dexterity : 15 HP : 200) *great for sage)
