Vicious Summoner FAQ: Beast or Libido

Its all about preference.
:: Libido Advantages ::
Tarantula will help you kill things really fast, even in middle levels like 60-70
Tarantula helps in PVP, while you rape the enemy shield with your sword, it eats the enemy HP.
Aldebaran has the highest stun ratio, so the enemy cant run or attack, and high level aldebaran has a pretty decent damage and HP.
:: Beast Advantages ::
I always forget the bird name lolz….what ever
The bird has a high chance to slow the enemy, its good for both staff and sword summoners.
As it prevents you from getting hit very often. (still aldebaran stun/damage/hp is better)
Bregon has the highest damage of all pets, and it reduces the enemy defense, although even -100 to enemy defense i dont think its much difference at higher levels.
Still Bregon has the damage.
:: Do not rely on pets ::
Sometimes they are DUMB and let you in danger, specially in PVP.
If you are fighting more than 1 enemy, the pet will change targets often, so you will be vulnerable.
:: Twin swords or Staff ::
Again, its all matter of preference.
The summoner does not have much defense, thats why most of high level people go staff.
Because its ranged.
They are trying to avoid to fight melee against Knights and Bagi, because they would lose for sure.
BUT twin summoners have better damage for the following reasons :
1. Most of high level skills, sword skills have better damage.
2. POISON/MAGIC SKILLS damage receive LITTLE TO NONE damage from SPiRit.
3. PHYSICAL SKILLS are STRONGLY AFFECTED BY STRenght.
:: Stats ::
You will need STR, SPR and HEAL for twin, SPR and HEAL for staff.
DEX IS CRAP, REASONS :
1. Attack Rating does not work shit, even with low attack rate, your skills will be less blocked/guarded than Segnale skills.
That is because, guard/block chance, depends a lot more on the weapon you are using.
Whips are the most blocked/guarded weapon….and segnale has the SECOND HIGHEST ATTACK RATING OF THE GAME
Twin swords are the second, even with low AR, we are less blocked than segnale…ask segnale and she will tell you how much she is blocked by enemies.
2. Normal Attacks/Skills NEVER MISS
You can be blocked/guarded…but you never miss an attack.
3. It is TRUTH that dex raises BLOCK/GUARD chance, but very little.
You would have to have 200+ dex to be a noticeable difference.
Trust me, this game have NOT CHANGED ANYTHING from closed beta to open beta.
The only difference is that, now we can buy mounts from npc.
IF YOU PUT DEX, YOU WONT HAVE ENOUGH POINTS FOR STRENGHT, SPIRIT AND HEALTH
Trust me, ALL CLASSES NEED HEALTH for both pvp and pve.
PVP = more health
PVE = less health, but still need it.
(TWIN) And you need STR because:
You need to do ENOUGH DAMAGE for your enemy be KNOCKED BACK.
If you dont have enough STR or a decent weapon, your enemy wont be knocked back.
NO KNOCKBACK = ENEMY LIVES, YOU DIE!
(TWIN) You need SPR only for weapon requirements.
SPR do NOT increase the damage of summoner skills.
All skills writen POISON, although they are ‘magic’, they are not MAGIC DAMAGE and they are considered POISON DAMAGE.
For example the skill, Evolt shot….
In order to increase its damage, you will need:
-POISON DAMAGE RINGS
-POISON DAMAGE SKULLS IN A SLOTTED WEAPON
-POISON DAMAGE AMULET
-POISON DAMAGE MAGIC/NOBLE/DIVINE/SET EQUIPMENT
-RAISE THE SKILL LEVEL OF THE SKILL, in this case EVOLT SHOT.
Only the skills that have ‘magic damage’ in the skill description, are affected by SPR
If its written POISON, its not affected by SPR, or anything related to magic damage(weapon/jewelry) etc.
(STAFF) Although staff summoners will have higher SPR of course because :
-Staff has higher SPR requirements than SWORD…very obvious.
-You need more MP
ALSO, SPR probably affect the damage from Summon Ghost, Hell Cosmo and Blood Bats.
:: Skills ::
This is really obvious.
Max out the skills you need, to grind your ass to get cosmos.
When you have the level for cosmos skills….RESET.
And max out the strongest skills.
Although the MMOSITE SKILL CHART is a little wrong, it should help you choose your skills.
:: Other ::
If you dont believe me, dont do this, go on your own or read someone elses thread or whatever.
Summoner is a very dynamic class that can adapt to different enemies, its all about strategy.
I will ignore flame.
If you dont like the thread just dont read it anymore.
:: Summoners SUCK at high level? ::
Its not that summoners suck. Its that other classes get better.
Summoners develop fast, because they have access to good skills in lower levels, while other classes develop slower, but they have access to EVEN BETTER skills at higher levels.
Considering both you and your enemy are high level :
-It is obvious you dont want to fight melee against Bagi or Knight.
-It is obvious you dont want to fight in range against Incar or Huntress.
Thats why its all about strategy.
Most of your job will be running/kiting while your pet does the dirty work, then you get in to do your strongest skill…rinse and repeat until your enemy is dead.
:: In lower levels ::
You will probably win most fights, because your pets are too strong against low level players, and because your sword skills are fast, and staff skill poison/slow.
