  I'm already a master warrior about to become a GM Warrior already got the 20 seals. I have always liked Magic so I have skills in magic and when I found gunner was going to use int and str I figured I would focus on both them. I focus on getting to GM warrior before doing much anything else and now that I am there I am not sure what to focus on.

  I though I should try to add at least one thing for alchemy as I can use it with the shield when I have melee going on.
  
  Not sure if I should dive in to Lance for Str.
  Weapons? Dual Broadswords, Mace and shield, one of each type of wand,(2 for fire, one for fireball and the other for firebolts.) and a staff...
  
  I have a wooden lance; however, I just can't seem to get into it.
  
  I have done very little in Fighter and Puppetry...
  
  My current stats at lv 111 are:
  HP 496 (245?[that doesn't seem right])
  MP 512 (398)
  Stamina 441(397)
  Str 496(386)
  Int 555(475)
  Dex 179 (208)
  Will246(206
  Luck 93 (38)
  
  MapleStory the rush is the current titles.
  
  I don't really focus that much on enchants yet. Normally use throw away gear for most things.
  
  I didn't list all skills the ones I didn't there is a good chance they are sitting at RF.
  
  So where do you all think I should go now with this character? I have a few tell me Thunder gets pretty good; however, I feel like I really need to focus on the Int stat when ranking magic related skills.
  I also feel like Fireball is high enough with CP that follows it along with the AP needs.
  
  (Also first post here... If I did something wrong or could do better, please let me know. I do lurk on these board though...)

  make everything r1.

  Make Everything R1?
  All melee and combat or..? Though would be tons of AP and would get my CP up higher then I would like.
• Kyishi wrote on 2014-05-21 22:39
  Ok I read your post. This isn't 2009 don't use weapon+shield. -CP gear exists. My cp has never been a huge problem for me. Str skills all the waaaaay

  So I shouldn't try to utilize the guard cylinder then? I though the alchemy skills could help in my combat skills. So no weapon or shield, so why shouldn't one have a shield when equip with a wand? I know those books can be helpful but I rarely see a why to repair them.
  
  So keep focusing on the skills that grant str. (Lance are the ones that are coming to mind.) What number should I be aiming for in Str? With that in mind before I really get into guns what should my int and str be at?
  
  What would recommend Lance or Dual Wielding? (Keeping reforges and enchants out of this for now. upgrades are fine, but not more then one stone as I don't want to break my gear as that gets a little costly.)
  
  I do thank you and appreciate your input.

  1. please don't use alchemy
  2. get all the str you can until you're stuck at the tedious skills like magic craft/engineering etc
  3. please don't use gunner
  4. lance is better for the long run (use Secret/Penetrating ES for that) but if you're only doing basic~HM shadow missions to level then sticking with swords wouldn't be an issue

  You are nowhere near done with melee. Try to accumulate all the str you can before you decide to branch out to other skill sets.

  I think you should lvl the skills that give ate. You still have charge, final bit, and more to do :D
  
  Also lance sounds fun. More str xD
  Like lance charge, AR, and etc they all give star. Lance I think will be a huge powerful for you in terms of str
• Gaby5011 wrote on 2014-05-22 11:14
  My opinion is like the others'. Finish str skills first, then I'd magic if I was you.

  I do want to say thank you to everyone for their input.
  I have Lance Mastery and Charge at R1 and got Lance counter to R8 or 9 enough to become a master in the lance talent.
  Also worked on FH to R4 at this time.
