Well, that was just a suggestion. It's not mandatory, but most people would recommended placing your Bonus Points on AP. If you're the type that doesn't care about optimum power, then you may place your Bonus Points anywhere else. If you want to attack faster, place them in DX. If you prefer a higher critical rate, add them to LK. If you want more items, add them to WT. My suggestion is to stay with AP and buy pets or compound equipments if you need bonus points anywhere else.

If you want to level the fastest, place all Bonus Points on AP and get any equipment that adds/compounds AP.

I'm currently following the recommended jwiki build for Mob Buffalo, but, I am curious to know if it's alright to learn Lacerator before Piercing Wave. I know it's only a recommended build, and that I can switch skills around to fit my own preference, but I just wanted to know if there are any specific reasons I would want to hold out on Lacerator now and save up points for Piercing Wave.

[CujoEX]

Sure, you can learn Lacerator first. The thing is, a lot of people doesn't find Lacerator that useful; and in higher levels, I see people using Piercing Wave a lot more than Lacerator. Other than that, even though Lacerator is an Line of Effect (LoE/AoE) skill, it's hard to pull off, while Piercing Strike does more damage, making it easier to kill one enemy at a time.

Long long time ago I create a 4114 Full AP buffalo, before the seconds job where implemented, following the shinobi path that you u mentioned in this guide but when I reached base lvl 50 I stopped playing iTO.
Now, some weeks ago i reinstalled the game and i would like to know if i should keep raising my skill to get Shinobi combo ( I think that now is called Blazing strike), continue using all my Bonus point to AP or put them into Dex in order to increase the strikes of Shinobi combo?

[CujoEX]

As I said a few posts before this, place all Bonus Points on AP to reach optimum damage to help you level the fastest. If you want DX, then compound them.

Hello I am a lvl 109 buffalo and I have a qustion:

I mastered Lacerator but like says CujoEx I don't find this skill really usefull: It only do a few more damage than shockwave mastered and its really hard to hit more than 1 ennemy and the mana coast is really high for my low MPs.

Well in fact I use only Lacerator for bossing cause of the high damages it does and now I am TM lvl 85 I wonder if Piercing Wave is a good skill or not.

Until now I followed the mob leading build but I use only Shokwave and Burning Rave and its ok to level. If Piercing Wave isn't that good i could save some points to 3rd job. And i think is it not necessary to master Lacerator just let him to level 10 to get Tidal Slash seams to be a better choice in my opinion.

Piercing Wave is pretty useful, I assume. I'm training at BugBears with my Raccoon and I see a lot of Buffaloes use Piercing Wave to catch the monster's attention. If it doesn't die in one hit, they finish it off with Shockwave and/or Burning Rave. I have yet to see any Buffaloes regret having that skill.

Umm .. wrong forum. Try posting in the Technical Issues Help Forum.

[thorgal]

ok thanks CujoEx i will take it!

[bigbeef]

do buffalos need dp?

[CujoEX]

Every class would want DP to lower any physical damage inflicted towards them. It lesses the cost of HP potion consumption as well, saving you a lot of galder. It's usually recommended staying a 4114 build, especially when it comes to PvP, because they can last longer in battle with more HP and DP. I wouldn't really say its a necessity, but it's highly recommended to most people.

[morning07]

hmm from the guide there are some skills written there *japanese version < does tat mean only japanese trickster online hav this skill?

ohh just one quick question,
what stat to pump vf my bonus attribute IF i prefer lvling solo and possible to kill boss solo? or maybe when vf party i can tank a bit < not a lousy tanker ^^'' i guess

any suggestions?

[CujoEX]

Nah. The thing about Japanese Trickster Online and English Trickster Online is that they have a working combo code and we don't. Certain skills they have can show two or more damage per skill, while English TO shows one big damage. They're the same skills, just slightly different formulas.

I'm not exactly sure what vf is, but if you want to solo, still place your Bonus Points in AP. Placing your Bonus Points anywhere else will just slow you down.

[morning07]

so just pump everyhthing into AP will do right?
and this build for buffalo 4114 < will it cost a lot to lvling? coz i just start so i dun think i can support my pots spamming ^^"'
