My guide on Spearmans, Stats Points, Skills, Training Spots, ETC
~~~~~~~~~~~~~-------------------------------~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: No info on 3rd Class (Dragon Knight)

So you've decided to become a Spearman, eh? There are some things that you should know.


Quote:
Advantages:

* Uses spears and polearms
* Polearms have a stronger slash
* Spears have a stronger stab
* Weapons have long reach
* Fancy 3rd job skills
* Strongest raw attack
* Many multi-hit moves in 3rd job
* Hyper Body allows them to have much more HP and MP
* Since advancing to Spearman gives you more MP, they have the most MP out of all the warriors


Disadvantages:

* Spears and Polearms are slow
* Spears do less damage when slashing
* Polearms do less damage when stabbing
* Hardest class to use
* Very big range between minimum and maximum damage
* Lower defense than Page and Fighter because they have no Power Guard  



Quote:
Spears
Pros- Slightly faster attack when you stab,
and more damage when you stab
----Cons-
Spears at level 50+ = expensive
Slash damage= weak

Polearms:
Pros: Strong slash damage,
prices of polearms slightly less expensive
Cons
weak at stab  


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now that that's done, let's talk about the basics

~~~~~~~~Skills of the Warrior~~~~~~~

Order of what you should get**


Quote:
1. HP Recovery: 5
2. Improving Max HP Increase: 10
3. Slash Blast or Power Strike: 10
4. Save 10 points*
5. Slash Blast or Power Strike: 20 (MAX)
6. Slash Blast or Power Strike: 10
7. Save 10 points*
8. Slash Blast or Power Strike: 20 (MAX)
9. Endure: 3
10. Iron Body: 3  


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now, let's talk about Spearmans.
Spearmans are overall strong and flexible, with skills that are really helpful in parties

Your Stats Distribution should go somewhere along these lines; if your a 4/4 build
Remember: Dex= Important


Quote:
Stat Build (In increments of every 5 levels, starting from level 10)[%3]

Level 10: 40 Str, 22 Dex
Level 15: 55 Str, 32 Dex
Level 20: 70 Str, 42 Dex
Level 25: 85 Str, 52 Dex
Level 30: 100 Str, 62 Dex
Level 35: 120 Str, 67 Dex
Level 40: 140 Str, 72 Dex
Level 45: 160 Str, 77 Dex
Level 50: 180 Str, 82 Dex
Level 55: 200 Str, 87 Dex
Level 60: 220 Str, 92 Dex
Level 65: 240 Str, 97 Dex
Level 70: 262 Str, 100 Dex  



From levels 10-30, your DEX should be 2X your level and REST in Str
From levels 30-70, your points should go into 4 str, 1 dex per level
Or, you can cap your DEX At 80 and dump everything else into Str
(Having 100 DEX let's you hit like everything you ever need)

Hybrid Spearman

Hybrid Spearman consists of maxing Both Spear AND Pole arm (Halberd) Mastery to maximize the potential of the Third Job Advancement (Dragon Knight) for spearman. There are 2 moves that the Dragon Knight will be using whether they are going hybrid or not. They are Dragon Buster and Dragon Thrasher (fury). Buster when maxed attacks up to 3 monsters 3 times with a 170% multiplier. Buster however ALWAYS stabs. While Thrasher (fury) attacks up to 6 enemies ONCE with a 250% damage multiplier AND always slashes. Buster ALWAYS Stabs while Thrasher (fury) ALWAYS slashes. Since Spears are stronger in Stab and Pole arms (Halberds) are stronger in Slash. It would be a good idea to use Buster using Spears and Thrasher (fury) using pole arm (halberds). That is what the 2 masteries are for: to maximize the potential of using Both Spear AND Pole arm in the third job; pole arm for Thrasher (fury) and Spear for Buster. Using Pole arm Buster or Spear Thrasher (fury) wouldn鈥檛 be very good since. Who would want to do less damage o_O.
