i've decided to make this a full guide on ME/SW and ME-support. i know that nowadays, few people make magnus priests but i want The Monastery section to have complete resources; this is the best i can contribute.

====================================================

1. about this guide
2. why magnus?
3. alt-A
4. alt-S
5. the possibilities
6. equips

1. about this guide

someone from The Circle boards asked about an ME-support priest stat and skill build. initially i just shared my post here, but i decided to edit it and add more content. ^_^

this guide is for those who want to be an ME priest. if u want to be FS, this guide is not for u. if u want to be "kunat" and tank MVPs, this guide is not for u. however, if u want to kill (and tank, possible un) the (demon/undead) MVPs and still be able to support and have the ability to lvl solo, then this is for u. i will not delve into details like where to find the ascetics and all the other basic stuff coz it's all in ~*Lady's Paige*~'s guide. this is for those who r s*ckers for punishment! (but hey, nothing beats the feeling of being MVP /gg)

2. why magnus?

i know, ME is an unpopular choice in priest build nowadays. with Int and Dex being the main stats, it doesn't leave u much HP for survivability. with ME having a lot of pre-requisite skills (most of them crappy), it doesn't leave u much in the way of support skills. but IMO, if u have lvl 10 Heal, Agi and Bless, then u can support. and I don't just want to heal and support, I wanna kill monsters too! so why magnus? i'm not just a healer, i'm a slayer. B)

3. alt-A
ur starting stats should look like this:

str 1
agi 1
vit 9
int 9

dex 1
luk 9

or

str 1
agi 1
vit 1
int 9
dex 9
luk 9


these r the only 2 options that would make optimum distribution of ur stat points. why 9 luk? bcoz in the hexagon thingy when u make a character, that's how they r arranged. and every 10 pts of luk adds 1 to lucky flee. 1 lucky flee is better than none. :P

i'd recommend going with the first one. why? coz at the start, u'd need all the HP u can get. u should only start getting dex after u hit at least 80 int.

for those taking the next step (to being a ME HP, that is), u will be given 100 stat points to allocate upon rebirth, so u can make better use of ur stat points. weee!

now, i'll discuss a few things about the stats u will be getting in relation to ME.

INT:
• every 1 INT adds 1 MATK and 1% to ur max SP
• every 5 INT greatly increases MATK (roughly 15-18% MinMATK and 10-12%MaxMATK) and is considered the "breakpoint" (similar to STR ATK breakpoint being by 10s)
• every 1 INT reduces magic damage by 1 point; similar to how VIT reduces physical damage by 1 point.
• every 6 INT increases SP recovered by 1. INT also increases the efficiency of using SP-restoring items (ie: more SP recovered per 1 INT) SP regen rate doubles when u hit 120 int.

ur main stat, this will determine ur heal power and ME damage, among other things.

DEX:
• every 15 points in DEX reduces cast time by 10% or roughly .67% for every 1 DEX. there is no bonus for dex if u get it in increments of 15.. it just makes it easier to calculate cast time since 15 is a nice rounded number.
• it's also interesting to note, DEX reduces the chance of getting stripped by rogues. current strip formula: 5 + (2 * Strip Skill Level) + [(Rogue DEX-Enemy DEX)/5]

ur next primary stat, u will need an insanely high amount of dex to get that ME out before that safety wall vanishes on u. ME's cast time is 15 seconds. /wah

VIT:
• every 1 VIT adds 1% to max HP
• every 1 VIT reduces physical damage by 1 point, in addition to main (armor) defense reducing damage by percentage.
• VIT, along with LUK, increases resistance and shortens the duration of negative status effects (Poison, Silence and Stun) depending on how high these stats r. 60 vit is the minimum for stun resistance
• VIT increases HP recovery rate and increases the efficiency of using HP-restoring items.

IMO, every class needs at least 30 vit, moreso priests. this is where it gets tough being an ME priest. the sacrifice of HP/def for casting speed.

4. alt-S

nowadays, it is de rigeur to go job 50 as an acolyte. the extra skill points u get by going job 50 can really come in handy since as a priest, u will always fall short of maxing more support skills.

acolyte skills:

Posted Image divine protection 5
Posted Image blessing 10
Posted Image heal 10
Posted Image increase agi 10
Posted Image pneuma 1
Posted Image ruwach 1
Posted Image teleport 2
Posted Image warp 4
Posted Imageaqua benedicta 1 (pre-req for aspersio) = 44 skills
Posted Image *angelus 5 (4 if u get decrease agi 1)
Posted Image *decrease agi 1 = 49 skills

*if u go the extra mile (and the extra 5 skill points), u can choose to get:
angelus 5 - since u'll probably have around 50+ vit tops, this won't do much for u. the tiny defense boost isn't worth the long wait IMO
decrease agi 1 - this is more useful for WOE/PVP. it's definitely worth a skill point. i'd recommend getting lvl 1 dec agi and angelus 4.

Posted Image

moving on to priesthood, the whole ME tree consists of 36 pre-requisite priest skills:

Posted Image status recovery 1
Posted Image sp recovery 4
Posted Image resu 1
Posted Image lex divina 5
Posted Image lex aeterna 1
Posted Image TU 3
Posted Image impo 3
Posted Image aspersio 4
Posted Image sanc 3
Posted Image safety wall 1

Posted ImageME 10 = 36 skills

this leaves u with 13 more skills. now here is where u will decide what u want to be able to do.

*for high priests, after getting ME 10, u will have 33 more skills to allot.

5. the possibilities

MVP ME-support (SW-ME)
if u wanna go the whole MVP route, u can max safety wall and put the 4 remaining skills to maxing resu and getting magni 1

magni 1
status recovery 1
sp recovery 4
resu 4
lex divina 5
lex aeterna 1
TU 3
impo 3
aspersio 4
sanc 3
safety wall 10
ME 10 = 49 skills

WOE ME-support
if u want more WOE functionality, u can get sanc 7, magni 3 and have the option to get resu 4

magni 3
status recovery 1
sp recovery 4
resu 4
lex divina 5
lex aeterna 1
TU 3
impo 3
aspersio 4
sanc 7
safety wall 1
ME 10 = 46 skills

*u can put the 3 remaining skills in suffra for more support skills. or, go job 50 as an acolyte and get angelus 5 then put the 3 remaining skill points as a priest to get angelus 8.

PVP/PVM ME-support
for more partying possibilities, u can get resu 4, magni 3, kyrie 4 and gloria 1 with 2 more skill points to spare.

magni 3
status recovery 1
sp recovery 4
resu 4
lex divina 5
lex aeterna 1
TU 3
impo 3
aspersio 4
sanc 3
safety wall 1
ME 10
KE 4
gloria 1 = 47 skills

*if u went job 50 as an aco, u most probably put ur 5 spare skill points in angelus. these 2 more skill points from priesthood would make that angelus 7. or angelus 6, if u decide to drop a point in decrease agi, a more useful skill for WOE/PVP.

these were the skill builds i had in mind if i ever remade my priest again(nah.. that'll take ages.) i'm not in any way saying this should be a template or something; make a skill-build that would suit ur way of playing.

keep in mind too that u won't necessarily get these skills in that order kse magagamit mo lng efficiently ung magnus kapag mejo mtaas-taas na un dex mo. i suggest unahin mo un support skills pra mas mbilis ka mag-lvl up.

stats-wise, i calculated it in such a way that with the right equips, i can hit 105 dex (if on MVP-mode), hit the 2268 heal and have over 8.3-8.8k hp. that is with:

int 99 (old school priest preference)
dex 80
vit 50

add or subtract to suit ur tastes. u can lessen the int and put more in vit (or dex) but that would lessen the ME damage.

====

ME-WoE High Priest (my build ^_^)

Posted Image

i'm lvling my high acolyte now, 60/43 atm. my final stats for her will be:

120 total dex (bless+gears, coz 99ing a single stat is a waste of stat points)
80ish total vit (higher than average vit bcoz of WoE and MVP survivability)
102 total int (102 for the matk bonus and sp regen bonus)


Posted Image

^ simot sarap un stats nyan. ung extra nilagay ko na sa str for extra weight, pandala ng white slims. btw, may lvl 10 blessing yan kya ganyan ung bonuses.

====

6. equips

these were what i used b4. it's up to u really, what u want to use and what would be beneficial for ur build. suggestions lng to

quad vital rod (400 hp > 4 dex)
quad dex rod (mas need ko to ngaun kse mas mdami nmn hp ng High Priest and i need to reach 120 dex)
2 nimble gloves
phen clip (clip pra mas mdali ang switching)
2 celebrant's mittens (i often used these nung palvl from 70-80s)
2 necklace of spores (pag siege)
+8-10 hard saints robe (mas preferable than pecopeco kse d gnun kataas ang vit mo)
+8-10 green shoes (preferable over verit kse mas ok ung more HP, besides 99 ung int so SP is aplenty)
+8-10 cranial/khalitz/brutal/gargantua bucklers
+8-10 immune muffler
+8 AoA (preferable tlga ang overupped since wla def ang aoa, however, this is not my final headgear) /gg
+8 erudite circlet/spiky band/monk hat (pag palvl mode)

with the advent of new cards, here r more suggestions for ur equips:
+8-10 succubus armor (+1k hp, vit -4 nga lng and -20% natural hp recov.. but i think mas mlaki pa rin dagdag nun sa pupa-carded armor.
+8-10 incubus headgear (+150 sp, -3 int, -20% int natural int recov.. the - int part sux but combined with the succubus armor = vit+4, int +4, +30 hp/sp recovery.. negated na rin ung fanet na effects.)


other possible accessories, depende na sa zeny mo pero e2 ang accessories na gus2 ko /heh just mix n match. and with the coming of the lighthalzen patch, more choices pa kse there will be a lot of new stuff, like armor sets, new gears, etc.

here r my equips; the dex gear (2 nimble gloves and aoa r not yet included. bibili pa lng ako. /sob )

i hope this has been of help somehow.

note: though this is far from finished, i kinda updated it.. the added text is italized and in blue. pag HP na c anikka, maybe i'll get around to polishing it more. ^_^

oops sori if delayed ang reply ko regarding this issue.. xado kc busy and mejo nwala sa isip ko.. hihi

according from some reliable sources ME is effective against players equiped w/GR cards. if a player isn't equiped with the said boss card, ME will just be useless or will not take into effect. with regards to its damage.. ME can damage it by 100%(compared to neutral attacks that can only damage it by 25%)
