 Lentz?s Stat Guide Clarified
Lentz?s Stat Guide recommends you to go STR 2 times+ more then DEX andNone in Con Ess or Wis if you?re a Healer or Hybrid. This means for theHealer/Hybrid they?ll be an all out tank that will be able to kill at areally good speed. As for Warriors they?ll have to add a bit into Consince they can?t heal themselves. Even as a Healer/Hybrid if you can?tget the items needed to boost your hp/mp/con/ess you can add pointsinto Con/Ess as you please, but doing so only hurts your STR/DEF/AttRate.

Items Needed-

Accessories like Tiger-Eye Ring from Party quest at RC3+ or so thatadds 100Hp/30Mp. Need to obtain as many as possible, but any otheritems that adds a good amount to your Con/Ess will work as well. Laterin the higher levels an trinket that allows you to ?Convert Damage intoHealth? is also a must have.

Weapons that can ?Convert Damage into Health?. The RL/GB level onethat can be obtained from Waye Dyne(Can never spell the name right )that costs all level 2 elixirs and 5 blood essenses has the ?ConvertDamage into Health? mod and also others. When the weapon is refined+2it?ll last you for at least 20 levels.

Clothing the more pockets the better and if there are mods then Hp/Mp is needed most.

Buffs-

Healers/Hybrids - Needs to train their buffs up as high as they canfor extra Hp/Mp or can stop whenever comfortable with their currentHp/Mp.

Warriors - Need to add points into Con and use Cakes, other formsof item buffs, or buffs from Healer/Hybrid to save points for STR andDex.

Example To Show How much of a different STR made..
RL8 100 STR/120 Dex vs Small Brown Bear = 200 or so Damage taken and 8-11% Dealt
RL8 150 STR/100 Dex vs Small Brown Bear = 100 or so Damage taken and 9-17% Dealt
I was missing/dodging about the same with the lowered dex against the Small Brown Bears.

Lentz?s All Str build is basically for grinding LowYellows-Greens/Light Blue which levels the fastest compared to otherbalance/dex Builds because with the STR build you?ll be able to tankand kill at a fast pace, so less time is wasted in Meditation/Running.

With other Balance/Dex Builds killing Oranges-Reds is much easier,but you are unable to tank as well which causes you to lose time spenton running/meditating.

Basically the all STR build is good Healers/Hybrids for solotanking weak monsters and level at a really fast pace because you cannegate damage taken because of your defense/heals and high damageoutput because of your STR/Dex. The STR build works for Warriors aswell, but the lack of heal/buff can only be compensated by the ?ConvertDamage to Health? Mod and item buffs/beg healers can be a pain to get.

----Conclusion-----

-Don?t waste points in Ess and only put min into Con because many items/buffs can give you all the hp/mp needed.
-High STR means High Damage/Defense=Fast Kills/Able to Tank/Lesstime wasted on Meditation and Running, but hard time killing HighYellow+ mobs(meaning mobs that just turned yellow) because you willmiss more often.
-High Dex builds only good for 1 vs 1 fights meaning PvP or a lotof Luring mobs to do 1 vs 1 grinds which means time wasted on luring orMeditation if more then 1 monster attacked you.
-High STR=Faster leveling when Grinding white-light blue mobscompared to High Dex builds=Can kill orange/low red(means about to turnorange) mobs in 1v1.

Also its better for the Healer/Hybrid that is using the all STRbuild to not use Smashing skills because its only a waste of VitalEnergy, and using your clan weapon instead of fist is better because ofthe higher damage.(Except for Bandits of Thieves because Axes have ahigher damage then Spears)

P.S. A Good Idea for all Melee types is to use the early stages ofyour Active skills until you can get the Last ones. Example Wu-Tangshould keep Basic Wu Tang Sword(First Clan Sword Style/Active) untilyou learn Double Shaped Sword or Daluo(Second to Last/Last SwordStyle/Active) because if you kept using basic wu-tang from when youlearned it until you learn Daluo or Double Shaped Sword the level ofBasic Wu-Tang is already at least level 8 which the damage equals toDaluo?s level 5 or 6.

P.S.S. Think I?ve gone from trying to Clarify Lentz?s guide to making my own.

P.S.S.S THIS HEALER/HYBRID BUILD IS FOR SOLO FIGHTERS/BUFFERS notso good pure Healers/Buffers, but if you think running aroundhealing/buffing the whole time and have to rely on others to kill soyou can get exp then do not follow this healer guide. (Possiblity thatHealers that can?t tank later in game is totally rejected from parties)
