User blog:MethodicMockingbird/Vocation Builds

I started this blog mostly to see what kind of builds other users could come up with using various combinations of vocations, skills, and equipment, but it could be expanded to allow for specific class builds with certain stat growth patterns and equipment/pawn configurations.

Basically, here's a brief example:

Paladin/Templar
Mystic Knight vocation

Using Sword or Mace

Magick Shield (Lustrous Greatshield would be a good choice) enchanted with Holy Enchanter, Holy Affinity, Blessed Riposte, or Holy Fortress for a Holy-tiered MK, or enchanted with Dark Enchanter, Dark Affinity, or Abyssal Riposte for a Dark-tiered MK.


 * Sword/Mace Skills: Ones with a nice flair to them, like Downcrack, Ruinous Sigil, Vortex Sigil; or others for more versatile combat.


 * Magick Shield Skills: Mostly defensive skills, like the Holy and Dark ripostes (and Holy Fortress), but you could swap-in an enchant/trance skill for greater versatility if you run with Lustrous Greatshield and a Holy Mace or Sword. Also, Demonswrath or Dark Anguish, if you feel like adding more offense to your repertoire; see Holy Grace for the alternate use of this. Then, of course, there's Holy Furor for end-all-be-all skills.

Armor would probably be more Magick Attack heavy.

Anyways, that's just an outline of a Paladin/Templar build of a Mystic Knight vocation, and mostly just presented to help open discussion of other builds that users have created or imagined.
