Hi, I know there's a Hero guide but I'm using a mule for leeching at cpq 1 and I plan to remain lvl 50 for the long run. For the best DPS I need help as to where I should put SP untill lvl 50 Thanks!
Max out rage by level 50, this can help you take down rombots and the other mobs faster. You basically max everything and put nothing into final attack, so you should have about 27 leftover sp to put into anything you want. I would suggest going one handed with a good diao chan sword+maple shield and all the other usual equips cpq1 leech sellers have.
Basically I have 61 SP by lvl 50, so should I maximize Sword Mastery (20), Rage (20), Sword Booster (20)? it leaves Power Guard with 1 SP left. Thoughts?
You can max power guard too if you want, but those 3 that you mentioned are the priority by lvl 50. But since you're going to be a cpq1 mule I don't see any point in maxing power guard.
19 to Sword Mastery 20 to Rage At least 6 to booster Rest of the SP up to you, either max Booster or add something else
It should be noted that you can use attack boosting potions before entering (like energizer which gives +25 attack for 30 mins.) I don't mind the extra cost, but you should have rage in your back pocket in case you don't wish to pop a pot every ~2 rounds (and most will probably agree it's unnecessary.)
The event that just passed (Chinese New Year) allowed people to stock up on them for pretty cheap, so it's not hard to find them for about 1m right now. You may see them increase to ~1.5m in time.
There is the Hero Guide which is old, but there is some relevant information there. If you are just making a CPQ mule, then you should pump all your AP into str. If you are making an actual Hero, then you should consider going dexless or low dex. There are many available options to boost your accuracy as a warrior (ZHelm/Scar Helm, dex bathrobe, etc).
