Hi Guys... Just wanna share my build with the others.. since i got my free time
In this topic just want to let you know that maybe this isnt the best build out there.. because for me magnus is a very flexible class and really complex and i really.... really like it... because it has a Holy Barrier (Invunerable Skills) that can very helpful to our Party when we do some Guild Wars, sleep Skills, Stun Lock skills, etc.
Magnus Path
There are two types of Path in Magnus ...
Warrior - Infantryman - Phalanx - Magnus (More Def more Block Percentage)
Warrior - Infantryman - Knight - Magnus (More Damage, Standard Defense with Standard Block Percentage)
and For the choose of Path, it really depends what you want. i tried both with and i succeed with both of them .. it depends which type are you :) ...
Main Stat to Raise = VITALITY for (Two Handed Axe Users Path Knight > Magnus) = VITALITY until you stop leveling and then you can change into STRENGHT i Change my Magnus to STRENGHT at level 126.. since i start Dungeon Dates (DD) at that Level.. who needs alot of defense when they doing DD? 90% of the monster is 1 hit by 2 Handed Users I dont recommend to use Phalanx Path to wield Two Handed Axe.. Less Damage also the Block doesnt work if you dont wear any Shield ...
So The Point is ...
Knight Path = Can use Both 1H Axe + Shield and, or Two Handed Axe
Phalanx Path = Only use 1H Sword + Shield Q> Why Phalanx Path use Swords? A> Because low level of Axe Mastery.. you should use Sword... for better damage...
Swords and Axe got the same Amount of P.atk.. the only thing that makes them different is the Job Passives...
(Knight's Path = Higher AXE MASTERY) (Phalanx's Path = Low AXE MASTERY) Q> Will i able to kill someone with Phalanx's Path ... A> Yes, and you will make them annoyed too, because of your Shield keep Blocking. Phalanx's path is suitable to kill jobs like Destroyers, Sword Masters, and All Rogues but a bit hard to kill tanky type like VIT Cardinal, Paladin, Magnus 1H, and the other Shield Users, but who cares.. if its 1 vs 1... 80% you will win !! ... you Got IMBA Stun lock
Choose of Weapon (Since this is my Path... im only giving the Axe Users / Knights Path)
One Handed AXE + Shield
or Two Handed AXE
Q : Why dont we use Sword ??
A : Magnus doesnt have any Sword Speciality not like the Destroyers or Sword Master who got the Rage Burst Skills that increase damage when using SWORDS not AXE ! so we should stick with the AXE since we got the Passive Called "Axe Mortality" that increase Crit Damage by Axe 10% and Critical Rate +60. Q : But Swords Got the Atk Speed Passive Right? the Sword Rapidity A : Its only for the Normal atk :) not the skills... Waste of SP :) ..
Q : How about the Dual Wield Type ??
A : I dont really recommend dual wielding for Magnus since the Dual Wielding Master Maximum Level is only at 5 at lvl 117 .. and at lvl 5.. still got alot of Penalty in the skills if you want to Dual Wield.... i suggest you go with Sword Master, the maximum Dual Wield Mastery is at 10 (Level 132)
with less penalty :)

Q> WOW.. all the skills is pretty similar... can i like use Both Two Handed and One Handed when i get to High Level... so i can change it whenever i want.. 2 handed or 1 handed depends on the war situation... A> Yes you can dude... i am that type :) .. you can max it all of them around lvl 140+ with lvl 15 Double Strike
and the rest is maxed... but i prefer to go with 1 handed since my opponent all power hitter :) ..
For Magnus 1h Equipment... its a Bit hard.. because every Piece armor must have a Strenght Mixed with Vitality.. because we need damage and defense at the same time.... "BALANCED STATUS IS YOUR PRIMARY TARGET HERE" EXAMPLE Like 6k P.atk with 6k P.def or 4k/5k P.atk with 6k is Alright... no need to worry.. you still can kill people with this.. Try to close the gap between P.atk dan Defense..

Q> Why Dont we use the Hidden Blade Set with Tarintus Helmet.. it add some decent damage"
A> Nope.. this is a Balanced build type magnus we need defs and beside we got stun lock.. you can lock the Opponents until they die.. and if you want to use Hidden Blade and T.helmet... you going to lose alot defense..
Okay guys, if theres any mistake in my build.. you can comment below and leave a feedback for me :) ..
This is my Magnus Path... maybe some of the build doesnt suit you.. and one message from me..having imba equipment doesnt mean you're good at war.. we still need friends to be good at war, because theres no such thing as a 1vs1 War Right?..
Teamwork + Tactics = More Chance to win the War :)
Be Patient when playing this Class ... its a good Companion class for you :)
Theres no Such thing as a PERFECT CLASS ! Nobody is Perfect.. :)
