There are four main classes in Dreadmyst, which can be equipped with different types of weapons and gear to create the strongest and most effective archetypes. This guide will provide you with a list of the five best builds in the game, including both solo and group play, as well as for experienced players and beginners alike.
- Melee STR Cleric Build
- Fire & Ice Hybrid Mage Build
- Ranged DPS Ranger Build
- Tanky Paladin Build
- Standard Healer Cleric Build
Melee STR Cleric Build
This build is all about combining self-heals that provide constant HP regen, allowing for solo clears in dungeons and 1v1 PvP duels, and melee DPS with holy damage. Be sure to equip it with a Crystal set to resist frontline pressure without dying.
| Elements | Items |
|---|---|
| Stats | 30% STR (for heavy armor/melee) 30% WIL 30% INT 10% COU (gear for WIL/COU) |
| Skills | Divine Heal Harrowing Strike Divine Shield |
| Weapons | HQ Maces Shield (Off-hand) |
| Gear | Crystal Armor Berserker/Mutilating Mighty/Titan Dolphin/Unyielding |
Fire & Ice Hybrid Mage Build
Here’s another combo build that uses Fireball nukes for massive single-target and AoE damage that scales with INT/WIL for PvP Arena and PvE clears, and ice AoE that freezes enemies after fire amps. Of course, you have to be aware of your mana spending to create constant pressure.
| Elements | Items |
|---|---|
| Stats | INT (70%+ for spell damage) WIL (20%, buffs 2:1 INT ratio via skills) |
| Skills | Fireball Frost Nova Mana Shield |
| Weapons | HQ Staves Grimoire (Off-hand) |
| Gear | Spiritsilk Set Witch/Consuming Intuitive/Wisdom Blizzard/Crystalline Magma/Scorching |
Ranged DPS Ranger Build
If you’re looking for the top build to use in PvP, then this ranged DPS build with bows and daggers will satisfy all your needs in Arena. Note that you’ll need a high AGI investment to stay as mobile as possible for dodging and effective backstabbing once you’ve gotten close to your target.
| Elements | Items |
|---|---|
| Stats | STR/AGI (melee/ranged value, crits) COU secondary |
| Skills | Eagle Eye Barrage Backstab |
| Weapons | HQ Bows Daggers (Off-hand) |
| Gear | Leather/Mail hybrids Deadly/Sharpshooter Excellence/Berserker Coyote/Beaver |
Tanky Paladin Build
This tanky build allows you to hold off aggressive attacks effortlessly, even if you’re just a starting player. Actually, Paladin is the most beginner-friendly class in the game, so expect a higher damage output and speed than you would usually from a tank. Of course, if you’re going into the dungeon raids, you’ll definitely need a cleric by your side to heal up.
| Elements | Items |
|---|---|
| Stats | STR (melee/threat) COU (resists/buffs) |
| Skills | Holy Aegis Judgment Consecration |
| Weapons | HQ Shields HQ Swords |
| Gear | Full Crystal Plate Castle/Protective Mighty/Titan Lion/Reliant |
Standard Healer Cleric Build
Clerics are super important when going with groups into dungeons, as their heals cannot be replaced by any other class in the game, no matter how buffed or strongly protected they are. This build isn’t sustainable in solo play, but when it comes to groups, you won’t find a more sought-after archetype than this one. In PvP, this Cleric becomes almost invincible and very hard to kill due to constant regen and resurrection skills.
| Elements | Items |
|---|---|
| Stats | WIL/INT (heals/meditate) COU secondary STR for hybrid viability |
| Skills | Renew Sanctuary Resurrection |
| Weapons | HQ Staves Relic (Off-hand) |
| Gear | Spiritsilk Cloth Dolphin/Unyielding Nightfall/Twisted |
