Title: Linker in NT Restricted WOE!...HELP PLS!...
Post by: pepesmith on June 06, 2011, 12:59:48 am

I wanted to join NT Restricted WoE, I'm planning to be a support guy which give me an idea of linker I wish someone can answer some of my questions. I didn't read the fully the linker thread coz they advice MVP gears which I cant used for this type of battle.

1. Is it good idea to have this class in restricted woe?
2. How can I support them as Linker effectively and whats my main role?
3. ES Type skills are for monster exclusive only, how can I defend myself when being attacked?
4. Can you please give some tip about my build and gears?

That class relies on others to protect it or using high jump/running to get away so it doesn't die.  Use status armors to aid in your escape.  Linker is very nice for it support skills but you will probably want another linker set up just so you can reliably link yourself.  Your main role is having them linked and buffed with ka skills as these buffs can make a huge difference.


For gears

Shield: thara frog valk shield
Weapon: combat knife
Head: Beret/poo poo hat/Angeling hat
Garment:raydric/noxious
Armors: status/anti freeze
Shoes: Sleipnir[0]

I forgot that very important aspect about Kaahi I can't share them without being link by another, so I need a partner as well. And how about the stat which aspect should I put? (Max DEX & VIT rest INT) or (Max VIT Average INT & DEX?)

Soul Linkers make a much bigger difference in restricted woe than in regular since every buff and bonus counts.
I've never WoE'd with a dedicated linker, but i sure wish we had one sometimes.

Don't underestimate Ka skills. While you should be wary of their caveats, they are great defenses.
I'd disagree that soul linkers rely on others to survive especially if it's for NT restricted. Kaahi and a decent amount of sp is soooo gooood in restricted woe. With it, you'll last longer than many who are without. Your hp won't measure up to other classes though, so don't expect to be a tank.

Since you mentioned Es skills: Don't focus on fighting back. You could melee with daggers if you're feeling saucy.
But for the most part, leap away. You kaite will let you get back at wizzies.
Combat knife swap if you're close to danger, otherwise, i'd stick with an int rod or magician hat + gentleman cane for sp recovery.

A second linker is a good idea, even if he is idle. It's not just Ka skills though, he also acts as an sp station. 8D!

I am not giving out full builds to what we schemed up unless you're a dedicated member.

But basics I can do, linkers are very useful in both attacking and defending in WoE

Kaite
When linked, they can make even novices useful for penetrating a wall of pre-casts or vice versa for breaking up a wiz attack squad, in fact, lv1 novices are probably most helpful.
Kaite allows the affected user to reflect 2 magical attacks at the damage that they would've received, the reflected dmg cannot be reduced.
By buffing your guild with kaite you will destroy most caster classes if they're not careful, though there are a few counter measures to this strategy which I will not be sharing (pretty intuitive though)

Eske
VERY helpful in WoE castles when defending, due to the nature of the restrictions, giving guardians 300% attack will give the attacking guild hell. Many will get 2 shot by archer guardians.
You also do not need to be linked to use this skill. Although this only works on Guardians, not homunculi or mercenaries

Kaahi
Self explanatory, but you'll want to cast based on the class of your target. Since there are no easy ways to heal SP, some classes would prefer not having lv7 Kaahi while others NEED it.
Although you'll find most classes in restricted using skill based attacks which will not activate Kaahi, but there are other ways of using it.

Links
Many unexplored skills in regular WoE are used in restricted, and many links bring out great potential (seemingly broken, in some cases) to many classes

Kaupe
Fast cast time, good if you have a fast reaction. This helps guild mates or yourself at avoiding nuke skills, you'll find this useful against gunslingers or many trans skills if you're doing trans

Eska
Less use, good for when you have Guardian Archers on towers, most will be taken out by wizards and this combined with Eske and Kaite (on yourself) will be a great annoyance for them

We have theorized a build for Soul Linkers to be effectively offensive, we have the basic gears for them, but have not yet tested (that might change today lol) and I will also not be sharing it :x

To be effective (and not bored) it is good to just log an alt, as 1 SL usually can't accommodate everything. One should be links only while the other uses buffs.

You should always keep other Soul Linkers linked, HWs, clowns and gypsies. Others would be stalkers and sinX. I really don't know about other classes. Like I said, I don't do restricted.

Very helpful tip indeed, I didn't know SL can give that much support in the guild, I was only thinking of giving Kaahi since its potless, and link for some class and the only class I was thinking giving link is Assassin for SB. I'm just starting to study this class and every tip you give are very important so thanks a lot guys...

You'd be surprised how many links are MUCH better than the sin one
