Hi all!
In MMOs I’ve always played more of a ranged play style as that’s what I love most. Mostly archer like character. However, MO2 isn’t like any other MMO that I’ve played. Archery feels truly like a build that would be tough to run solo and explore the world.
From the videos and gameplay I’ve seen archers tend to be mounted mostly in this game. I can say that I’m not a huge fan of MA, but it doesn’t seem like Foot Archer focused builds are very strong.
I’ve never played a melee character but I’m intrigued by it, though I’m not sure how far in the melee route I should build. Here’s what I anticipate my play style to be:
Mostly solo player but perhaps one day joining a guild. Given my experience with MA and archery, I’m thinking I’d take more of a Melee first , bow as a pull/supplement damage based on the situation. I’d look to be relatively self sufficient in farming mobs for gold and mats and such so I can use the marketplace.
I’ve seen the Human builds being very solid all around. Though the being very “ok” somewhat deters me. I don’t necessarily need to be the best in any particular thing but I wouldn’t mind having a slight advantage in melee. The Thursars I’m reading are very strong foot fighters but the slowness might bother me.
I guess what I’m trying to explore is just a general solid solo friendly build that can be quite versatile while understanding that I will sacrifice in specialization to be able to do multiple things. Also if it's any help.. although I'm thinking Swords for a melee weapon. Not sure if that'd play into any build preferences.
I sure hope I didn’t butcher this and appreciate any thoughts or recommendations! I’m happy to elaborate where I can.
