so i just installed sro again for the first time in about 2 years and was wondering what kind of gap should i be using? im currently lvl 20 with 2k sp and using 3 gap...should i keep it or have a less of a gap

What's your build?

I'd continue with a 3 gap so you don't run short on sp. Although you'll probably need a 4-5 gap for higher levels.

You could always 1-2 gap and then farm at later levels as well.

well the less skills you take, the lower your amount of required sp, the lower your gap. There are a couple of very good build tutorials on this site, so check them out and try to take a build that isn't taking all the skills.

No need to take a fire skill that needs a shield equipped to use, and you are glavie

Hi all,

I've a doubt and I'm not able to post a new topic so here is:
I'm lvl 32 and sometimes (when I do party with magicians) someone tell me "buff warriors"... so,
what's the meaning of this? a magician told me "Physical Defense" but since I'm not an expert and this is my first MMORPG I wonder...

When they say that it means...
1) that I've to attract the attention of the monsters?
2) that I've to protect them from the attacks?
3) both?

Sorry about this but I really want to help my magicians. =)

Best regards and sorry if I'm sooo noob! ;P

I'll let more knowledgable people give you the specifics, but there are skills that the classes have that can raise the defense of the other players.

If you're warrior, they are skills such as protect, pain quota, etc.
If you're a cleric, they are skills such as mental bless, body bless, etc.
In short, "buffing" is giving extra defense or attack to another player through your character's skills.

hope it helps. If you can give a little more information, it would be easier for us to help you.

Thanks for the reply and sorry about the missing data.
I'm a pure str, two handed sword warrior.

I'll try next time to buff my magicians. xD

(BTW, I now understand why they got angry)

One of the basic principles of euro partying is the buffing of other party members. Contrary to chinese builds european builds are able to buff their party members up and that allows to go on higher mobs. Without a good buffing a european party is useless you can as well solo you'll probably have more xp.

For warriors you have a couple of buffs, pain quota, physical fence, magical fence, later other buffs drop in. You can buff 2 players in the party, or you can divide your buffs amongst the magicians, depends of the party. In case of discussion let the party master decide who the buff.

If you are 2 handed sword avoid skills that are knocking down the mobs, the whole party will flame you. You give perhaps more damage but the wizzard spells giving much more damage and having AOE range fizzle and have to reload.

Many thanks to all of you guys for the explanations!
