Seeing as the reset is pretty much going to happen next week I just want to see what every Iop out there is planning to build.
Having gone from 1-90 with my WIS Iop I have noticed some things that will influence my decisions for my new build.
My skills are primarily air at the moment, but I also have my earth and fire skill trained up. Iop's wrath looks like its the one ability the hits the hardest at the moment, but uppercut and gutting gust are the bread and butter abilities every Iop uses. I really don't like flurry due to its animation lag but jabs is pretty good.
One thing I have noticed above all else is that the Iop's biggest issues, both in pve and pvp, is mobility and first strike. If you can't get into range within the first turn you are either dead, in pvp, or your buddies have killed everything already, in pve. To this end I think MP is the single most important thing you can invest in as an Iop. AP is also important but the points cost is just too high to get anything above 1 point. Damage through stats like int, str, cha, and agi, isn't that efficient on a point by point basis and I don't see the need in investing in it. Health is important but with gear and virility there is more than enough HP to get you through 1 round in pvp.
Lastly, another stat I like is initiative. As I said before, first strike is really important and with 150-200 ini you will usually be going first. Still, it is difficult to choose between HP, ini, and lock.
This is what I am thinking for my final build: (for lvl 100)
250p - 2 MP (pretty sure this is the cost, 100 for the first one and 150 for the second)
150p - 1 AP
100p - 50 ini
The end result is an Iop with around 150-200 ini, 250% dmg in my main element (air), 8 AP, and 7 MP.
So realistically I would always start first, get anywhere on the map in a single turn (and still use GG), and do around 400-500 dmg per turn.
Please feel free to post your own builds and discuss each others builds.
