Hey all, you're all wondering how builds work, so here's a thread that'll probably help you choose YOUR build, along with a few samples to help you get started

Know Your Stats
Stats are a major factor in the game, able to choose life or death for you as you organize them effectively or ineffectively. Here is a breakdown of the Stats, as they are seen:
Primary Stats
These Stats affect you directly, and come in the form of Damage Output
Strength - STR*
Increases Melee Damage
Does NOT increase chance to defend against Melee Attacks
Intellect - INT*
Increases Magic Damage
Does NOT increase chance to defend against Magic Attacks
Dexterity - DEX*
Increases Pierce Damage
Does NOT increase chance to defend against Pierce Attacks
Secondary Stats
These Stats affect you directly and indirectly
Charisma - CHA
Increases Pet Damaging
Increases chance for Baby Special Attack
Stat Rolls
Luck - LUK
Increases chance for Critical Damage
Increases chance to Dodge
Stat Rolls
Other effects we have yet to see
Duration Stats
These Stats affect you directly, in terms of how long you last
Endurance - END**
Increases how much Health you have
Wisdom - WIS***
Increases how much Mana you have
* These stats follow these formulae, differing based on how many points you have:Stat Points 50 and Under -- ROUND(Stat/5)
Stat Points 150 and Under - ROUND(10+0.1*(Stat-50))
Stat Points 151 and Over -- ROUND(20+.075*(Stat-150))
** Endurance adds an additional 5 Health per point
*** Wisdom adds an additional 10 Mana per point
Choosing Your Stats
Choosing your correct Stats is essential. Choosing the wrong Stats may end up breaking you more than helping you. A simple guide to remember, showing what is at the very least compatible with your characters
SUPER BIG NOTE: These are only important as GUIDELINES for what Stats you should choose. This does not mean you have to become a Hybrid, and that using only ONE Weapon type is acceptable
SUPER BIG NOTE #2: Please note, the below are RECOMMENDED STATS, but furthermore, you DON'T have to Hybridize for maximum potential. A Warrior does NOT have to use Dexterity or Intellect, and can just focus on Strength and another Stat if they so choose. DON'T forget to read the *'s:
Warrior-Based Characters***
STR
DEX*
END**
WIS**
Mage-Based Characters***
INT
DEX*
END**
WIS**
Rogue-Based Characters***
DEX
STR*
END**
WIS**
THIS symbolizes at the very least what you should have for a basic Character. There will be exceptions, of course, but for now, you should focus on this
* These are your Primary and your Secondary, after your first Primary is filled. These are all interchangeable, but you might find that for a Class you seek, any of STR, INT, DEX, CHA, or LUK will go here. For examples, Warriors in DragonLord Class Armour will want to have INT to boost their Magic, and Magi as their Base Class might want to use Daggers, of which also cast their spells
** You will only need a handful of these. There is an exception, however, of which discussed below, but keep in mind that while having 1000 Health might overshadow 25 extra Damage, it's not going to be useful unless you're playing in Hard Mode
*** ONE more thing, if you're starting out a newer Character, you shouldn't have to be worrying about 3-4 different Stats yet. This is the order you should be proceeding in, remember that you should/can choose between 1-3 Secondary Choices:
Primary Choices - (150 - 200 Points)
- Strength
- Intellect
- Dexterity
Secondary Choices - (40 - 145 Points)
- Strength****
- Intellect****
- Dexterity****
- Charisma
- Luck
- Endurance
- Wisdom
**** When choosing one of these, keep in mind it is NOT the same as the Primary Choice you made
Sample Builds
Here are some sample builds to get you started. Just a reminder, you are FREE to rearrange the points if these don't match your expectations EXACTLY. We will be showing level 20 and 60 builds for the first few to show a start-finish build, but level 60 for the last few. The level 20 should generally be the same. Again, mind the *s:

* For level 20 Builds, it means you're supposed to think about which of these to choose for the near future. For level 60 Builds, the 'near future' is now
** This means that if there's two numbers, either is acceptable
*** Hybridical build, meaning you choose another Primary Stat to put the remainder of your points in. It should be based on the secondary Attack Type in your Class choice
**** For level 20 Builds, feasible to make 40, 35 between your Primary and Second Primary Stats as opposed to 75, 0 as suggested
***** Yes, this is the same as Annihilator :P
****** Also a feasible DragonLord Build
******* Feel free to also put END into WIS, or into your Primary
