Gypsies is the transcendent class of Dancer. The class, in a nutshell, is usually considered a total junk due to the poor skills given when compared to the ones that a Clown has and the stats from job level bonus looking like the wrong ones that people would want until you actually play one and see that is already quite good and probably even overpowered if you don't use some specific gear. The Gypsy, as the Clown, also can get skills from the opposite gender by being buffed with their correspondent Soul Link.
That actually depends a bit on what you want to focus but it should always be around, at least, VIT and DEX. A stat to take into consideration is AGI but that, as I told before, depends on what you want to do.
Gypsy WoEs are usually seen only doing two jobs:
- Stun by using Scream and/ or uses Tarot into incoming people.
- Debuffing players by doing rushes into the enemy group and using skills like Bragi Level 1 to debuff the Level 10 of the enemy, Assassin Cross of Sunset Level 1 to debuff the Level 10 of the enemy, Apple of Idun Leven 1 to debuff the Level 10 of the enemy and Slow Grace 10 to make the spam be slower since it lowers the enemy ASPD by a lot due to debuff a couple of ASPD buffs.
While a Scream Gypsy can be used for both things, it's not that amazing when compared to a pure Debuffer so we will cover each one separated.
- Scream Gypsy
- There are two ways to be a "Screamer"
- The easy way is achieved by putting your stats should mainly focused into AGI and VIT. VIT should be 97 [unless you want the anti-curse and better Apple of Idun Level 10 with Soul Link from the 100 total VIT] and it's just to evade the stun since the enemy should have one Gypsy doing the same job as you. AGI is to be able to achieve 190 ASPD to spam Scream [yes, it's possible to achieve 190 ASPD with 150 AGI and 1 base DEX at a Gypsy since the DEX bonus are high if you use foods and buffs with a dagger equipped].
- The "I'm also OK being a debuffer/buffer if needed and also uses Tarot Card of Fate". In this case, you should focus on AGI/VIT/DEX, by this order.
- VIT should be 97 [anti-stun but not-anti-curse and to give a bit not so good apples to the enemy NOTE: You can also go 100 VIT, still possible but you're limiting your already not so good stats so this is a bit to try to help with the balancing but you can go that route if you want to buff your team when the clown isn't around].
- It's possible to achieve 190 ASPD with this build too, with a dagger, but the true power of a debuffer/buffer won't be achieved since you've AGI that increased the Assassin Cross Power which may not look like a lot but won't be strong as a pure debuffer and you won't have any decent stats to buff the party aside Apple of Idun because the other stats are just in an OK state.
- If you're doing a lot of Tarot Card of Fate, achieve those 190 ASPD with 149 DEX to spam it fast instead of having a slow cast. This also helps with the Assassin Cross of Sunset Level 1 at the enemy and you may even consider this a pure Tarot Card of Fate Gypsy build but just spamming that won't get you far since the card that appears is random and sometimes luck sucks.
- This build isn't that amazing as a Debuffer Gypsy but has some cool positive points like being able to spam Tarot or Scream according situations always at max ASPD as soon as you're inside a good bragi and a good Assassin Cross of Sunset.
- Debuffer Gypsy
- There is only one way to do this:
- 100 total VIT
- Highest DEX possible in 10s
- There is no way to get wrong with this. Either get 170 or 160 DEX, your choice, but get it. This is a char made to annoy people with Slow Grace Level 10 and nothing else. The high DEX is used to buff Slow Grace effect that debuffs the enemy ASPD since with Poem of Bragi,
after having 149/150 DEX [preference of the players even if 149 DEX is
better because you can cancel the animation of any skill], only ASPD matters to use a skill faster. While the skill also affects players with points put into AGI, we're buffing our Assassin Cross of Sunset Cross.
- Gear
- Both builds use the same gears aside a small change in shield or accessories to be easier to achieve the 190 ASPD in the screamer [like Thorn Shield+Horn of the Buffalo].
- BG SET - it gives +3 dex in total and you can still enchant it aside all those buffs that are amazing.
- Matyr Card, Noxious Card, Horn Card, Smokie Card should always be on! We're using a BG set that gives -10% ranged damage so let's make use of his amazing power and the Smokie Card is a must to have one due to the songs ending putting your char in a lots of wrong spots that you can't, sometimes fast enough, identify and die.
- Combat Knife or any dagger[4] with a Golem Card[to not break] and 3 cards that help you with your build.
- 2 Instruments with a Golem Card[to not break] and 2 other cards to help with your build[yes, Fabre Cards are fine but check first if Drop Card or Female Thief Bug are more helpful and yes, they should be the same to not getting a chance of stats with them] to spam songs faster since swapping weapons cancel the song being used. Try to master this to be able to do songs really fast, like one per 0.5 seconds: song->swap instrument->other song->swap instrument->repeat.
NOTE - in official servers, just get one and swap between the Instrument and the Dagger since swapping Instruments won't cancel the active song.
- If your server has the Yellow Bandana or Yellow Ribbon, get it, it's amazingly good since it reduces ranged damage even further and, do to the way stacking works, it's better than a Feather Beret.
- The rest is a personal choice, you've some freedom on that depending on what you want to do with your char.
- Learn to master your hiding with Smokie, you will need it a lot, specially from Asura Champions [yes, it's possible to hide from 149/150 DEX Champions but it also asks for some pray and luck and it's already quite hard from 140 DEX ones]
- Priority Slow Grace over the other songs, you want first the enemy debuffed, the rest is more of to annoy.
- Never use Tarot Card of Fate at a Debuffer Gypsy unless you've nothing to do, the skill may be spammable but won't be that fast as a proper 190 ASPD 149 DEX one.
- Don't be spam Tarot Card of Fate all the time, even at a proper build for it, the skill sometimes fail and the enemy may notice your spam and swap gears to kill someone and end screwing your team.
- Use Throw Arrow to finish Coma Cards, do not use Arrow Vulcan. Not only the Arrow Vulcan animation is big but it can't be reduced either by anything, unless your server changed it to work with reducible after-cast gear/skills.
Everybody thinks that they suck until they play one or play against one.
