Making a Functional Savant PVP Build: Any Suggestions?

So… one of my accounts in AO is a Savant, with a main focus on Weapons and investment into Vitality and Magic (no fighting, though I may decide to change that by brewing up an Interchange potion(holding onto an Acrimony for that)). His magic type is fire, and he has three main weapons: a sword, a musket, and dual pistols.

So far, I have two Armor builds set up for him; a maxxed regen build (really handy for the Dark Seas, I’ve lost count of the number of times the accelerated health regen has saved my bacon out there), and a mobility/aquatic build for exploring underwater locations and whatnot. However, I’d like to add a third build to that list; one meant for PvP.

Is there any advice you can give me for how I should design my armor loadout so that I can fare reasonably well in basic PvP?

Just reset the file with an acrimony man :fr:

it’s already joever

But then what stats should I invest in after using the acrimony?

typically the best savant spread looks like this:

you can technically put the extra 10 anywhere but I prefer magic to keep things organized, if you put it in vitality you do get extra health, but in the future that will be removed so it’s safer to just stick to these 3 stats.

actually, I think 60 weapons unlocks like a few niche skills on some higher grade weapons so if you want to experiment with that then go ahead

ok listen to me clearly

40 vitality, 140 magic, 100 weapons
or 130 weapons, 110 magic, 40 vit

ive got lots of savants. id say stick with your current build if you like it, as for gear, it seems like you have some all round weapons so its really just your preference. energy regen jewls will prob be best though.

want more size then go size want more speed go speed. Right now i would reccomend getting a cheap build of power and defense (titanium and some power equipment with some basic enchants), and from there determine what feel you need after fighting people

okay so for savant i dont have the best tips considering my stat allocation looks like this, also late reply i know but still

i priorized getting shot, tier 2 weapon skills on both first and second skill on old weapon, over magic as beam feel redundant when you have 50/50 shot already as a cqc savant, though i still struggle against speed mages

sp first of all, maybe dont do vitality, not only are you sacrificing points for strength, but you’re also sacirificing damage output, also you should really use a mobility weapon like claws or dagger for spiraling fury, for the other weapons its really up to you, personally i run this

for actual stat builds however it depends per region but choose something you are comfortable with, so long as you have atleast 80 power and 700 defense preferably, just make sure if you plan on using a slower fighting style like basic, or sailor, use atleast 150 attack speed so you can actually use shockwave smash

overall just adjust your build and set to fit your own playstyle, whether it be agressive or range

maybe first skill ravenna sword actually
Yeah, you can use flash strike and whirlwind, not bad (not exactly good though)

ravenna sword has lower size iirc than keraxe sword, use that instead

Yeah I just meant that general tier
60w for first skill
It also applies to Ravenna/keraxe shield but everyone’s gonna use the war shield so whatever
