ntroduction:
5PW aka Five Poison Wickman.
A branch under Five Poison sect that manipulates spirit from corpse to fight & protect them.
5PW is more of a peaceful branch than 5PP.
5PW is more of a training class than Combat class among all Sects.
5PW has disadvantage in group battles but they are quite tough when 1 vs 1.
At this point if Pkers think grouping up can bully 5PW, think twice.
A 5PW at Lv6x is capable of carrying 3 Fire kirins with them...
Imagine 5PW grouping up to fight back the Pkers
Objectives of 5PW
Not really an objective but a direction for guideline.
As mentioned by the GM from China, 5PW is a powerful class so long they don't get hit by opponent
(Abit crappy the comment but quite true)
5PW is moving more towards training levels and interaction class.
While training you feel tired, sit down and chat in school channel while pets doing the attack.
5PW is also a helper in mob control.
Meaning to say, they can help to maintain crowd of mobs in tight situation,
not threatening their comrades in party
5PW damage may not be strong but they are able to assist tasks of a WS in HS.
If the HS Boss went loose, 5PW's pets can help out to tank while WS compose themselves again
In terms of war, 5PW have to rely on the MVP bosses which they caught to fight well.
Other than that, a 5PW can bring whatever pets he wants which he feels comfortable with.
Ultimately, a 5PW will try his/her best to get up to 7.4 Evil Soul points.
Reason is the introduction of -stats equipments in future & YCR's Heaven Arm Spear skill scroll, will cause a 5PW to lose his/her Evil Soul point.
With the target of 7.4 Evil Soul points met, 5PW have no worry of such -stats status anymore
Manuals
Beginner Players:
For those newly started or budget build 5PW, advice is to kick off with:
Dark rock - Gives user +25 ext defense when maxed.
Dark rock gives user quite good % modifier on the manual for scrolls effect.
Dark rock manual is a good starter for new players since it is cheap & affordable.
Since 5PW defense is relatively weak, having Dark rock is a good start for training
Intermediate Players:
Golden Cicada - Gives user +dodge which increases your chance of being hit by opponent
Damp Shirt - Useful in Combat with melee attackers eg. SM, WB, BC
Combat Players:
Red Cloud - Shortens all negative status which you may receive from opponent eg. Chaos
Violet Cloud - Enhance and lengthen the pet buffs duration longer
Golden Cicada - Gives you more dodge as mentioned earlier
Damp Shirt - Gives you ability to repel melee attacks from opponents
Asura - Many players do not know this manual purpose.
When Asura gets skill move activated, All skills gain +25% chance to skill move
This helps 5PW to buff pets with higher chance of Skill move activated buffs
Optional Manual for Training:
I'm currently using 5-element scroll, which is good for training.
This is optional till you get your sect manual.
You can choose to read one if you can afford to.
5-element scroll allows player to summon 1 more pet.
A maxed level 5-element scroll gives a character +35 to all stats.
5-element is just optional and extravagant for those who can afford.
Sect Manual
Ultimately, this will be your manual which you be holding onto most of the time.
Recommend level to have this manual will be at late-game where you hit Lv70 or above.
Reason is because at lower levels, you won't be able to go in to HS.
HS party leader normally wants certain classes with base stats for pulling swords.
Wickman isn't that popular in HS unless they are high level or have Str based build.
With Sect Manual, 5PW will be able to solo all the burners alone!
Lower levels 5PW holding Sect Manual is consider as a bonus but isn't really useful
till they hit Lv6x where they can capture God of Spear or Chief Alliance MVP as tally and summon out again.
As for Banshee or Wu Yue Lao Zhu, level requirement is 75 and 82 minimum if i remember correctly.
Effects of Stat points affecting Evil Soul points
Do take note again:
Every 15 AGI = +0.1 Evil soul
Every 50 INT = +0.1 Evil soul
STR do not increase Evil soul at any point of time.
STR only increases your Pet's toughness, damage and defense.
STR increases damage for 5-poison seize blade.
STR increases damage for Cadaver Explosion.
STR increases your weight capacity.
INT on the other hand provides higher Skill move activation for pets skills.
INT provides better Internal defense against other Int damage classes.
INT increases the effect of some supportive skill values.
INT increases the poison damage of all supportive skills.
INT provides higher Mana capacity.
Scroll Effects
In order for Wickman to win battle or training fast, we will definitely need this charm:
Soul Luring Scroll - minus up to 20% enemy's defense.
This is the only scroll for Wickman which is very unique amongst all sects.
The effect is -enemy's defense by 20% upon giving the order to ask pets to attack a target.
Scroll effect requires high EXT atk % on manual in order to be effective.
This scroll is especially deadly for training & PvP.
Scrolls for training
- Soul Lure, Cadaver Explode, Wicked Dim-power, Cadaver Drive.
Scrolls for PvP
- Soul Lure, Wicked Dim-power, 5Poison Blade Art, Cadaver Drive / YinSoul trap.
If you use Poison Seize Blade Art, then don't use Wicked Dimpower.
Reason is because they do not stack poison and only 1 of them will be activated.
Wicked Dimpower is more important as the pet is always after enemy's life.
So it will be a constant poison for enemies in this case.
Builds Suggested by Server
Agi/Str doesn't seem attractive to me initially until i tried doing training.
Agi/Str has better training speed than Agi/Int in whole.
As for Agi/Int, you can relax more and use poison to kill mobs instead.
According to China forums, adding Str helps the pet grow stronger minimally.
In end, they suggested on playing Agi/Vit for those who loves war.
But now, i'm fine with Agi/Str build.
Anyway, i shall continue to explore this build of Agi/Str.
Anyone who has chosen to play Agi/Int, do share with us your experience.
As right now in China, Agi/Int players are able to summon 1 more pet.
Their poison skills are thicker thus able to deal damage over time to opponents in
Combat Arena much effectively than Agi/Str.
And right now, battle mode pots has a rule which favors Agi/Int Wickman greatly.
There is no right or wrong build for Wickman, as the player requires determination and ideas on improving their equipments in order to be stronger.
Other Possible Builds
Other than Agi/Str & Agi/Int, China server players had tried playing 5PW using Agi/Vit.
Due to the release of Sect ultimate skills in future, 5PW can be easily killed in war.
So giving up the toughness of the pets, China 5PW go for Agi/Vit build
Another interesting but not so recommended build would be Agi/Obs 5PW.
As mentioned by me previously in Tang clan section, a dodge character isn't considered as a dodge class if they do not have Agi/Obs maxed.
Agi/Obs build will have higher dodge rate of course... but they gave up both defense and damage. But in combat, they are relatively stronger than Agi/Str build according to a China pro Jx2 player's feedback.
PVP aka Player versus Player
Taking the Pet Combination below as an example:
1) MVP - 3.0 Evil soul (MVPs are considered as Human pets)
2) Fire Kirin - 2.0 Evil soul
3) Fire Kirin - 2.0 Evil soul
This combination purpose is to make use of the MVP to be the main attacker in duel.
Upon entering the battle arena, i buff 2 of the Fire Kirins first with 2 buffs except 3k buff.
When server announces 20 seconds left before battle, cast 3 types of buffs onto the MVP, with the 3k skill as last skill to buff.
Reason is because 3k duration is 30 seconds.
30 seconds is good enough to cause enemy headaches with fast moving pet.
With all 3 buffed up, i press M to mount onto horse 40% speed.
Wickman must always remember 1 simple rule:
You ---- Pet ---- Enemy
IF You ---- Enemy ---- Pet
Use Fleeting movement or run in circles to becomes like this again:
You ---- Pet ---- Enemy
5PW against 5PW
Brothers & Sisters do not fight amongst themselves. So will not probe further on this.
5PW against 5PP
to be continued...
5PW against YCR
I've tried to play duel arena with Antiseptic previously with 5-element without any
Wickman scrolls pasted yet.
Reason for doing so:
- Test water see if Wickman can fight without scrolls. Result is No.
- Test the effect of Maxed AGI's dodge rate. Result is not so effective.
- Train my personal PvP skill versus YCR first, which is Wickman's greatest enemy.
Some tips vs YCR:
Always try to fight in situation which favors you.
- Big Map area
- Trees. Run around trees to prevent them to Wolf Surge you
- Avoid using Fleeting movement as minimum as possible
- Try to run in Zig-zag directions
- When YCR uses Heaven Spear, move away and use 6hit attack skill then run
- Animals with long-range attacks eg. Kirins. Their long range fire will 'pull' YCR
- Use MVP = increases chances of winning in combat & war greatly.
Only tips now would be using the combination of Banshee + 2 x Kirins to fight win a YCR.
The Kirins to cause injured duration on the YCR, the Banshee as the main attacker
5PW against YCA
They have improved scroll effect which allows their arrow to shoot thru enemies.
So in this case, 5PW must never stay too close to your pet but still using the
You ---- Pet ---- Enemy strategy.
They have arrow skills which is capable to deal more damage on undead.
So in this case, we replace the Preserved Soul with 2 x Fire kirins instead.
2 x Kirins is able to cause serious injured duration on YCA.
So from here, you choose fast or slow game which you want to go for.
5PW against WS
Use Insect Creature King or Iron Bettle with Fire Kirin will do.
5PW against WB
Due to WB high dodge, Fire Kirin will not be that effective on WB.
Use fast movement attacking pets will give you better results
5PW against SC
Use purely 3 x Kirins to lock onto them. Try to estimate your timing well so guess when SC is going to use his Sacrificial Art skill. Control & evade your character accordingly.
5PW against SM
Use horse + pets to fight SM. Having a 40% horse means an almost win in every single combat stage
5PW against SZ
SZ are internal damage class so Kirins and Perserved soul damage are weak on them.
Use 2 x Iron Bettle + 1 x Kirin or 3 x Iron Beetle and you will see nice results there
5PW against ES
ES are hard to win if they are Vit based. Their water enables them very fast moving speed.
We need to use same pet combination on SZ to fight with ES.
ES tends to play poison on 5PW so use our pet hp absorbing skill during emergency.
5PW against EZ
Always stay far from them.
Use same pet combination as top or Perserved soul combo.
5PW against TC
Same as SM with fast moving horse, try to avoid close combat with them.
Always stay behind your pets as they seldom use projectiles that can pass-thru mobs.
5PW against BC
Similar to WB tactic.
5PW against BF
We need to stay as far from them as possible.
Use Pet hp absorbing skill when you sense that BF is going to use his locking skill.
Having a 60% speed horse can almost guaranteed a safe win
We must have our sect manual if we ever want to play with this class.
Evil Souls
Many new 5PW has been asking on how to increase or get Evil Souls.
As mentioned earlier, i shall repeat again:
Basic skill maxed gives you = 4.2 Evil Soul
Every 15 Agi = +0.1 Evil Soul
Every 50 Int = +0.1 Evil Soul
When Agi is maxed at 350 at Lv60, total Evil Soul is 6.5
Most players forgo Int stats and plays purely Agi/Str build.
They are able to push their Evil Soul points up by using +stats equipments.
This build goes all out for damage but forgo their own defense..
For new players who started off with nothing, they chosen Agi maxed, Str & Int balanced.
This opens up some room for options where they are not so stressed by needs of +stat equips.
Summoning Pets
5PW can summon their pets based on 3 types of category namely:
Animal, where 2.0 Evil Soul point is required
Human, where 3.0 Evil Soul point is required
Perserved Soul, where 5.0 Evil Soul point is required
Let's say you have 6.0 Evil Soul point.
We summon 3 x rabbits where each rabbit is 2.0 Evil Soul point.
With the 3 x rabbits, you teleport back to town.
You will realised that you left 2 x rabbits at this point of time.
Why is this so ?
Basic requirement to maintain pets is Total Evil Soul + 0.1
Thus, we will need a total of 6.0 + 0.1 = 6.1 Evil Soul point to maintain 3 x rabbits in our possession
*Update*: The Evil + 0.1 requirement will only be calculated if total pets = 7.0 evil soul.
Meaning to say, having 3 x rabbits with 6.0 will not cause any pet to be lost when teleporting back to town.
Ultimate Goal of 5PW
Simply to say, get 7.4 or even 8.4 evil soul with equipments etc.
In this guide, i shall only talk about pets combination using 7.0 Evil Soul point.
Pets Combination
Combo #1: [Slow]
2 x Kirins + 1 x Human Pet
- Strongest Human pet in-game (not counting MVP) is Eastern Wanderer from East Shore 2 map.
They moves slow but once they hit your opponent, they will know what is pain
Combo #2: [Moderate]
2 x Kirins + 1 x Insect Creature King
- Insect creature king travels extremely fast with moderate damage.
This will end your battle quite effectively among most class
Combo #3: [Fast]
2 x Kirins + 1 x Crow
- Crows are low hp animal pet but they travels fast.
So your kamikaze bet is to buff 3k skill on your crow and let enemy kill it.
3k skill for pet effect is auto execute Lv5 Cadaver Explosion when pet dies.
If not, when your pets grinded your opponent till they left 50% hp, explode crow
Combo #4: [Fast & tough]
2 x Kirins + 1 x Golden Beetle
- Golden Beetle is tougher than the bees in peach training map.
They are fast moving insects which has good hp & good interupting speed.
Use this combination when you want to fight certain class like WS.
In general, ultimate aim is to get 2 x animal + 1 x human combo or a 1 x perserved soul + 1 x animal as your pet at late-game.
Make sure you know what you are doing & which sect you are fighting:
Use the correct pet combination to ensure higher winning rate for 5PW.
If opponent is Internal damage dealer, use External damage pet.
If opponent is External damage dealer, use Internal damage pet.
If opponent is a high dodge class, use high accuracy pets.
If opponent is a high hp class, use pets that can move fast & interrupt effectively.
During combat, make sure your opponent is fair against you.
If they have ES buffed them with water beforehand, you will know they confirm win.
Pets Combination for training
There's only 2 best leveling combination right now.
1st is 3 x kirins. They have good damage output compare to 1 ghost but easy to die.
2nd combination would be using our basic Perserved Soul which has extremely high dodge and good area attack damage. Other than kirins, this is the best training pet at the moment.
Equipments
5PW is meant to be a budget build class.
So basically there is nothing wrong in wearing whatever equipments you want.
If you want to stay strong, then you can choose the types of equipments below:
- Auto HP recovery equipments so you save HP pots
- Auto MP recovery equipments so you save MP pots
- Auto HP & MP recovery equipments so you save HP & MP pots
- +HP % equipments
- Medicine effect increase duration equipments
Due to the reason Agi/Str or Agi/Str 5pw having low hp, it is advisable to wear +%hp equips in war.
5PW is consider as an External damage attacker so wearing +ext % attack armor is good for us
As an Agi / Str 5PW, I'm currently wearing these:
13% HP Internal def BM hat +7 upgraded
13% HP Internal def BM pants +7 upgraded
12% ext atk, +17 AGI, +5% HP sect armor +7 upgraded
2 x 11% HPMP male accessory
2 x 10% MP Drain male accessory
2 x +14 STR / +14 AGI / +14 VIT male accessory
Lv70 Sin Heartbroken +6% ext atk, +14 AGI, -9% enemy's defense
Lv9 skill 5-element manual (+30 to all stats)
Things which i am looking forwards to which i think important for 5PW:
Sect manual
Mentor's Sect Hat: +15% skill activation, +15 STR, +15 AGI
Mentor's Sect Pants: Atk causes enemy to -50 AGI, +60 to Int def, +15 AGI
2 x Taixu accessory: +25 to AGI, +4% HP
BM Manager Suit: +8% ext & int attack, +16 to all stats, +5% HP
The mp drain is superbly cheap now (althought i bought before new version )
When i use Poison Seize blade with 20% mp drain, my opponent's MP = 50% left
Since now not many people wearing mp convert, so my 20% mp drain is quite useful against those easy targets which i aimed
5PW in Battlefield
Battlefield playing skill is based on individual player's idea & experience to fight with opponent.
In order to get more kills, 5PW should aim aggressively on those low-hp build classes.
This increase our chance to kill an opponent.
Always adapt the You -- Pet -- Enemy strategy in war.
YinSoul Trap skill scroll is quite important as it helps to shorten the cooldown of the skill and increases your base defense points so you won't die by artiliery 1000 damage while scuking HP from pet
SZ are the classes that always like to aim us.
So make sure 5PW wear Internal defense based equipments so we won't get killed easily.
Use AOE attack mob such as Kirins and Perserved Soul. So we can burn those hilltops humji wannabe to retreat alittle while our main forces seize opportunity to advance further.
Bringing Banshee to war results superior success in killing rate.
With correct equipments and scrolls, Banshee can take down any target easily.
Sect manual is a must have item for 5PW in war, thus advice is to get 1 first.
Avoid your best to stay clear of melee range between you and enemy.
Retreat if required, if opportunity comes in, Poison Seize blade opponent and move back.
While using YinSoul trap skill, you will need to drink a Blue Gaia pot.
Each successful HP regen requires alot of MP.
5PW in Hidden Sword
