Enchanter Help: Noob In Need!!

With the lvl260 skills out(Limit break/Enchant lv3), AA now outdamages Mblade although im not sure on this since there some irregularities on iruna like those who spam 100k+ mblade..... But theres no build that is actually better than the other, its more of a preference.

Ill only answer #1 since most of your questions can be answered of existing threads

Here's a comparison of the different builds:

Magic Blade
Pros:
Fantastic tank. On par with Paladin(Aggro management+survivability)
Easy to solo with
Good without expensive gear(out damages AA if both have bad/average gear)
Easy to level
Cons:
DPS potential just isn't there
People get confused with Enchanters tanking

AA Build
Pros:
Great fast soloer
Flashy
High damage
High Survivability
Easy Leveling(at least definitely with gear lol)
Cons:
Expensive
Expensive
Expensive
Does horrible without good gear
Aggro management isn't as great(you are more of a DPS instead of a tank)
Expensive

Hybrid Build
Pros:
Can fall back on Magic Blade spam somewhat when needed
Can solo decently with good tactics
Versatile
Cons:
Very Expensive, as you are gonna want some of both sets of equips for Mblade and AA
Excels at neither AA or Mblade. You will be outclassed by the pure builds in W/E you do
Bad Aggro Management(auto attacks get in the way of Mblade spam)


Here's your questions:
1) A: AA wins on damage by a lot if geared, Mblade wins if not. B: Mblade wins survivability hands down, but AA is good as well. C: Both are great long term, just depends if you want to tank and solo or DPS and solo.

2) Mblade build is INT VIT DEX, DEX being at least 240 by level 220. Auto Build is INT AGI DEX VIT or some variation of that. 256 INT before any other stat is pretty much always the best route to go on any Mage that isn't a Monk.

3) There's tons of different AA gear and different elemental setups so I'm not gonna go into that as I don't know the most about it. Mblade best DPS set is something like this:

Sauro Astel or Dia Espada with Kaiser 2
Reckless Tarna/Isurugi/Mezza/Ushilith(pick whichever)
Heinrich Mail UP Moldus
Special Equip Slot with Mezza
Requires -1 sec skill delay from other sources(Cheltil Al Crysta, QC Abilities, Maelriel Al crysta)

Best Tank Set(for maximum survivability):
Wound Trance HP 20%
Ideasol HP 20%(Unless Fire Boss)
Dragon Mail UP HP 20%
Myrica Wristlet HP 20%(or w/e the Christmas xtal that is 40% HP) or Myrica Wristlet Ns
Again requires same -1 sec skill delay from other sources(see DPS set)
Also I run with a Currone in my Dragon Mail as it just isn't necessary for me to have an HP 20 there anymore(I have 340 VIT so far)

Your current gear is AA gear. Also I would recommend just playing as a normal Wiz/Like a Hwiz until 140 as the Enchanter playstyle does badly until then.

Idk about most but I do about 45k with Magic Blade to Baum Warriors and about 48/49k to Nommars. With opposing Origins obviously. Um...bosses varies a lot but I almost always do 25k+. There's quite a lot of bosses I do 35-40k to. This is also all without Spell Boost. Also I have an FG and my body doesn't have an xtal lol.

 When i had an ench before hand, I played as a counter enchanter so im just trying to change it up.

jniceice1800 I'm not sure of NS or S price. Your best bet is to request someone do the quest to get the weapon for you. They need to be level 230 or higher and will have to be able to kill Death Chils. Here's the quest info so you can give to someone you request to do it:

NPC: Mea in Sateria(NOT Saterica) City
Quest Name: To Collect Al Crystas
Kill These Mobs: Mothball x 50, Solemnity x 50, Death Chils x 1. These are all in the dungeon Death Chils is in.

It's not a 100% chance to get the weapon from the quest but Idk the chances to get the weapon as the first time I did it I got Lumikening Slot lol.

Good luck
