3. Advantages of being a Dancer
Great in PvP – Their Fan Dancing skills are great for PvP. They have multiple skills that debuff the enemy with an additional buff to yourself, as well as skills that drain HP and MP, and support your team mates.
Low mp costs and low cool downs – Dancer skills use DOMO gold a relatively small – medium amount of MP per spell (with the exception of higher level advanced skills) which have relative low-medium cooldowns.
AOE’s – Dancers may only have 4 AoE’s in total, spread through both Fan and Different Dances, but the Different Dances skills have low cooldown and MP costs which allows them to be cast quite often.
Work well with other magic classes – If you choose to use mainly Different Dances, having a Magic Class subbed works very well, as they rely mostly on Wisdom to do their damage.
Work well with other physical classes – If you choose to use mainly Fan Dancing, having a Physical/Melee class subbed works very well also, as they relay mostly on Physical Power to do their damage.
Work well in Parties or Solo – Dancers get two AoE skills very early on, and thus make good additions in AoE teams, or even solo if you wish to get exp that way. However if you wish to do that make sure you have a Doctor sub and lots of agility.
4. Disadvantages of being a Dancer
Skill Points – Unfortunately, because there’s so many good DOMO goldskills that Dancers have, they tend to be really short on SP, especially if you want to be both AOE and PvP, or have Equip Fan and Dancewear. I suggest leaning towards either one or the other.
Dancers are Squishy - Dancers have very low physical defense, and their armor doesn’t protect against it either
5. Good builds for Dancer
The most important stats for Dancers are Wisdom, Power, Dexterity, and Agility.
2 Wis: 1 Dex – You get your physical power here from both wisdom and dex (you get phys attack power+ with every stat except dura) The dex helps with the PvP skills and Aoes, and the Wisdom help with both MP problems and boosts Aoe skills. It also works nicely if you have a class DOMO goldsuch as Wizard or Shaman subbed. This build be good for someone who wished to use only Different Dances
2 Power : 1 Wis – This build would work well more with someone who wishes to use only Fan Dancing, but also use some of the Different Dances
1 Power : 2 Wis – This would work well more for someone who wishes to use Different Dances, but still use some of the Fan Dancing skills.
3 Wis (pure) - Wis also adds attack, so you don't need to worry DOMO goldabout having a lack of physical attack. Bonuses to this, is that you have a much higher MP and it regens way way faster. This would work well with a pure Different Dancing build, however, your AoEs would not hit as often from lack of dex.
1 Wis : 1 Power : 1 Dex or Agi – This is one of those more hybrid type builds, if you wish to use a little bit of everything – a jack of all trades. Note that this build doesn’t have a strength in any particular stat.
2 Wis : 1 Agi - Dodge, dodge, dodge! *casts AoE*
Ultimately, it’s up to you what build you want to use. Now, I haven’t tested all these builds so it’s use to your own discretion.
