Dispel: /* Weapon */

{{Infobox Job|jobName=Dancer|jobBase=Archer|jobType=2-2|changesAt=Comodo|skills=18|skillPoints=91|questSkills=1
|str=2|agi=7|vit=3|int=5|dex=5|luk=8}}

Rhythm and balance are qualities cultivated by all [[Archer]]s, however, only the truly talented are allowed to learn the secret steps of the Dancers. These scantily clad seductresses gain the power to influence the minds of allies and enemies alike.

It is said that time [[Slow_Grace|slows down]] when a Dancer starts to move her hips to the sound of some mysterious tune; that those watching may [[Charming_Wink|lose control]] of their bodies and find their magic reserves either [[Gypsy's_Kiss|greatly improved]] or [[Hip_Shaker|gone altogether]]. Where their male counterparts, the [[Bard]]s, are more bent on support, Dancers specialize at disruptive maneuvers, which make them an invaluable asset in the War of Emperium.

Supporting with a Bard or Dancer requires a different approach than other classes. Music-based buffs are mostly percentual values, as opposed to the absolute values of [[Priest]] buffs, and require careful strategy and positioning, but playing as an [[Archer]] should already provide some experience in this respect. Despite their supportive role, one should not forget that Dancers are also capable of dealing good quantities of damage, one of their main advantages over [[Hunter|Huntresses]] is their immense SP pool which allows them to continually use [[Double Strafe]] instead of normal attacks, ensuring decent damage output.

== General Information ==

To understand how to build a [[Bard]] or Dancer, knowledge of all their skills is needed. Dancer and [[Bard]] skills are, in comparison to other classes, very stat dependent. In general, there are 2 types of skills for both a Dancer and a [[Bard]]; skills which can be sung or danced without a partner of the opposite gender and those where the player needs another [[Bard]] or Dancer respectively.

As a Dancer only whips, daggers and bows are available for weapons, whereas Bards can use instruments instead of whips.

* When armed with a [[Whips|Whip]]:
** Bow skills ([[Double Strafe]], [[Arrow Shower]], [[Arrow Repel]]) cannot be used
** [[Performance Skills]], as well as [[Amp]] and [[Encore]] are available
** Whip skills ([[Slinging Arrow]], [[Arrow Vulcan]]) can be used
** Whip damage depends on the Dancer's [[dex]], NOT [[str]]. Just like it does for [[bow|bows]]
[[Unbarring Octave]], [[Dazzler]], [[Pang Voice]] and [[Charming Wink]] are usable regardless of weapons.

== How to become a Dancer ==
=== Sign up ===

Whenever the player considers herself ready to become a Dancer, she should head to [[Comodo]]. Near the Kafra employee, there will be a male NPC who will grant entrance into the Dancer Quest. Upon heading inside and talking to the NPC to the left, she will ask the player to fulfill one of the following requirements along with the minimum requirement of Job 40 or more on a female [[Archer]].

# 1 Sandals, 10 Black Hair, 20 Jellopy, 5 Yellow Potion, 2 Clam Shell
# 1 Shoes, 20 Sticky Mucus, 3 Jellopy, 5 Red Potion
# 1 Boots , 5 Earthworm Peeling

Once signing up is finished, it is time to head in the opposite direction, to the rightside of the map and talk to that NPC.

=== Quiz ===

The quiz involves a simple Q and A session. Getting 80% correct is required to pass this part of the exam. For reference, the following are the questions that are asked for this section of the exam. (The wording however, may differ)

=== Dance Dance Revolution ===

After answering the questions correctly, the NPC will send the player to Dance on the stage. at this point one should make sure to equip a Bow and some arrows and then head behind the stage to meet another NPC with a Chat window above her with "Waiting Room" as the title. Entering the chatroom will put the player on queue for the trial. The exam is a simple test of movement and quick responses. Hotkeyeing [[Arrow Shower]] or [[Double Strafe]] and [[Improve Concentration]] is suggested. Note: there's a poring at the end that has to be killed with a bow and arrows. Using [[Improve Concentration]] is optional; however, the NPC will ask for it.

The Dancing pattern is as follows.

# Back
# Front
# Left
# Right
# Center
# Pose (just remain on the tile)
# [[Improve Concentration]]
# Left
# Front
# Right
# Pose (just remain on the tile)
# Left, Center, Right, Back
# Right
# Left, Center, Front, Back
# Left, Center, Front, Back
# Front
# Left
# Center
# [[Arrow Shower]] or [[Double Strafe]]

For those future dancers who are having problems with this part of the test: An effective way to pass this exam is to only perform the first and last steps for sequences with more than two steps, rather than hitting all the tiles. i.e. Instead of doing "Left Center Right Back", one simply goes from Left to Back.
=== Job Change ===

Returning to the NPC who did the verbal testing for the job chance to Dancer. Either a 3 slotted Line for Job 50, or a 3 slotted Rope for any job change lower than that are awarded as a gift for changing class.
== Equipments Used ==
This is no where a complete list of equipment that is required or suggested. This list is not based around any mini boss or MvP drops.

=== Upper Headgear ===

Besides the "kawaii" headgear you have taking up almost all of your storage, these are some of the basics that are suggested to have for a Dancer.

* Ramen Hat (+4 Dex) (Kafra Shop item) - Suggested for PvE but not WoE/PvP.
* Apple of Archer (+3 Dex) - Suggested for PvE but not WoE/PvP.
* Wise Headgear [1] (+80 SP) (Willow Card) - More SP to use skills and increase overall SP regeneration.
* Erudite Headgear [1] (+2 Int) - More Int to increase effect of [[Gypsy's Kiss]].
* Peerless Headgear [1] (Immune to [[Silence]]) - Who would have thought people would try to silence you because they don't like you screaming ([[Dazzler]] on iRO is called Scream on kRO)? This is a great item to have but you sacrifice more dex or damage reduction from demi-humans for immunity to silence.
* Poo Poo Hat (10% decrease from demi-human attacks) - Use for WoE.
* Feather Beret (+1 MDEF and 10% decrease from demi-human attacks) - Use for WoE/PvP.
* Beret (10% decrease from demi-human attacks) - Use for WoE/PvP.

=== Middle Headgear ===

Some of these headgear take up both the middle and lower slots.

* Opera Masque (+1 Def) - If you're not using a Binocular, you might as well use some DEF to decrease the physical damage you recieve.
* Binoculars (+1 Dex) - A headgear that can be used to replace tights if applicable.
* Masquerade (3% more damage against demi-humans)
* Evolved Ribbons (+5 Flee) - Extra flee to help Agi/Dex Dancers flee monsters.
* Alarm Mask (+2 Def) - If you're not using a Binocular, you might as well use some DEF to decrease the physical damage you recieve.
* Erudite Sunglasses [1] (+2 Int) - More Int to increase effect of [[Gypsy's Kiss]].
* Wise Sunglasses [1] (+2 Int) - More SP to use skills and increase overall SP regeneration.
* Red Glasses (+5 MDEF) - Great to use to add to your MDEF if you're about to rush a precast in WoE.

=== Lower Headgear ===

*Evolved Pipe (+1 Vit and reduces damage from Brute class monsters by 5%) - More vit to try and gain [[stun]] and [[silence]] immunity and less damage from Brute class monsters when leveling.
*Gangster Mask (15% resistance to Silence) - Helpful if you're not immune to silence using a Marduk Card or having 100 total vit.

=== Armor ===

Tights are suggested because of their +1 Dex but can be replaced with other armors that Dancers can wear if needed.

* Hard Tights [1] (+1 Dex) (Pupa Card) - Ideal for the Agi/Dex Dancers who need an extra boost of HP to survive longer.
* Tights of Ares [1] (+1 Dex) (Peco Peco Card) - Choose this if your base HP is greater than or equal to 7000 HP (giving you 700 HP or more). Great for PvP/PvE if you're not wearing an Unfrozen.
* Unfrozen Tights [1] (+1 Dex) (Marc Card) (Immunity against [[Frozen]] status)
* Solidifying Tights [1] (+1 Dex and chance to cast Stone Curse on enemy when user is physically attacked) - An effort to immobilize whoever is hitting you so that you can get some range and start your attack or run away and wait for a better moment to strike.

There are other specific armors out there that are beneficial (or sometimes not beneficial depending on the situation) such as those that change the element of the player (Swordfish Card, Dokebi Card, Pasana Card, etc) and those that cause status effects to your enemies under certain conditions (Demon Fungus Card, Brilight Card, etc.)

=== Garment ===

Mufflers are suggested because they are easily obtainable. They can be replaced with Wool Scarfs (+4 MDEF) or Heavenly Maiden's Robe (+1 more DEF than Mufflers).

* Bow-Master's Garment (Dragon Tail Card) (5% increase damage to Double Strafe and Arrow Shower) - Also apart of the archer and Gypsy/Minstrel set, this is great for the times when you are Double Strafing or Arrow Showering whether in WoE, PvP, or PvE.
* Anti-Sniping Garment (Noxious Card) (10% resistance against long ranged attacks and neutral property attacks) - Great for WoE. However, as a Dancer, it is up to you to decide when and where to use an Anti-Sniping Muffler or an Immune Muffler.
* Immune Garment (Raydric Card) (20% resistance against neutral property attacks) - If you're not wearing any of the two above, it is suggested that you be wearing this garment.

There are other specific garments out there that are beneficial such as those that give resistance to certain elements (Jakk Card, Marse Card, etc).

=== Footgear ===

Boots are suggested because they're the footgear with the highest defense that Dancers can wear.

* +9 Superior Footgear [1] (Firelock Soldier Card) (+2 Str and, if upgraded to +9, 10% more HP and SP) - More HP to live longer and more SP to use skills and increase overall SP regeneration.
* Green Footgear [1] (Martyr Card) (+1 Agi and 10% more HP) - More HP to live longer and +1 Agi for Agi/Dex Dancers.
* Soul-Enchanted Footgear [1] (Sohee Card) (15% more SP and increase SP recovery by 3%) - More SP to use skills and increase overall SP regeneration.

The above three footgear can be substituted for other footgear such as those that gives the player more experience for killing a certain race of monsters (Am Mut Card, Mini Demon Card, etc.)

=== Accessory ===

* Nimble Glove [1] (+4 Dex) (90+ base level) or Nimble Clip [1] (+3 Dex) (no level restriction) (both are Zerom Cards) - Suggested to gain more dex for leveling or even for PvP/WoE.
* Earring (+2 Int) - More Int to increase effect of [[Gypsy's Kiss]].
* Rosary of Four Leaf Clover - (+2 MDEF, +1 Luk) (5% less damage from long ranged physical attacks) (Alligator Card) - Ideal for WoE/PvP because of the MDEF and the decrease from long ranged physical attacks.

=== Shield ===

Unlike [[Hunter|Hunters]], Dancers can wear bucklers with one-handed weapons.

*Cranial Buckler [1] (Thara Frog Card) - Suggested for PvP/WoE and sometimes PvE depending on the monsters on the map.

There are other specific shields that can be beneficial to a Dancer as well (Penomena Card, Flame Skull Card, Teddy Bear Card, etc.)

=== Weapon ===

Dancers are allowed to use shields with whips. However they are not allowed to used shields with bows as bows take up both the right and left hand slots.

*Double Bloody Double Boned Rope [4] (2x Hydra Card, 2x Skeleton Worker Card) - Can be used for leveling at Bathories or even used to attack players in PvP/WoE.
*Solid Triple Vital Rope [4] (Golem Card, 3x Fabre Card) - Suggested for a Dancer dancing [[Classical Pluck]] with a [[Bard]] in order to avoid from letting players break your whip and to increase your vit and your HP by 300.
*Double Bloody Double Composite Bow [4] (2x Hydra Card, 2x Skeleton Worker Card) - Can be used for leveling at Bathories for Agi/Dex Dancers or even used to attack players in PvP/WoE by WoE or Agi/Dex Dancers.
*Quadruple [[Status Effects|Status Effect]] Composite Bow [4] (any status effect card; Marina Card, Savage Bebe Card, Plankton Card, Magnolia Card, etc.) - If you think or know you can't take down a player or more by yourself, you can try to slow them down, or even immobilizing them, using status bows. On top of that, you could use status arrows but some are harder to obtain than others.

=== Arrows ===

*PvE: Be prepared for any element that may be present on the map you choose to farm/MvP/level on.

*PvP/WoE: Obtaining status arrows depends on how much zeny you have, how much zeny you are willing to spend if it comes to that point, what items you have access to, and what you plan to do in PvP/WoE.

:*[[Stun]] and [[Silence]] (known in-game as Mute Arrows) Arrows/Bows work well against Casters such as the [[Wizard]] Class and the [[Sage]] Class (excluding full support build Sages/Scholars) as they do enough vit to become immune (unless they're wearing a Peerless (Marduk Card) Headgear which makes them immune to silence or they could use items to remove this effect on themselves).

:*[[Curse]]d Arrows/bows work well against players on Peco Pecos such as the Swordsman Class. These arrows and bows help decrease the walking speed of the Swordsman Class so that you have time to run away and hide, strike again later, or keep them at a distance.

:*[[Sleep]] Arrows/bows work well against low Int and low Luk type characters. These are ideal against full support [[Scholar]]s, Agi/Dex [[Sniper]]s, and [[Enchant Deadly Poison]] [[Sonic Blow]] [[Assassin Cross]]es.

:*[[Frozen]] Arrows/bows may work better using Arrow Shower and Arrow Showering a group of players closely packed but, most of the time, players are wearing Unfrozen armor in WoE and PvP.

== Common Skill/Stat Builds ==
=== PvM Builds ===
* STR: 1
* AGI: 80-99
* VIT: 1
* INT: 9-53
* DEX: 99
* LUK: 1

[[PvM]] builds of a Dancer echo the [[DEX]]/[[AGI]] [[Hunter]] build. However, decreasing Agi in order to increase [[INT]] will allow you to [[Double Strafe]] more often as well as regenerate SP faster than a Hunter with the same stat build.

=== WOE Builds ===

[[WoE]] Builds use 99 [[DEX]] and the only other 2 stats that are needed are [[INT]] and [[VIT]]. [[INT]] allows the skill [[Dazzler]] to be used more due to increased total [[SP]] of the dancer, while [[VIT]] gives more [[HP]] allowing the dancer to survive longer as well as less chance to get stunned. Both are needed, and should be planned according to a specific skill build selected.

For those future dancers who are having problems with this part of the test: An effective way to pass this exam is to only perform the first and last steps for sequences with more than two steps, rather than hitting all the tiles. i.e. Instead of doing "Left Center Right Back", one simply goes from Left to Back.
=== Job Change ===

Returning to the NPC who did the verbal testing for the job chance to Dancer. Either a 3 slotted Line for Job 50, or a 3 slotted Rope for any job change lower than that are awarded as a gift for changing class.
== Equipments Used ==
This is no where a complete list of equipment that is required or suggested. This list is not based around any mini boss or MvP drops.

=== Upper Headgear ===

Besides the "kawaii" headgear you have taking up almost all of your storage, these are some of the basics that are suggested to have for a Dancer.

* Ramen Hat (+4 Dex) (Kafra Shop item) - Suggested for PvE but not WoE/PvP.
* Apple of Archer (+3 Dex) - Suggested for PvE but not WoE/PvP.
* Wise Headgear [1] (+80 SP) (Willow Card) - More SP to use skills and increase overall SP regeneration.
* Erudite Headgear [1] (+2 Int) - More Int to increase effect of [[Gypsy's Kiss]].
* Peerless Headgear [1] (Immune to [[Silence]]) - Who would have thought people would try to silence you because they don't like you screaming ([[Dazzler]] on iRO is called Scream on kRO)? This is a great item to have but you sacrifice more dex or damage reduction from demi-humans for immunity to silence.
* Poo Poo Hat (10% decrease from demi-human attacks) - Use for WoE.
* Feather Beret (+1 MDEF and 10% decrease from demi-human attacks) - Use for WoE/PvP.
* Beret (10% decrease from demi-human attacks) - Use for WoE/PvP.

=== Middle Headgear ===

Some of these headgear take up both the middle and lower slots.

* Opera Masque (+1 Def) - If you're not using a Binocular, you might as well use some DEF to decrease the physical damage you recieve.
* Binoculars (+1 Dex) - A headgear that can be used to replace tights if applicable.
* Masquerade (3% more damage against demi-humans)
* Evolved Ribbons (+5 Flee) - Extra flee to help Agi/Dex Dancers flee monsters.
* Alarm Mask (+2 Def) - If you're not using a Binocular, you might as well use some DEF to decrease the physical damage you recieve.
* Erudite Sunglasses [1] (+2 Int) - More Int to increase effect of [[Gypsy's Kiss]].
* Wise Sunglasses [1] (+2 Int) - More SP to use skills and increase overall SP regeneration.
* Red Glasses (+5 MDEF) - Great to use to add to your MDEF if you're about to rush a precast in WoE.

=== Lower Headgear ===

*Evolved Pipe (+1 Vit and reduces damage from Brute class monsters by 5%) - More vit to try and gain [[stun]] and [[silence]] immunity and less damage from Brute class monsters when leveling.
*Gangster Mask (15% resistance to Silence) - Helpful if you're not immune to silence using a Marduk Card or having 100 total vit.

=== Armor ===

Tights are suggested because of their +1 Dex but can be replaced with other armors that Dancers can wear if needed.

* Hard Tights [1] (+1 Dex) (Pupa Card) - Ideal for the Agi/Dex Dancers who need an extra boost of HP to survive longer.
* Tights of Ares [1] (+1 Dex) (Peco Peco Card) - Choose this if your base HP is greater than or equal to 7000 HP (giving you 700 HP or more). Great for PvP/PvE if you're not wearing an Unfrozen.
* Unfrozen Tights [1] (+1 Dex) (Marc Card) (Immunity against [[Frozen]] status)
* Solidifying Tights [1] (+1 Dex and chance to cast Stone Curse on enemy when user is physically attacked) - An effort to immobilize whoever is hitting you so that you can get some range and start your attack or run away and wait for a better moment to strike.

There are other specific armors out there that are beneficial (or sometimes not beneficial depending on the situation) such as those that change the element of the player (Swordfish Card, Dokebi Card, Pasana Card, etc) and those that cause status effects to your enemies under certain conditions (Demon Fungus Card, Brilight Card, etc.)

=== Garment ===

Mufflers are suggested because they are easily obtainable. They can be replaced with Wool Scarfs (+4 MDEF) or Heavenly Maiden's Robe (+1 more DEF than Mufflers).

* Bow-Master's Garment (Dragon Tail Card) (5% increase damage to Double Strafe and Arrow Shower) - Also apart of the archer and Gypsy/Minstrel set, this is great for the times when you are Double Strafing or Arrow Showering whether in WoE, PvP, or PvE.
* Anti-Sniping Garment (Noxious Card) (10% resistance against long ranged attacks and neutral property attacks) - Great for WoE. However, as a Dancer, it is up to you to decide when and where to use an Anti-Sniping Muffler or an Immune Muffler.
* Immune Garment (Raydric Card) (20% resistance against neutral property attacks) - If you're not wearing any of the two above, it is suggested that you be wearing this garment.

There are other specific garments out there that are beneficial such as those that give resistance to certain elements (Jakk Card, Marse Card, etc).

=== Footgear ===

Boots are suggested because they're the footgear with the highest defense that Dancers can wear.

* +9 Superior Footgear [1] (Firelock Soldier Card) (+2 Str and, if upgraded to +9, 10% more HP and SP) - More HP to live longer and more SP to use skills and increase overall SP regeneration.
* Green Footgear [1] (Martyr Card) (+1 Agi and 10% more HP) - More HP to live longer and +1 Agi for Agi/Dex Dancers.
* Soul-Enchanted Footgear [1] (Sohee Card) (15% more SP and increase SP recovery by 3%) - More SP to use skills and increase overall SP regeneration.

The above three footgear can be substituted for other footgear such as those that gives the player more experience for killing a certain race of monsters (Am Mut Card, Mini Demon Card, etc.)

=== Accessory ===

* Nimble Glove [1] (+4 Dex) (90+ base level) or Nimble Clip [1] (+3 Dex) (no level restriction) (both are Zerom Cards) - Suggested to gain more dex for leveling or even for PvP/WoE.
* Earring (+2 Int) - More Int to increase effect of [[Gypsy's Kiss]].
* Rosary of Four Leaf Clover - (+2 MDEF, +1 Luk) (5% less damage from long ranged physical attacks) (Alligator Card) - Ideal for WoE/PvP because of the MDEF and the decrease from long ranged physical attacks.

=== Shield ===

Unlike [[Hunter|Hunters]], Dancers can wear bucklers with one-handed weapons.

*Cranial Buckler [1] (Thara Frog Card) - Suggested for PvP/WoE and sometimes PvE depending on the monsters on the map.

There are other specific shields that can be beneficial to a Dancer as well (Penomena Card, Flame Skull Card, Teddy Bear Card, etc.)

=== Weapon ===

Dancers are allowed to use shields with whips. However they are not allowed to used shields with bows as bows take up both the right and left hand slots.

*Double Bloody Double Boned Rope [4] (2x Hydra Card, 2x Skeleton Worker Card) - Can be used for leveling at Bathories or even used to attack players in PvP/WoE.
*Solid Triple Vital Rope [4] (Golem Card, 3x Fabre Card) - Suggested for a Dancer dancing [[Classical Pluck]] with a [[Bard]] in order to avoid from letting players break your whip and to increase your vit and your HP by 300.
*Double Bloody Double Composite Bow [4] (2x Hydra Card, 2x Skeleton Worker Card) - Can be used for leveling at Bathories for Agi/Dex Dancers or even used to attack players in PvP/WoE by WoE or Agi/Dex Dancers.
*Quadruple [[Status Effect]] Composite Bow [4] (any status effect card; Marina Card, Savage Bebe Card, Plankton Card, Magnolia Card, etc.) - If you think or know you can't take down a player or more by yourself, you can try to slow them down, or even immobilizing them, using status bows. On top of that, you could use status arrows but some are harder to obtain than others.

=== Arrows ===

*PvE: Be prepared for any element that may be present on the map you choose to farm/MvP/level on.

*PvP/WoE: Obtaining status arrows depends on how much zeny you have, how much zeny you are willing to spend if it comes to that point, what items you have access to, and what you plan to do in PvP/WoE.

:*[[Stun]] and [[Silence]] (known in-game as Mute Arrows) Arrows/Bows work well against Casters such as the [[Wizard]] Class and the [[Sage]] Class (excluding full support build Sages/Scholars) as they do enough vit to become immune (unless they're wearing a Peerless (Marduk Card) Headgear which makes them immune to silence or they could use items to remove this effect on themselves).

:*[[Curse]]d Arrows/bows work well against players on Peco Pecos such as the Swordsman Class. These arrows and bows help decrease the walking speed of the Swordsman Class so that you have time to run away and hide, strike again later, or keep them at a distance.

:*[[Sleep]] Arrows/bows work well against low Int and low Luk type characters. These are ideal against full support [[Scholar]]s, Agi/Dex [[Sniper]]s, and [[Enchant Deadly Poison]] [[Sonic Blow]] [[Assassin Cross]]es.

:*[[Frozen]] Arrows/bows may work better using Arrow Shower and Arrow Showering a group of players closely packed but, most of the time, players are wearing Unfrozen armor in WoE and PvP.

== Common Skill/Stat Builds ==
=== PvM Builds ===
* STR: 1
* AGI: 80-99
* VIT: 1
* INT: 9-53
* DEX: 99
* LUK: 1

[[PvM]] builds of a Dancer echo the [[DEX]]/[[AGI]] [[Hunter]] build. However, decreasing Agi in order to increase [[INT]] will allow you to [[Double Strafe]] more often as well as regenerate SP faster than a Hunter with the same stat build.

=== WOE Builds ===

[[WoE]] Builds use 99 [[DEX]] and the only other 2 stats that are needed are [[INT]] and [[VIT]]. [[INT]] allows the skill [[Dazzler]] to be used more due to increased total [[SP]] of the dancer, while [[VIT]] gives more [[HP]] allowing the dancer to survive longer as well as less chance to get stunned. Both are needed, and should be planned according to a specific skill build selected.

Dancer

2008-05-18T13:16:44Z

Dispel: /* General Information */

{{Infobox Job|jobName=Dancer|jobBase=Archer|jobType=2-2|changesAt=Comodo|skills=18|skillPoints=91|questSkills=1
|str=2|agi=7|vit=3|int=5|dex=5|luk=8}}

Rhythm and balance are qualities cultivated by all [[Archer]]s, however, only the truly talented are allowed to learn the secret steps of the Dancers. These scantily clad seductresses gain the power to influence the minds of allies and enemies alike.

It is said that time [[Slow_Grace|slows down]] when a Dancer starts to move her hips to the sound of some mysterious tune; that those watching may [[Charming_Wink|lose control]] of their bodies and find their magic reserves either [[Gypsy's_Kiss|greatly improved]] or [[Hip_Shaker|gone altogether]]. Where their male counterparts, the [[Bard]]s, are more bent on support, Dancers specialize at disruptive maneuvers, which make them an invaluable asset in the War of Emperium.

Supporting with a Bard or Dancer requires a different approach than other classes. Music-based buffs are mostly percentual values, as opposed to the absolute values of [[Priest]] buffs, and require careful strategy and positioning, but playing as an [[Archer]] should already provide some experience in this respect. Despite their supportive role, one should not forget that Dancers are also capable of dealing good quantities of damage, one of their main advantages over [[Hunter|Huntresses]] is their immense SP pool which allows them to continually use [[Double Strafe]] instead of normal attacks, ensuring decent damage output.

== General Information ==

To understand how to build a [[Bard]] or Dancer, knowledge of all their skills is needed. Dancer and [[Bard]] skills are, in comparison to other classes, very stat dependent. In general, there are 2 types of skills for both a Dancer and a [[Bard]]; skills which can be sung or danced without a partner of the opposite gender and those where the player needs another [[Bard]] or Dancer respectively.

As a Dancer only whips, daggers and bows are available for weapons, whereas Bards can use instruments instead of whips.

* When armed with a [[Whips|Whip]]:
** Bow skills ([[Double Strafe]], [[Arrow Shower]], [[Arrow Repel]]) cannot be used
** [[Performance Skills]], as well as [[Amp]] and [[Encore]] are available
** Whip skills ([[Slinging Arrow]], [[Arrow Vulcan]]) can be used
** Whip damage depends on the Dancer's [[dex]], NOT [[str]]. Just like it does for [[bow|bows]]
[[Unbarring Octave]], [[Dazzler]], [[Pang Voice]] and [[Charming Wink]] are usable regardless of weapons.

== How to become a Dancer ==
=== Sign up ===

Whenever the player considers herself ready to become a Dancer, she should head to [[Comodo]]. Near the Kafra employee, there will be a male NPC who will grant entrance into the Dancer Quest. Upon heading inside and talking to the NPC to the left, she will ask the player to fulfill one of the following requirements along with the minimum requirement of Job 40 or more on a female [[Archer]].

# 1 Sandals, 10 Black Hair, 20 Jellopy, 5 Yellow Potion, 2 Clam Shell
# 1 Shoes, 20 Sticky Mucus, 3 Jellopy, 5 Red Potion
# 1 Boots , 5 Earthworm Peeling

Once signing up is finished, it is time to head in the opposite direction, to the rightside of the map and talk to that NPC.

=== Quiz ===

The quiz involves a simple Q and A session. Getting 80% correct is required to pass this part of the exam. For reference, the following are the questions that are asked for this section of the exam. (The wording however, may differ)

=== Dance Dance Revolution ===

After answering the questions correctly, the NPC will send the player to Dance on the stage. at this point one should make sure to equip a Bow and some arrows and then head behind the stage to meet another NPC with a Chat window above her with "Waiting Room" as the title. Entering the chatroom will put the player on queue for the trial. The exam is a simple test of movement and quick responses. Hotkeyeing [[Arrow Shower]] or [[Double Strafe]] and [[Improve Concentration]] is suggested. Note: there's a poring at the end that has to be killed with a bow and arrows. Using [[Improve Concentration]] is optional; however, the NPC will ask for it.

The Dancing pattern is as follows.

# Back
# Front
# Left
# Right
# Center
# Pose (just remain on the tile)
# [[Improve Concentration]]
# Left
# Front
# Right
# Pose (just remain on the tile)
# Left, Center, Right, Back
# Right
# Left, Center, Front, Back
# Left, Center, Front, Back
# Front
# Left
# Center
# [[Arrow Shower]] or [[Double Strafe]]

For those future dancers who are having problems with this part of the test: An effective way to pass this exam is to only perform the first and last steps for sequences with more than two steps, rather than hitting all the tiles. i.e. Instead of doing "Left Center Right Back", one simply goes from Left to Back.

=== PvM Builds ===
* STR: 1
* AGI: 80-99
* VIT: 1
* INT: 9-53

[[PvM]] builds of a Dancer echo the [[DEX]]/[[AGI]] [[Hunter]] build. However, decreasing Agi in order to increase [[INT]] will allow you to [[Double Strafe]] more often as well as regenerate SP faster than a Hunter with the same stat build.

=== WOE Builds ===

[[WoE]] Builds use 99 [[DEX]] and the only other 2 stats that are needed are [[INT]] and [[VIT]]. [[INT]] allows the skill [[Dazzler]] to be used more due to increased total [[SP]] of the dancer, while [[VIT]] gives more [[HP]] allowing the dancer to survive longer as well as less chance to get stunned.

Dancer

2008-05-18T13:11:37Z

Dispel: /* Arrows */

{{Infobox Job|jobName=Dancer|jobBase=Archer|jobType=2-2|changesAt=Comodo|skills=18|skillPoints=91|questSkills=1
|str=2|agi=7|vit=3|int=5|dex=5|luk=8}}

Rhythm and balance are qualities cultivated by all [[Archer]]s, however, only the truly talented are allowed to learn the secret steps of the Dancers. These scantily clad seductresses gain the power to influence the minds of allies and enemies alike.

It is said that time [[Slow_Grace|slows down]] when a Dancer starts to move her hips to the sound of some mysterious tune; that those watching may [[Charming_Wink|lose control]] of their bodies and find their magic reserves either [[Gypsy's_Kiss|greatly improved]] or [[Hip_Shaker|gone altogether]]. Where their male counterparts, the [[Bard]]s, are more bent on support, Dancers specialize at disruptive maneuvers, which make them an invaluable asset in the War of Emperium.

Supporting with a Bard or Dancer requires a different approach than other classes. Music-based buffs are mostly percentual values, as opposed to the absolute values of [[Priest]] buffs, and require careful strategy and positioning, but playing as an [[Archer]] should already provide some experience in this respect. Despite their supportive role, one should not forget that Dancers are also capable of dealing good quantities of damage, one of their main advantages over [[Hunter|Huntresses]] is their immense SP pool which allows them to continually use [[Double Strafe]] instead of normal attacks, ensuring decent damage output.

== General Information ==

To understand how to build a [[Bard]] or Dancer, knowledge of all their skills is needed. Dancer and [[Bard]] skills are, in comparison to other classes, very stat dependent. In general, there are 2 types of skills for both a Dancer and a [[Bard]]; skills which can be sung or danced without a partner of the opposite gender and those where the player needs another [[Bard]] or Dancer respectively.

As a Dancer only whips, daggers and bows are available for weapons, whereas Bards can use instruments instead of whips.

* When armed with a [[Whips|Whip]]:
** Bow skills ([[Double Strafe]], [[Arrow Shower]], [[Arrow Repel]]) cannot be used
** [[Performance Skills]], as well as [[Amp]] and [[Encore]] are available
** Whip skills ([[Slinging Arrow]], [[Arrow Vulcan]]) can be used

[[Unbarring Octave]], [[Dazzler]], [[Pang Voice]] and [[Charming Wink]] are usable regardless of weapons.

== How to become a Dancer ==
=== Sign up ===

Whenever the player considers herself ready to become a Dancer, she should head to [[Comodo]]. Near the Kafra employee, there will be a male NPC who will grant entrance into the Dancer Quest. Upon heading inside and talking to the NPC to the left, she will ask the player to fulfill one of the following requirements along with the minimum requirement of Job 40 or more on a female [[Archer]].

# 1 Sandals, 10 Black Hair, 20 Jellopy, 5 Yellow Potion, 2 Clam Shell
# 1 Shoes, 20 Sticky Mucus, 3 Jellopy, 5 Red Potion
# 1 Boots , 5 Earthworm Peeling

Once signing up is finished, it is time to head in the opposite direction, to the rightside of the map and talk to that NPC.

=== Quiz ===

The quiz involves a simple Q and A session. Getting 80% correct is required to pass this part of the exam. For reference, the following are the questions that are asked for this section of the exam. (The wording however, may differ)

* Question Set A
# What effect does Dance Lessons have? [Raises effects of dance skills]
# What is the dance called where you wear shoes that make a sound and dance a light rhythm? [Tapdance]

=== Dance Dance Revolution ===

After answering the questions correctly, the NPC will send the player to Dance on the stage. at this point one should make sure to equip a Bow and some arrows and then head behind the stage to meet another NPC with a Chat window above her with "Waiting Room" as the title. Entering the chatroom will put the player on queue for the trial. The exam is a simple test of movement and quick responses. Hotkeyeing [[Arrow Shower]] or [[Double Strafe]] and [[Improve Concentration]] is suggested. Note: there's a poring at the end that has to be killed with a bow and arrows. Using [[Improve Concentration]] is optional; however, the NPC will ask for it.

The Dancing pattern is as follows.

# Back
# Front
# Left
# Right
# Center
# Pose (just remain on the tile)
# [[Improve Concentration]]
# Left
# Front
# Right
# Pose (just remain on the tile)
# Left, Center, Right, Back
# Right
# Left, Center, Front, Back
# Left, Center, Front, Back
# Front
# Left
# Center
# [[Arrow Shower]] or [[Double Strafe]]

For those future dancers who are having problems with this part of the test: An effective way to pass this exam is to only perform the first and last steps for sequences with more than two steps, rather than hitting all the tiles. i.e. Instead of doing "Left Center Right Back", one simply goes from Left to Back.
=== Job Change ===

Returning to the NPC who did the verbal testing for the job chance to Dancer. Either a 3 slotted Line for Job 50, or a 3 slotted Rope for any job change lower than that are awarded as a gift for changing class.
== Equipments Used ==
This is no where a complete list of equipment that is required or suggested. This list is not based around any mini boss or MvP drops.

=== Upper Headgear ===

Besides the "kawaii" headgear you have taking up almost all of your storage, these are some of the basics that are suggested to have for a Dancer.

* Ramen Hat (+4 Dex) (Kafra Shop item) - Suggested for PvE but not WoE/PvP.
* Apple of Archer (+3 Dex) - Suggested for PvE but not WoE/PvP.
* Wise Headgear [1] (+80 SP) (Willow Card) - More SP to use skills and increase overall SP regeneration.
* Erudite Headgear [1] (+2 Int) - More Int to increase effect of [[Gypsy's Kiss]].
* Peerless Headgear [1] (Immune to [[Silence]]) - Who would have thought people would try to silence you because they don't like you screaming ([[Dazzler]] on iRO is called Scream on kRO)? This is a great item to have but you sacrifice more dex or damage reduction from demi-humans for immunity to silence.
* Poo Poo Hat (10% decrease from demi-human attacks) - Use for WoE.
* Feather Beret (+1 MDEF and 10% decrease from demi-human attacks) - Use for WoE/PvP.
* Beret (10% decrease from demi-human attacks) - Use for WoE/PvP.

=== Middle Headgear ===

Some of these headgear take up both the middle and lower slots.

* Opera Masque (+1 Def) - If you're not using a Binocular, you might as well use some DEF to decrease the physical damage you recieve.
* Binoculars (+1 Dex) - A headgear that can be used to replace tights if applicable.
* Masquerade (3% more damage against demi-humans)
* Evolved Ribbons (+5 Flee) - Extra flee to help Agi/Dex Dancers flee monsters.
* Alarm Mask (+2 Def) - If you're not using a Binocular, you might as well use some DEF to decrease the physical damage you recieve.
* Erudite Sunglasses [1] (+2 Int) - More Int to increase effect of [[Gypsy's Kiss]].
* Wise Sunglasses [1] (+2 Int) - More SP to use skills and increase overall SP regeneration.
* Red Glasses (+5 MDEF) - Great to use to add to your MDEF if you're about to rush a precast in WoE.

=== Lower Headgear ===

*Evolved Pipe (+1 Vit and reduces damage from Brute class monsters by 5%) - More vit to try and gain [[stun]] and [[silence]] immunity and less damage from Brute class monsters when leveling.
*Gangster Mask (15% resistance to Silence) - Helpful if you're not immune to silence using a Marduk Card or having 100 total vit.

=== Armor ===

Tights are suggested because of their +1 Dex but can be replaced with other armors that Dancers can wear if needed.

* Hard Tights [1] (+1 Dex) (Pupa Card) - Ideal for the Agi/Dex Dancers who need an extra boost of HP to survive longer.
* Tights of Ares [1] (+1 Dex) (Peco Peco Card) - Choose this if your base HP is greater than or equal to 7000 HP (giving you 700 HP or more). Great for PvP/PvE if you're not wearing an Unfrozen.
* Unfrozen Tights [1] (+1 Dex) (Marc Card) (Immunity against [[Frozen]] status)
* Solidifying Tights [1] (+1 Dex and chance to cast Stone Curse on enemy when user is physically attacked) - An effort to immobilize whoever is hitting you so that you can get some range and start your attack or run away and wait for a better moment to strike.

There are other specific armors out there that are beneficial (or sometimes not beneficial depending on the situation) such as those that change the element of the player (Swordfish Card, Dokebi Card, Pasana Card, etc) and those that cause status effects to your enemies under certain conditions (Demon Fungus Card, Brilight Card, etc.)

=== Garment ===

Mufflers are suggested because they are easily obtainable. They can be replaced with Wool Scarfs (+4 MDEF) or Heavenly Maiden's Robe (+1 more DEF than Mufflers).

* Bow-Master's Garment (Dragon Tail Card) (5% increase damage to Double Strafe and Arrow Shower) - Also apart of the archer and Gypsy/Minstrel set, this is great for the times when you are Double Strafing or Arrow Showering whether in WoE, PvP, or PvE.
* Anti-Sniping Garment (Noxious Card) (10% resistance against long ranged attacks and neutral property attacks) - Great for WoE. However, as a Dancer, it is up to you to decide when and where to use an Anti-Sniping Muffler or an Immune Muffler.
* Immune Garment (Raydric Card) (20% resistance against neutral property attacks) - If you're not wearing any of the two above, it is suggested that you be wearing this garment.

There are other specific garments out there that are beneficial such as those that give resistance to certain elements (Jakk Card, Marse Card, etc).

=== Footgear ===

Boots are suggested because they're the footgear with the highest defense that Dancers can wear.

* +9 Superior Footgear [1] (Firelock Soldier Card) (+2 Str and, if upgraded to +9, 10% more HP and SP) - More HP to live longer and more SP to use skills and increase overall SP regeneration.
* Green Footgear [1] (Martyr Card) (+1 Agi and 10% more HP) - More HP to live longer and +1 Agi for Agi/Dex Dancers.
* Soul-Enchanted Footgear [1] (Sohee Card) (15% more SP and increase SP recovery by 3%) - More SP to use skills and increase overall SP regeneration.

The above three footgear can be substituted for other footgear such as those that gives the player more experience for killing a certain race of monsters (Am Mut Card, Mini Demon Card, etc.)

=== Accessory ===

* Nimble Glove [1] (+4 Dex) (90+ base level) or Nimble Clip [1] (+3 Dex) (no level restriction) (both are Zerom Cards) - Suggested to gain more dex for leveling or even for PvP/WoE.
* Earring (+2 Int) - More Int to increase effect of [[Gypsy's Kiss]].
* Rosary of Four Leaf Clover - (+2 MDEF, +1 Luk) (5% less damage from long ranged physical attacks) (Alligator Card) - Ideal for WoE/PvP because of the MDEF and the decrease from long ranged physical attacks.

=== Shield ===

Unlike [[Hunters]], Dancers can wear bucklers with one-handed weapons.

*Cranial Buckler [1] (Thara Frog Card) - Suggested for PvP/WoE and sometimes PvE depending on the monsters on the map.

There are other specific shields that can be beneficial to a Dancer as well (Penomena Card, Flame Skull Card, Teddy Bear Card, etc.)

=== Weapon ===

Dancers are allowed to use shields with whips. However they are not allowed to used shields with bows as bows take up both the right and left hand slots.

*Double Bloody Double Boned Rope [4] (2x Hydra Card, 2x Skeleton Worker Card) - Can be used for leveling at Bathories or even used to attack players in PvP/WoE.
*Solid Triple Vital Rope [4] (Golem Card, 3x Fabre Card) - Suggested for a Dancer dancing [[Classical Pluck]] with a [[Bard]] in order to avoid from letting players break your whip and to increase your vit and your HP by 300.
*Double Bloody Double Composite Bow [4] (2x Hydra Card, 2x Skeleton Worker Card) - Can be used for leveling at Bathories for Agi/Dex Dancers or even used to attack players in PvP/WoE by WoE or Agi/Dex Dancers.
*Quadruple [[Status Effect]] Composite Bow [4] (any status effect card; Marina Card, Savage Bebe Card, Plankton Card, Magnolia Card, etc.) - If you think or know you can't take down a player or more by yourself, you can try to slow them down, or even immobilizing them, using status bows. On top of that, you could use status arrows but some are harder to obtain than others.

=== Arrows ===

*PvE: Be prepared for any element that may be present on the map you choose to farm/MvP/level on.

*PvP/WoE: Obtaining status arrows depends on how much zeny you have, how much zeny you are willing to spend if it comes to that point, what items you have access to, and what you plan to do in PvP/WoE.

:*[[Stun]] and [[Silence]] (known in-game as Mute Arrows) Arrows/Bows work well against Casters such as the [[Wizard]] Class and the [[Sage]] Class (excluding full support build Sages/Scholars) as they do enough vit to become immune (unless they're wearing a Peerless (Marduk Card) Headgear which makes them immune to silence or they could use items to remove this effect on themselves).

:*[[Curse]]d Arrows/bows work well against players on Peco Pecos such as the Swordsman Class. These arrows and bows help decrease the walking speed of the Swordsman Class so that you have time to run away and hide, strike again later, or keep them at a distance.

:*[[Sleep]] Arrows/bows work well against low Int and low Luk type characters. These are ideal against full support [[Scholar]]s, Agi/Dex [[Sniper]]s, and [[Enchant Deadly Poison]] [[Sonic Blow]] [[Assassin Cross]]es.

:*[[Frozen]] Arrows/bows may work better using Arrow Shower and Arrow Showering a group of players closely packed but, most of the time, players are wearing Unfrozen armor in WoE and PvP.

== Common Skill/Stat Builds ==
=== PvM Builds ===
* STR: 1
* AGI: 80-99
* VIT: 1
* INT: 9-53
* DEX: 99
* LUK: 1

[[PvM]] builds of a Dancer echo the [[DEX]]/[[AGI]] [[Hunter]] build. However, decreasing Agi in order to increase [[INT]] will allow you to [[Double Strafe]] more often as well as regenerate SP faster than a Hunter with the same stat build.

=== WOE Builds ===

[[WoE]] Builds use 99 [[DEX]] and the only other 2 stats that are needed are [[INT]] and [[VIT]]. [[INT]] allows the skill [[Dazzler]] to be used more due to increased total [[SP]] of the dancer, while [[VIT]] gives more [[HP]] allowing the dancer to survive longer as well as less chance to get stunned. Both are needed, and should be planned according to a specific skill build selected.

* Tights of Ares [1] (+1 Dex) (Peco Peco Card) - Choose this if your base HP is greater than or equal to 7000 HP (giving you 700 HP or more). Great for PvP/PvE if you're not wearing an Unfrozen.
* Unfrozen Tights [1] (+1 Dex) (Marc Card) (Immunity against [[Frozen]] status)
* Solidifying Tights [1] (+1 Dex and chance to cast Stone Curse on enemy when user is physically attacked) - An effort to immobilize whoever is hitting you so that you can get some range and start your attack or run away and wait for a better moment to strike.

There are other specific armors out there that are beneficial (or sometimes not beneficial depending on the situation) such as those that change the element of the player (Swordfish Card, Dokebi Card, Pasana Card, etc) and those that cause status effects to your enemies under certain conditions (Demon Fungus Card, Brilight Card, etc.)

=== Garment ===

Mufflers are suggested because they are easily obtainable. They can be replaced with Wool Scarfs (+4 MDEF) or Heavenly Maiden's Robe (+1 more DEF than Mufflers).

* Bow-Master's Garment (Dragon Tail Card) (5% increase damage to Double Strafe and Arrow Shower) - Also apart of the archer and Gypsy/Minstrel set, this is great for the times when you are Double Strafing or Arrow Showering whether in WoE, PvP, or PvE.
* Anti-Sniping Garment (Noxious Card) (10% resistance against long ranged attacks and neutral property attacks) - Great for WoE. However, as a Dancer, it is up to you to decide when and where to use an Anti-Sniping Muffler or an Immune Muffler.
* Immune Garment (Raydric Card) (20% resistance against neutral property attacks) - If you're not wearing any of the two above, it is suggested that you be wearing this garment.

There are other specific garments out there that are beneficial such as those that give resistance to certain elements (Jakk Card, Marse Card, etc).

=== Footgear ===

Boots are suggested because they're the footgear with the highest defense that Dancers can wear.

* +9 Superior Footgear [1] (Firelock Soldier Card) (+2 Str and, if upgraded to +9, 10% more HP and SP) - More HP to live longer and more SP to use skills and increase overall SP regeneration.
* Green Footgear [1] (Martyr Card) (+1 Agi and 10% more HP) - More HP to live longer and +1 Agi for Agi/Dex Dancers.
* Soul-Enchanted Footgear [1] (Sohee Card) (15% more SP and increase SP recovery by 3%) - More SP to use skills and increase overall SP regeneration.

The above three footgear can be substituted for other footgear such as those that gives the player more experience for killing a certain race of monsters (Am Mut Card, Mini Demon Card, etc.)

=== Accessory ===

* Nimble Glove [1] (+4 Dex) (90+ base level) or Nimble Clip [1] (+3 Dex) (no level restriction) (both are Zerom Cards) - Suggested to gain more dex for leveling or even for PvP/WoE.
* Earring (+2 Int) - More Int to increase effect of [[Gypsy's Kiss]].
* Rosary of Four Leaf Clover - (+2 MDEF, +1 Luk) (5% less damage from long ranged physical attacks) (Alligator Card) - Ideal for WoE/PvP because of the MDEF and the decrease from long ranged physical attacks.

=== Shield ===

Unlike [[Hunters]], Dancers can wear bucklers with one-handed weapons.

*Cranial Buckler [1] (Thara Frog Card) - Suggested for PvP/WoE and sometimes PvE depending on the monsters on the map.

There are other specific shields that can be beneficial to a Dancer as well (Penomena Card, Flame Skull Card, Teddy Bear Card, etc.)

=== Weapon ===

Dancers are allowed to use shields with whips. However they are not allowed to used shields with bows as bows take up both the right and left hand slots.

*Double Bloody Double Boned Rope [4] (2x Hydra Card, 2x Skeleton Worker Card) - Can be used for leveling at Bathories or even used to attack players in PvP/WoE.
*Solid Triple Vital Rope [4] (Golem Card, 3x Fabre Card) - Suggested for a Dancer dancing [[Classical Pluck]] with a [[Bard]] in order to avoid from letting players break your whip and to increase your vit and your HP by 300.
*Double Bloody Double Composite Bow [4] (2x Hydra Card, 2x Skeleton Worker Card) - Can be used for leveling at Bathories for Agi/Dex Dancers or even used to attack players in PvP/WoE by WoE or Agi/Dex Dancers.
*Quadruple [[Status Effect]] Composite Bow [4] (any status effect card; Marina Card, Savage Bebe Card, Plankton Card, Magnolia Card, etc.) - If you think or know you can't take down a player or more by yourself, you can try to slow them down, or even immobilizing them, using status bows. On top of that, you could use status arrows but some are harder to obtain than others.

=== Arrows ===

*PvE: Be prepared for any element that may be present on the map you choose to farm/MvP/level on.

*PvP/WoE: Obtaining status arrows depends on how much zeny you have, how much zeny you are willing to spend if it comes to that point, what items you have access to, and what you plan to do in PvP/WoE.

:*[[Stun]] and [[Silence]] (known in-game as Mute Arrows) Arrows/Bows work well against Casters such as the Wizard Class and the Sage Class (excluding full support build Sages/Scholars) as they do enough vit to become immune (unless they're wearing a Peerless (Marduk Card) Headgear which makes them immune to silence or they could use items to remove this effect on themselves).

:*[[Curse]]d Arrows/bows work well against players on Peco Pecos such as the Swordsman Class. These arrows and bows help decrease the walking speed of the Swordsman Class so that you have time to run away and hide, strike again later, or keep them at a distance.

:*[[Sleep]] Arrows/bows work well against low Int and low Luk type characters. These are ideal against full support [[Scholar]]s, Agi/Dex [[Sniper]]s, and [[Enchant Deadly Poison]] [[Sonic Blow]] [[Assassin Cross]]es.

:*[[Frozen]] Arrows/bows may work better using Arrow Shower and Arrow Showering a group of players closely packed but, most of the time, players are wearing Unfrozen armor in WoE and PvP.

== Common Skill/Stat Builds ==
=== PvM Builds ===
* STR: 1
* AGI: 80-99
* VIT: 1
* INT: 9-53
* DEX: 99
* LUK: 1

[[PvM]] builds of a Dancer echo the [[DEX]]/[[AGI]] [[Hunter]] build. However, decreasing Agi in order to increase [[INT]] will allow you to [[Double Strafe]] more often as well as regenerate SP faster than a Hunter with the same stat build.

=== WOE Builds ===

[[WoE]] Builds use 99 [[DEX]] and the only other 2 stats that are needed are [[INT]] and [[VIT]]. [[INT]] allows the skill [[Dazzler]] to be used more due to increased total [[SP]] of the dancer, while [[VIT]] gives more [[HP]] allowing the dancer to survive longer as well as less chance to get stunned. Both are needed, and should be planned according to a specific skill build selected.

Enchant Deadly Poison

2008-02-22T22:48:17Z

Dispel: Added that Enchant Deadly Poison cannot be dispelled by the Sage's skill Dispell.

{{Skill Info
| class = Assassin Cross
| type = Supportive
| levels = 5 (Selectable)
| prereqs = ([[Assassin Cross]]) [[Create Deadly Poison]] Lv. 1
| spcost = 50 + (Skill Level*10)
| time = None
| delay = 2 seconds
| duration = 35 + (Skill Level*5)
| target = Self
| catalyst = {{item |id=678 Poison Bottle}}
}}

This skill consumes one {{item |id=678 Poison Bottle}} (created with the [[Create Deadly Poison]] skill), and enchants a weapon with deadly poison to increase its damage potential. This skill does not change the weapon's attack property. Skill level affects damage increase, duration and SP consumption. There is a chance to cause a more severe version of the poison status effect on enemies as you deal damage with all levels of this skill. This poisoning aspect of the skill does not work against boss protocol monsters, as they are immune to status effects.

== Notes ==
* EDP does NOT change the wielder's Weapon Element to Poison.
* EDP is the signature skill of the Melee Assassin Cross. This skill puts a SinX in good chances with almost any MVP. In PvP or WoE it nearly ensures you will take out your target unless taken out first. In WoE it makes you a complete beast at breaking an emp, as if Sins were not good enough before. Katar, Dagger or even most Skill-based SinX can use this skill alone to take their characters to a whole new level.
* EDP cannot be dispelled by the Sage's skill [[Dispell]].
* The poison effect that can be caused on enemies while this skill is active depletes HP significantly faster than regular poison, but cannot drain a target's HP below 1/4th health (in the red).
