What is Water Melee?
Water Melee is a Water Tao that use a 2h/1h weapon to physical atack instead of a bs to magic atack.
Advantages on be a Water Melee:
As water melee you will have a great magic defense, a good atack and all water skills, that will help a lot (Stigma, Adv Cure, DH, Pray, etc...)
Best Combo to Water Melee:
In my oppinion, since i play on a classic server, the best combo to a water melee are War-War-Water, cuz of reflect and SM. But if u play on a 2.0 and want fog, u will chose Ninja-War-Water. But any xxx-War-Water would be ok, u just dont want lose SM and Reflect.
Which Weapon to choose:
There are 3 2h weapons that most of melees use that are:
Wand: is maybe the best to level, but sucks on pvp so u will need another one to pvp
Poleaxe: Its my favorite one, cuz lvl almost good as wand and its good to plvl.
Spear: Awesome to plvl, but sucks to lvl. Good combo if u have a wand to lvl and a spear to pk
People also use Blade and Sword to pk cuz of fast blade and scent sword.
Now with the Alternative Equipament working, i would say for u to get a 2h on main equip and a sword or blade on alternative equip.
Equipaments to use:
Tao Cap/Earring - Both Work good, but i prefer cap cuz also get some psysical defence
Necklace
Ring - If u use a fast weapon (Wand, Spear) use a atack ring; if u use a slow one like Poleaxe use a Dex ring.
Tao Robe and Boots
Atribute Points:
I guess that this is the main doubt of people, how to put att points. So, u need for SURE:
Str: 176 (So you can use all weapons)
Agi: 2 (You can put a bit more, but u wont need more then 10)
Spirit: Some people put enough to get 1020 mana (so 1 fixed meditation will be enough to full mana) or enough to get 1200 mana (so u can use fixes stigma 3 times per full mana), the number of atribute points you will need to on Spirit put will vary if u have a Gourd/Bottle on.
Vit: Most of people put ALL left points on vit. u can spend some of left points on str/agi too, but make sure to put a good amount on vit.
Put in mind that you will need the basic att tao points to promote at level 40, 70 and 110, so if u are going to level alone to lvl 110 u will need realot your points before/after every promotion, here are the basic points to promote -
.Leveling Guide:
As water melle u have 3 ways to level (Plvl, Melee monsters or magical monsters)
Well, u can get a archer to plvl u to 110, its the easier way cuz u will just need to realot your att points after 110 promo, so u will save some DBs.
If u dont get plvl:
1 - 70: Level using your guard on bird, or go to aple second map and level using your SM. But most of u will get plvled at least to 70 i guess.
70 - 110: If u want go kill melee monsters, u can lvl till 90 - 97 in bi (Birdmans then Hawks) and after this lab 1 till 110
If u want kill magic go to alien apes, then serpents and maybe AS.
110 - 120 - Go Lab 2 or AS and Basi.
120 - 137 - Pk arena, demon extermination, grotto 1 and 2, magic castle 2 map and all this boring stuff
Tips to make money as a water melee:
Blue Mouse: buy/find gems, trade for mets with quest to get profit.
MoonBox: Go do mb quest, u can get a real good money doing it
MZ: with you great magic defence u can go to mz easy.
Buy cheap/ Sell High: Another awesome way to make money, buy stuff cheap from people who dont have time to spend selling and sell higher to get profit, u will need patience and know your market server prices to do it.
