Help for a New Player! Hey there Dofians!

I just started playing this game, and am impressed by it's cartoony humor, cute design, involving combat, and laughable characters. However, despite all this, I have run into a dilemma: I don't know which class to choose!

I have started out with an Osamodas, and like their summoning style, but I also want to try other classes as well as find out more about them.

So far I have had my eye on trying a Pandawa or Ecaflip (because they look so interesting), and possibly a Sram, Eniripsa, Xelor, or Enturof when I get more experience or possibly right now.

I don't know that much about game mechanics/character development/builds yet so any info on those would be appreciated, especially a build for whatever class you suggest.

Also, any tips or guides you can refer me to that could help a new player would be greatly appreciated.

"Thanks for your opinions everyone! I have played around with many characters, and have really loved the Sram's for their traps (since i love traps and makin fields of em :-) ). I also like Xelor's as well, but they seem to be really weak early on due to their many linear attacks and low damage. Get better with teleport i guess? Eca's are fun, but the whole "luck" thing is kinda annoying, specially when you get "unlucky" multiple times in a row . I haven't really tried Iops (cause im not much of a straight out melee brawler), Cra's (because there are so many of em and I dont really like bows), Sac's and Feca's (cause im not very big into the whole tanking thing), Eni's (cause i dont enjoy playing a healer, but i understand their extreme usefulness), Sadida's (they look sorta my style, since i love puppets, but not really), and Enu's (cause thier damage is too low, even though im sure they become uber useful at end game). I'm looking for more info on tactics for Srams, Xelors, Ecas, and Enu's since they seem pretty appealing to me. I haven't tried Pandawa's (though they look interesting) because i am too poor to P2P.

Please give me more info! I've been scavenging the net and the Dofus wiki but still don't have enough information to make my final choice! Links to guides and the like are great too!

Thanks Again!

You should choose a character that doesn't include mass close-combat since you will be wasting your kamas on bread. Unless you chose a chance sacrier that takes awhile to get their main spells. I don't know... Here is a list of what you should train purely if you are choosing who

Osamodas : Intelligence
Xelor : Intelligence
Sram : Strength
Pandawa : Subscriber character, Strenth Intelligence or Agility can be trained on them though
Sacrier : ONLY VITALITY
Sadida : Strength
Eniripsa : Intelligence
Iop : Strength
Feca : Intelligence
Enutrof : Chance
Ecaflip : Chance/Agility build or Strength build, Intelligence is not reccomended if you are a brand new player.
Cra : Chance for Player versus player, Agility for Player versus Player or boss bashing, Intelligence for a solo fighter, Strength for purely insanely high damage.

The spells are pretty straight forward

Chance increases : Water Damage + Luck on getting better items
Intelligence increases : Fire Damage + Heals + Shields
Agility increases : Tackle zones and dodge zones (to walk around opponents and keeping them next to you too) + Air Damage + Critical hit rate increase
Strength increases : Strength and Neutral damage + 5 pods per strength
Vitality increases : Your health by every point you have, Sacriers get 2 vitality per point put into it. This is not a reccomended stat for most players
Wisdom increases : Reflection damage + Amount of exp received from a battle, Not reccomended to train whatsoever

All of the characteristics (apart from vitality and wisdom) increase your initiative and increase your damage type by 1% per point, However wisdom increases the % of exp you gain per fight. Also increases reflecting damage by 1%, Correct me if this is wrong

What happened to chance pandas?

http://dofuswiki.wikia.com/wiki/Dofus_Wiki All you need to know about classes spells, items, and things.

If you're in Rosal, I can help you a little bit.

My personal thoughts on each classes strategies/places in battle. (I didn't write about some classes, the . I myself don't know much about these, therefore thought it'd be better if someone else taught you about them.)

[Chance] Enutrofs- Fighting from afar, they use spells to take MP/AP and boosting their own MP to be able to run away.

They're invaluable when hunting for items, having the highest base Prospecting at end game if you're just counting their stats. They even have spells like Living Chest that are made just for adding Prospecting.

[Strength] Srams- You can't really tell where they are most of the time, so they're place in battle is wherever they want to be.

They use Invisibility and their wide array of traps to attack while still remaining in the shadows.

[Vitality] Sacriers- Sacriers are bodyguards that grow from every hit they get, so naturally, they get as close as they can to the enemies.

Fitting with this idea, they use Punishments to gain stats every time they take damage. As a result, no matter which type of Sacrier you are, you are advised to put points into HP. Chance and Intelligence are vampire builds at mid levels. Intelligence stays a vampire throughout endgame, unless you choose to not rely on spells, and Chance uses a spell that gains damage every time you use it in succession. Agility is probably the most common Sacrier, Agility boosting their mobility and critical hits. Strength Sacriers steal Agility from enemies, though Not too many people play them, since other types are usually stronger than Strength Sacriers at end game. They're the only class that really wants to get all the hits taken to him/her.


[????] Pandawas- Subscriber only, as Burning-Light said, they can go any type. They go wherever they'd be able to make the most use of themselves.

Having the best soft caps for their stats in the game, other than Sacriers HP, and also having good spells of each class, they can be played to be either Chance, Strength, Vitality, Intelligence, and Agility. (These are personally my favorite class.) They're the only class that can use Vulnerabilities, go into the one and only Boozer state, and pick up and throw, not only allies, but enemies as well. They truly blossom at end-game, in my opinion.

-Chance Pandawas use Melancholy for ranged linear battle, doing good damage with some range for a lower AP cost then most. At end-game, getting 12 AP won't be that challenging. Quite sadly, their first and last spell for Chance is at level 54.

-Strength Pandawas use Pandatak to attack ranged, and yes, linear as well. Their damage is higher, but comes with a 1 extra AP cost. Still, they do more damage then the Chance Pandawas, and have an AoE on their Pandatak, which results in it having more range then Melancholy. They have Hangover-Level 1, and Pandatak-Level 80 as their spells.

-Agility Pandawas use Alcoholic Breath, for ranged damage. Once again, linear. I myself do not know much about these, but I do know that they benefit from Stain the most, since they have the highest Critical Hit chance on any Pandawa.

-Intelligence Pandawas use Explosive Flask, for ranged AoE damage. Of course, it is linear as well. They can heal the most, but, cannot use their end-game spell more than 1 time per turn. Their spells are Blazing Fist-Level 1, and Explosive Flask-Level 70.

... Finishing up later...

Getting a 12AP set /is/ indeed challenging... Unless you're insanely rich/lucky, AP-maging gear tends to be not easily accessible.

You also don't need 15AP for a Str Pandawa in order to Pandatak 3x at end-game, as Pandatak costs 4AP at L6.

If i were you i would stick with osamodas for a while since you need better gear to go for any other char, if you get 15 kk buy adv set but if you play on rushu just pmme and ill give you gob set (int) so you can develop your osamodas for a while. After you get really bored with osamodas you can try Iop or Sadida i dont think you should go for Eca without really good gear and pandawa since you have to come up to enemy and if your hits are not big enough you'll probally die

So if you play on rushu just pmme Mattiez-Coinzar and you can join my guild if you want to we have many 100+ levels that can help you level.

Um? HoT, Playful Claw, Topkaj, Rough Tongue for Eca.

As for Pandawas, +range equipment.

It depends on the type of characters you want to play. For me, I would prefer Cra. Cra is good for beginners. You can survive it at ease even though you don't have any friends and you knew the game by advertisement. They're good for battling other characters and even creatures! It depends to you though. Melee for Iop, Sacrier as protectors. Osamoda as Summoners. Every character is worth playing for!

Let me start on an off note by saying welcome to Dofus! My advice to you would be start playing any and all of them. Don't be in a rush to level your character up until you know you're going to be happy with the result. Try every class you think you might enjoy playing, and toy around with them. Realize that when you join an MMO you will likely investing a large amount of time on a character you devote yourself to, make it one you won't regret spending time on later on. It's best to do research on each individual class, educate yourself on their strengths and weakness so you can figure out which fits your personal play style. Good luck with your decision and your future endeavors in the World of 12.

Just choose what you like, I like Sacriers because of their map manipulation and being REALLY helpful in a team and defending your team mates, have vampiric moves (Dancing Sword, Absorption) and have of EACH element one move, HIGH HP and more.

Mainly, I like the idea of tanking and helping out team mates, and what even makes them more powerful is that they get more powerful each hit, and dish out some incredible damage. At end-game, they (Strength Sacriers) use mainly swords to dish high damage (Being Az-teca or something a REALLY powerful sword)

Dancing Sword is a non-existent spell. It got changed into Dissolution. Let's keep it accurate =3

Good job on recommending Aztech sword -I'm sure he'll be able to use it very shortly.

To the OP; just try them all, check the -horribly outdated but still useful- dofus wikia (wikia.com/dofus). Just a get a feel for the game first.

o/

Yeah sorry about Dancing Sword and Dissolution, forget that, but you know what I mean, as I said that it's an absorb spell...

"Good job on recommending Aztech sword -I'm sure he'll be able to use it very shortly."
"At end-game, they (Strength Sacriers) use mainly swords to dish high damage (Being Az-teca or something a REALLY powerful sword)" AHEM?? CARE to READ before you post something like that -.-

P.S. I've also made the words capital, so you can READ them, okay? thanks

I merely implied that recommending Aztech to a newb is hardly useful. Why? Because no new player will reach level 186 anytime soon. It'd be more helpful to recommend low-level stuff. You know, Adventurer set, that sorta stuff.

o/

It goes with your personality in fact..

If you are the a protective person, then think about Sacrier,Feca,Pandawa,Eni,
If you prefer to stay away from your enemys in a battle and pull them away,etc. go for Enu,Cra,
Altho, if you are a total animal-lover in real life and you don't like to be alone go for Osa,
Brain Smasher and Gratuit Violence? Iop
Like to play board card games and test your luck? Eca
Altho, If you want to stay "out-of-the-game" go for Sram and their invisibility.
"IM A ECOLOGIC PERSON AND IM AGAINST THE FLOREST EXPLORATION", go Sadida

Thanks for your opinions everyone! I have played around with many characters, and have really loved the Sram's for their traps (since i love traps and makin fields of em :-) ). I also like Xelor's as well, but they seem to be really weak early on due to their many linear attacks and low damage. Get better with teleport i guess?

I'm looking for more info on tactics for Srams, Xelors, Ecas, and Enu's since they seem pretty appealing to me. I haven't tried Pandawa's (though they look interesting) because i am too poor to P2P.

Please give me more info! I've been scavenging the net and the Dofus wiki but still don't have enough information to make my final choice! Links to guides and the like are great too!

im pretty sure its dofusians but welcome nevertheless Probably one of the basic classes you want to pick is a straight up strength iop, tactical build would probably xelor, and finally the sadida! All of these classes are good beginners and you can always make a new more indepth character later.

These are the classes there are:

-Fecas, perfect fit for those who love defence and reduces amount of food they use.
-Enis, perfect fit for those who love to save food due to the fact that enis have incredible healing powers.
-Osamodas, perfect fit for those who love teamwork due to the fact that they are based on summons.
-Ecaflips, perfect for those who like to take chances.
-Xelors, perfect for those who like to prevent players from making more moves than they usually can.
-Sadidas, perfect for well um mp raping and it's a well balanced class.
-Sram, perfect for those who like to be sneaky.
-Iop, perfect for those who love to do many damage.
-Sacriers, perfect for those who love to have many hp.
-Cras, perfect for those who love to attack from a far distance.
-Pandawas, perfect for those who like to have many option of how to build them.
-Enutrof, perfect for gathering drops in battle.

I hope this helped.
