Newbie Guide - Lotus Order

[swithme]

Hello all my friends, since most of you are new to this game, I decide to make a guide about Lotus Order. This guide will include how to build, pet, lvling, ..... :] I hope this guide will help. Btw, srry for my bad english :]
-----------------------------
I. Introduction:
The Lotus Order apprentices usually study the personal virtues of the Buddha to pair with their Kung Fu. Their studies have given them abilities and skills to not only absorb damage, but also to heal as well.
Location: Mt. Emei
http://i494.photobucket.com/albums/rr303/namtuoc06/bando.jpg
Mount: Phoenix (Remember that you cannot attack while riding a mount)
Phoenix lvl 40 - increase moving speed 40%
http://i494.photobucket.com/albums/rr303/namtuoc06/blue-phoenix.gif
Phoenix lvl 60 - increase moving speed 70% ( and expensive too :mad:)
http://i494.photobucket.com/albums/rr303/namtuoc06/Red-phoenix.gif
Weapons: One handed sword/ dual swords.
In Dragon Oath, Lotus Order are normally buffers, but also very strong at pvp as well.
Lotus Order are In. and range attack.
(Taoist, Voodoo, Royalty, Minstrel are also In. and range attack)
WHY CHOOSE LOTUS ORDER?
- don't skip this ^^
Advantage:
- Defense: Lotus Order is one of the class have the highest In. Defense (Magical Defense). Can heal themselves and their partner.
- Offense: Come after Taoist, Lotus Order are nukers with very strong nukes, can finish their enemies easily.
- Aiding: Lotus Orders are the party's heart, w/out L.O it's very hard to train and do other stuff like killing bosses and events.
Disadvantage
- Very few attack skills.
- Because L.O's buffing advantage, enemies will seek for them to kill 1st.
- No AOE -> hard to do Solo-Train/ Quests.
- No effects like Rolyalty, assassins ...
BUILDING YOUR LOTUS ORDER
Starting from lvl 30, you'll have stat point to add.
- Full VIT: Most gamers choose to build their L.O this way. Because of a skill that buffs HP by % of your HP, full VIT can help that skill buff more HP. Also, increase Ex. Defense(Physical defense). This way, you can be confident of being a Tanker and Buffer at the same time in guild wars and other wars involve a lot of people.

-Full INT: This way your L.O will have a lot of MP for buffs( while 1 vs 1 on combat stage, you'll probably run out of MP -> thats mean you cannot buff -> die). Also, increase In. Attack(Magical attack) and In. Defense(Magical Defense).

-Full DEX: This way will increase your L.O accuracy. Having less chance of "MISS" ( like Beggars Allience have the highest dodging rate).
So these 3 build are most common for L.O. If you think these are not good, you can build your own way.

For the skills, lvling, pets I will continue update when i have those information. If you have any questions, just ask. I'm happy to help.
^^!

Here's a video, shows that L.O are not just buffers!

what is Ex defense and In defense? also, i just want to be clear, you are saying that beggars have the highest dodge, not assassins?

[Sanity]

Anyone got a english version of the skills and what they do? this way we can find possible builds for each class, beggars with more dodge then assassins :confused: something not right there, unless it's a typo....

[Nigel]

...beggars with more dodge then assassins :confused: something not right there, unless it's a typo....

that's what i'm thinking. the beggar description makes them sound more attack and strength oriented.

[blackconan]

It true beggar got more dodge then assassins ( cough) And in defense mean defesnes against magic and ex defense mean defense against physical attack

[swithme]

My bad, I didn't explain In. and Ex. :]
Thank you very much blackconan ^^
1 more time:
- In. Attack : Magical attack
- In. Defense: Magical defense
- Ex. Attack : Physical attack
- Ex. Defense: Physical Defense.
And yes, beggars do have the highest dodge rate. Assassins have high crit rate.
hmmm ... I'll edit the guide. Thank you blackconan :]

[Nigel]

thanks for clearing things up. wasn't interested in the beggar class before, but might try them after i try lotus out. how do the lotus weapons affect their casting? for example, does the one handed sword speed up casting or the two handed sword provide more damage?

Hmm ... I would say that weapons do not affect skill casting time of ANY classes, and weapons at the same level have the same In. and Ex. attack.
- To know which weapon is stronger, we look at their options.

[Untamed]

Anything from the english version of the game can't be posted here, that includes skills.

[swithme]

Pheww ... thanks for the information ^^ i was gonna post them skills xD

[Avagddu]

So I'm thinking that a sort of Party Lotus Order might want to go something like, Full VIT, and Full INT, instead of adding the dex? But a Lotus Order that wants to solo a bit more might go with dex, like you said. Seems to me that the Lotus Order is the cleric, so I think clerics won't usually be soloing or hitting as much as they're healing. Well, it all depends on how the game works, which I don't know about yet XD

[swithme]

Later in game u'll realize that there are more L.O than any clases cuz of their power >:]

[Avagddu]

I'm betting a Shaolin could beat a Lotus Order :D

[blackconan]

Just wait for me i'll be the most feared voodoo in the game ahahhaahah.....(laughter die off)

[swithme]

A video's coming up: 1 Lotus Order 71 vs 1 Taoist 75.

[swithme]

Video posted. plz check page 1
^^~

[Avagddu]

Oh god, that lotus order was awesome. Well, the first class I'm choosing is still going to be Minstrel. Then I might choose Lotus Order or Shaolin. But 100% sure I'll be using Minstrel.

[swithme]

Well, a Minstrel guide's coming up! ^^

[vatb]

I'm betting a Shaolin could beat a Lotus Order

LoL i hope your Shaolin blood is almost 220K LOL Im not saying Shaolin isn't good but all i can tell you is once you step into the game vs a pro Lotus(Mage) then you will know.
A 220K blood Shaolin cant even take on a 100K blood Lotus

PK is base on a person control and experienced and stone and PK skill.Im not saying every Shaolin loose to Lotus what im saying is "It's likely 80% Shaolin affaird of Lotus"

[swithme]

A 220K blood Shaolin cant even take on a 100K blood Lotus
really? :]

[vatb]

:) Yes. Without pet..Kinda disapointing watching it..a level 95 Monk with level 5-6 full vs Lotus 5-6 LOL

[Wanfei]

-Full INT: This way your L.O will have a lot of MP for buffs( while 1 vs 1 on combat stage, you'll probably run out of MP -> thats mean you cannot buff -> die). Also, increase In. Attack(Magical attack) and In. Defense(Magical Defense).



Isn't INT used for Spi Attack, and WPO is used for MP?

[firefist]

Isn't INT used for Spi Attack, and WPO is used for MP?

Yea from what I know, INT only boost Spirit attack, WPO is the attribute that boosts MP and Spirit Defense.

[Lorenda]

Btw, srry for my bad english :]

You're kidding right? I think your English is great and I applaud you for learning it well. I admire people that learn more than one language :)
