Notes from author
Challenging but highly effective DEX-INT hybrid build for both PVE and PVP.
PVP tactic is to use crystal magic on Ricard's Rapier for ultra-quick, good-damage jabs while keeping enemies constantly on their toes with occasional spells (dark bead in particular).
Ricard's Rapier has excellent, very-fast moves that can absolutely destroy most players with mid-heavy armor and hard-hitting 2H weapons. On other light-armored, fast-rolling players, the rapier also has a move-set which will dodge and attack at the same time, giving you an upper hand against backstabbers when executed properly. Right-trigger attacks can be totally devastating on unsuspecting victims, though it leaves you open to BS if you miss.
Soulmass is used almost exclusively to keep enemies on the defensive, but also to give you a chance to re-up on health and crystal magic weapon in prolonged battles. Dark Bead can be used against turtles and other mages, who I've found is best to fight \\"fire with fire\\" against.
Overall very fast, versatile, capable of dealing massive damage quickly without relying on backstabs, counters, or \\"cheap\\" spells. Most likely not for beginners, but very rewarding ultimately.
