Courtsjester's (pre)Brawler Guide

Here is my guide for the (solo)pirates who are going to become brawler. This guide sets up your character a little different, so i would suggest looking at more than just this guide before deciding how you are going to build your character. im not going to go over how to level, mainly because i do a lot of questing, not just grinding, so level however you want. k, here we go.

In order to become a Pirate, you need to be lvl 10, and have 20 dex. so get this outta the way first when on maple island. continue putting points into dex until you take your job (pirate) because your stats will be reset into 20 DEX, 5 STR and you will have a bunch of points. PUT THEM ALL INTO STR!!! if your going to be a brawler, you need high strength. This is where the AP distribution will deffer a bit. Keep putting all your points into STR until you hit lvl 14. You wanna keep your dex equal to 1 1/2 your level rounded up. this sounds a little complicated, and it is, but its not that hard. At lvl 13, 1 1/2 your level rounded up is 20 (half of 13 is 6.5, rounded up is 7. 13+7 equals 20) but since your beginning DEX is 20, you dont have to change it until lvl 14. This DEX setup gives you the best of both worlds. it will give you STR higher than the normal DEX setup, and Better accuracy than the lowDEX settup. Besides the points you put into DEX, throw the rest into STR

NOTE:: You can use the standard low dex setup of lvl+5, meaning you wont touch your dex until lvl 16. the setup above is just something to consider.

Now for the SP distribution. i differ a little here too, you will see why.

lvl 10 Bullet Time [1]
lvl 11 Bullet Time [2] }

      Flash Fist      [1] }this gives you access to attack skills when leveling Bullet Time

      Somersault Kick [1] }

lvl 12 Bullet Time [5]
lvl 13 Bullet Time [8]
lvl 14 Bullet Time [11]
lvl 15 Bullet Time [14]
lvl 16 Bullet Time [17]
lvl 17 Bullet Time [20/maxed]
lvl 18 Flash Fist [3]

      Dash            [1]

lvl 19 Flash Fist [5]

      Dash            [2]

lvl 20 Flash Fist [7]

      Dash            [3]

lvl 21 Flash Fist [9]

      Dash            [4]

lvl 22 Flash Fist [11]

      Dash            [5]

lvl 23 Flash Fist [13]

      Dash            [6]

lvl 24 Flash Fist [15]

      Dash            [7]

lvl 25 Flash Fist [17]

      Dash            [8]

lvl 26 Flash Fist [19]

      Dash            [9]

lvl 27 Flash Fist [20/maxed]

      Dash            [10/maxed]

      Somersault Kick [2]

lvl 28 Somersault Kick [5]
lvl 29 Somersault Kick [8]
lvl 30 Somersault Kick [11]

Now alot of people won't like this for a couple reasons. 1st is that it doesnt max out somersault kick. but for the soloing pirate, he doesn't need to clear mobs all the time, and at lvl 11 you hit 5 monsters at a time, not bad, you just dont do max damage. second is that you dont max out what is considered THE preBrawler skill until lvl 27. but again, the soloing pirate would want to travel faster as to get to quests faster. and third, the fact that it uses dash at all, but as i just explained, its for solo travel purposes.
