Stat build recommendations
To maximize effectiveness, the following stat allocations are recommended:
For PvE (farming and boss hunting)
- Strength: 40%
- Energy: 30%

For PvP (arena and guild wars)
- Strength: 50%

This balance allows for both strong personal DPS and effective support from pets.
Equipment guidelines
Early in progression, consider using the Dark Steel Set for added survivability. As you advance, the Black Dragon Set becomes a strong mid-to-late game option, providing better stats and scaling.
When choosing gear, prioritize items that offer:

Command-boosting accessories can also significantly increase your effectiveness, especially in party scenarios.

- Prioritize upgrading Summon Dark Horse early, as it provides both mobility and additional tanking.

- Electric Spark is particularly effective in PvP when combined with mobility and positioning.
