Equipment:
This is not an equipment guide, but i have to point out some important things for you to have a clear understand about character build.
In C2, how strong is your character depends on your gear. So you need to farm a (perfect bonuses) gear to max out your stat, and this will be all by luck and hardworking.
Every gears and accessories have random 2-5 options.
*The bonus options are same with all class except FB. But accessories have all the same bonuses among all classes.
Below is the example:
This is FB gear bonus options (only difference is the p.atk and m.atk combine into All atk).
Conclusion
As you can see, C2 is all about farming, Dungeon farming to get perfect gear to max out your stats.
Every classes have their strength and weakness, in KR force blader is still populated because they are cool.
This is just a reference, the most important is listen to you heart, enjoy the game!
Is your choice now to choose your best class for the upcoming CABAL 2.
Good luck!
