This build will focus on Sacrifice too but the speed will be decent, player will nid to use mastela as a replacement to white pots with such a low weights limitation. It function about the same with pure sacrifice build but will be more agressive toward it's enemy. Consume only mastela cos ur str is pathetically low for white pots.

Spear Quicken 9

Pro: u Sac with fair damage and high speed, for now it's roughly 200-1000 damage per sac if u using trident and 700-2000 damage if u using 3 hydra 1 skel main gauche. When new sacrifice formula implement, with 3 hydra trident u can deal at least 2k-4.3k damage depends on enemy eq and 2.7k-5k when using 3 hydra 1 skel.

Con: Cant kill GR, less shield skill, not really suitable for current patch, consume only mastela cos ur str is pathetically low for white pots.

*I made this build n test in a private server where the sacrifice formula work properly(after tested with my current paladin build, the sac in private work the same n deal same damage)

U can find screenie here showing the new formula using 3 hydra - http://img259.echo.cx/img259/1339/screeneva0052ed.jpg

This build must tag with Angeling Armor due to the lack of vit. The build allows player to cast GC at 0.8sec with zerom glove and cast GC at 1sec without zerom glove. Players are able to choose either 120int or 125int build by replacing the accesories. The main point of the build is to cast fast and don't allow enemy to escape from the GC thus able to cast 2nd wave fast to finish off the opponent.

This is a build where u will cast GC at the speed of 1.2sec, u able to cast better damage and also having higher vit. The build are for those who cant afford an angeling, or wish to have more hp even they using angeling card. It can be a very handy expecially for killing enemy around emperium during woe, but performance in pvp might not be as good compare to high dex GC paladin as it might let enemy to run off b4 the cast is complete. It's advised to cast the GC when ur partner is parrying with enemy so u will able to assist in the killing.
