Introduction
This build will focus on PvE elements only. This means if you are looking to PvP any at all, it is highly suggested to look at the PvP or Hybrid build. This build also focuses on your Faction Felkin Affinity skills so you can max them out.
Why Courage skill??!?!?!
Its a PvE build, thats why. You have some of those people who say the little increase doesn't matter, but it is something regardless. For a person who is not going to PvP, there is no need for Vigilance.
Why is Scent of Darkness maxed?!?!?!
This is a skill you will use when grinding. It will make the killing process go faster as it adds 7% critstrike (Off the top of my head, may be wrong) rate. The SP cost isn't much and using something like Dance of The Butterflies, Jeden Shadow, Seductive Brush, Forgotten Dreams will waste your SP like no other. If you like to waste your gold, then by all means, spam those skills.
No Thicken Blood or Ancient Prayer??!?!?!
I guess you can't read, see, or hear. This is a PvE build. Tell me, what are you going to be using thicken blood for when you pvp nobody? Ancient Prayer? I think you should slap yourself for that one.
Why Without Regret?
The real question is, why not? Sure, when maxed, it only lasts 18 seconds and gives a 12% critstrike rate, but depending on how you use it may make things a bit faster depending on what you're doing. Am I being vague? I'm known to do that. I don't like telling people how to play game really and some are just too stubborn to listen to you anyways.
Why is Blessing of Spring not maxed?!?
Even when tomed, the duration is not long. If you plan to AoE with Shadow of Hope, it doesn't last long. Lastly, you won't be PvPing so you can distribute the points anywhere. In this case, I just gave it 2 points because there was no other skill I found note worthy for PvE.
Why Shadow of Hope? And why is it not maxed? And why does the build not have the tome?
1. In case you want to AoE grind
2. Its not maxed because the damage difference between 1 <=> 4 is so small, you won't even notice.
3. Its not in the tome because there were other things that were important. If you want it in your tome, re-arrange the tome to your liking so it has Askandi Breeze 3/3.
Tome Picture Corrections
Lost Love should be 4/4, I keep thinking its 3/3 all the time.
Lost Way should be 0/2.
Tome Modifications
With this build, there are some modifications you can make since there was about 6 free tome points basically. For those who don't like the fact that I put 2 points into Lingering Fragrance, you can distribute those points elsewhere. Lets say you hate "Without Regret." Then take away Lingering Fragrance and Lost Way and you can distribute them elsewhere. There really isn't any reason to put them elsewhere for this build which is why I did the tome that way. If evasion is your thing, get the Sounds of Nature line so you can refresh Fantasy every 60 or 44.5 secs. In return, you have to have lost love at 3/4 instead of 4/4
You may also want to get the Malovent Orchid tome and get the extra critstrike rate for Scent of Darkness too so its up to you.
Charms Needed
Inexpressable Sorrow
Lost Love
Prudence
Numbness
Misleading Illusion
Skills on Esper
Lovesickness (Important!)
Scent of Darkness (Important!)
Seductive Brush (Not as important)
Forgotten Dream (Not as important)
Frozen Memories (Important!)
Lovesickness must be on your esper to make the grinding process easier. After that, just try getting Frozen Memories on your esper.
Best Esper?
Golden Gourd. Try to get the skill at lvl 3. Its good because of the skill itself. I don't think I have to explain myself.
Pet Type
Flowen with heal ability.
Cave Grinding Strategy
Have lost love charm on and Scent of Darkness in esper bar. If you are a evasion build, you should be getting some misses and if with Lovesickness maxed + your pet healing you, pot usage should be minimal. Depends on gear really.
Conclusion
This build can be used in PvP, but I don't recommend it. I have used many PvE builds in the past that basically slaughtered my foes in PvP so its not like you can't kill anyone. Its just a build focus on PvE only.
