All about an Aran

Hello. I'd like to ask everyone if you could give me informations about how an Aran should be, AP build and skill build-wise.

When should I cap my DEX? What equips should I buy to not MISS everytime even if I'm low-dex? What's a good skill build for Arans? I'm planning to make one when it comes out on GMS, so.. yeah.

Thanks in advance!

Look for a warrior AP build, it's pretty much the same.

Dexless = as much acc as you can get.
Normal dex = not as much acc and more str.
High dex = str equips up the ass.

AP just like a normal warrior - pump STR, and enough DEX to hit things with your equips. for aran, i think speed is important aswell to keep up the combo up, so getting like 10 speed shoes wouldn't be a bad idea.
as for equips... all the usual equips - Zhelm, PAC, att WG. dex\str scrolled overall, or top\bottom if you're rich enough. acc\speed shoes.
as for skill build, i'd follow this: http://www.ellinforest.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2345

Would a higher-than-low-dex build be viable? since they deal damage pretty fast and combos are easier i assume to get higher with lower damage.

There's no such thing as being higher than low-dex. It's whatever you need to hit stuff, based on your equips. Could be anywhere from 4-100, depending on what you're using. There's no problem with having more STR gear and adding more base DEX, though. It's just less efficient.

Still, the less damage you do is going to be less DPM you do. Killing slower to kill faster doesn't make sense, you're just going to lose damage and burn more pots. Faster kills just means you'll get to sweep the map faster, you should still be able to keep up your combo as long as you have enough speed. Also, more damage means more health drained from enemies
Basically, cap your dex as low as possible and use primarily accuracy and dex equips. Not like it's that hard anymore, either. Blessing, medals, maker, and belts all help cut the cost. Still more expensive, but if you can, go for it. Mine's definitely going to be dexless.
I'm not a damage whore, I just think more damage when possible is an obvious choice.

Capped my DEX at 30, equips all together I have 81. I can Kent perfectly with a Karstan, pills help too.

Skill build for Aran is kinda depended on the order you get skills, you only save for one.

1st job you max all but booster, booster stays at 16. (+3 speed there)
2nd job you max all but the rush like skill;
triple some -> mastery -> triple -> save4smash -> smash -> drain -> body pressure -> rush

3rd job is controversial, dependent on your training group.
