Ok, today I am gonna share some light on my second favourite character, the Auto-Bolt Professor.
Seriously, the DPS on this build is off the charts and can easily beat all other solo-chars. The solo-capability on this char is amazing and I could easily kill mobs like Frus, Fanat, Aliots and Titans using a single click. Moreover, this was the only char which could duo Thors 3 using just a Priest as backup.
Pros:
- Awesome DPS with almost no investment.
- I believe it is the only class which can reach 99/70 solo, without any equips(umm except maybe a TU High Priest).
- Unlimited SP and HP regen(with Kahi).
- Excellent survival (~80%) resistance + Kahi
- Click-to-win.
- One of the best chars to provide leech services.
- Autobolt Prof can easily kill some annoying monsters like Alicel, Wanderer, Fanat, Elder, Ancient Mimic...
- Can solo-camp Amon-Ra 24x7(aww yes the OCAs).
Cons:
- Needs 3m investment which might be a little hard on a fresh server.
- You need Link and Kahi buff every 10 mins.
- This build is pretty bad for party-play.
Build
Str: Leave it at 1. Its completely useless.
Agi: Invest a lot in agi since you need to max your Aspd.
Vit: You need a bit of HP to survive some skill attacks. Keep it around 25-40.
Int: Max it. I usually get 99 base int.
Dex: Please don't put any points into dex. Your bolts activate even if you miss. Unless you want to play a sp-slave in parties, keep it at 1.
Luk: Keep it at 1 please.
P.S: Few build are missing +3 agi on armor / loyal pet. Refer the Wushuang links.

Equipment
An auto-bolt professor can level easily with no equips. I prefer not wearing any equips unless it gives me a significant boost. It helps me save my weight for loots.
Headgear
Tiara[1]/Crown[1]: Any int headgear will help you with the damage.
Ulles Cap: If you are lacking Agi, go for this one. However, it is not really worth the money unless you are camping it yourself.
Valkyrie Helm[1]: Special mention for this headgear as you can farm all the materials easily as a Sage.
Dark Blinder: Gives you immunity to blind. Pretty useful, if you want to save few green pots.
Weapon
Book of the Dead: The best weapon for Auto-Bolt professor. People definitely won't buy this item, so it will be pretty cheap to buy one. Try to get it to +6-7 for good Aspd bonus.
Principles of Magic: This should be your filler weapon until you get your Book of the Dead.
Staff of Piercing: Switch to this weapon for High-Mdef monsters like Elder.
Unarmed: If you don't have the above 2 weapons, just kill unarmed since you will receive huge attack-speed boost.
Shield
Thorny Buckler: Invest in these for the Bison Horn Combo.
Magic Bible Vol1: A good shield if you are don't have the money for Bison Horn. You can slaughter Gajomart very easily as a sage.
Garment
Wool Scarf: I highly prefer wool scarf for the extra HP and Mdef bonus.
Footgear
Tidal Shoes: I prefer these for the combo.
Accessory
Bison Horn: One of the best accessory for Aspd. Insert your Creamy card into this one.
Brooch[1]: Use this for your secondary accessory if you need more Aspd.
Earring[1]: If your Aspd is maxed or rounded off, switch to earring for the extra int.
Cards
Weapon
Cecil Demon Card: Get these for maximum efficiency. You don't want to use any other cards, since they will have almost negligible effect on your build.
Centipede Larvae Card / Necromancer Card: If you some of these lying around, put it on your Principles of Magic.
Female Thief-Bug Card: These will be pretty cheap and 2 of them on your Principles of Magic will give you a boost to Aspd.
HeadGear
Elder Willow/Isilla Card: The default headgear card since it give you bonus +2 Int.
Marduk Card: Yea, I sometimes use this card for some really annoying monsters like Rachel Sance1/5
Myst-Case Card: The favourite card among Farmers. It always pays off the investment within 2-3 days.
Armor
Pest / Demon Pungus: I always prefer these cards since they remove some mob pressure on you. They are really helpful against certain annoying monsters like Gazeti in Ice Dungeon 3.
Shield
30% reduction Cards: Yep, No explanation needed.
Garment
Raydric: This is the only card you need to reduce damage.
Shoes
Matyr: The best card for your shoes. You will definitely need the extra HP to survive certain attacks (Brandish Spear for Ferus).
Accessory
Creamy: A must have item for Auto-Bolt Prof. It helps a lot in farming and should be your first item you should aim for. I generally farm it as soon as I change to Sage.
Siroma/Imp: Really helpful to boost your damage while using ColdBolt or FireBolt.
Orc-Archer/Green Iguana/Could Hermit: Any card which helps you with extra drops is really helpful while farming.
Male-Thief Bug: Use this if you want to reach the next Aspd.
Pets
Petite: Get this pet as it will provide you with bonus aspd.
Leveling
Coming Soon in a different post....
I had tons of fun playing this char. It doesn't really match a Whitesmith when if comes to MVP, but PVM is a breeze and tons of fun.
Try out this build and let me know how you feel about it.
