INT DEX VIT GC HEAL CRUSADER
STATUS
Status Calculator
Str = 4 + 7 + 2 = 13 = Weight Limit: 3920
Agi = 1 + 2 = 3
Vit = 33 + 7 = 40
Int = 99 + 6 + 3 + 4 = 112
Dex = 89 + 3 = 92 or = 89 + 3 + 8 = 100 = 1 sec GC
Luk = 10 + 5 = 15 = 2 ATK
As can be seen from the status above, this build aims to reduce the casting time of Grandcross as much as possible while still maintance the balance of the other status.
Less Casting time = Less Damage receive from the mob = More Damage per second
As a result, the less casting time, the better GC Crusader you are going to be. However, lower vit means you will be affected by the status such as stun easier. So, be aware of that.
================================================== ================
SKILLS
Skill Simulator
As can be seen above, this build is a Heal GC Crusader. The reson for that is it helps you to get best out of your Int Status and can overcome the problem from a lower weight capacity. At job 50, you'll have 3 points to put anywhere you like. I would suggest you to put it in Lv3 Auto guard. However, keep it in mind that if auto guard blocks the damage from the mob while you're casint GC then it will cancel one of your GC Hit which means it's going to be only 2 hits instead of 3 hits. As a result just don't use Autoguard while you're going to do the GC.
================================================== ==================
Advantages.
- high damage with a balance status.
- This build can do well in all situation. PvP, WoE, PvM
- In WoE, you main duty is to guard EMP Stone. Most of LK will be using ED Armor and stand still in front of it which means your GC will be extreamly useful their especially if you have bragi poem to help you to reduce the delay of your own GC.
- It can level up a lots faster than a pure Int Vit crusader.
- In PvP, WoE, you'll be very strong against those magic spell.
- Your casting time is fast enough to kill people. However, it's still better to stun them first before casing GC since they can still using hiding to avoid your GC.
Disadvantages.
- You need quit a lot of money to start for this build. However, it's a kind of good investment to you coz a lot of zeny will come back to you later on.
- You could be affected by lots of status such as stun, curse, posion, etc. So, be ready for it and have royal jelly in your pocket at all time.
- You Max HP is quite low so you have to be very careful especially in PvP and WoE.
================================================== ==========================
Performance of this build. (At INT = 112)
This is how my status in TRO looks like when I was a GC Crusader a few years ago. However, it's not the best one coz it's still got some error on it.
As can be seen above, if I want to have a fast casting time then I can use 2x glove + zerom card. But if I want to have a high Int, I can also get my Int of up to 112 as well.
I'm using a +7 Chainmail with corcutus card inside in order to prevent Abysmal Knights to destroy my armor.
Total Int of 112

How to calculate for the grandcross power
Total Damage of Grandcross = (Atk + MAtk) x Level of Skills x Element of monsters
Atk that has been use in the formula is coming from
Atk = Str + Bonus Atk from Str + Bonus Atk from Dex + Bonus Atk from Luck + Bonus from Atk Card + Over upgraded Weapon Bonus
It has been proved that +8 Headongum are doing the avg damage higher than +5 Headongum but not by a significant number. Consequently, if you don't have lots of money then you don't need to buy the over upgraged one.
MAtk that has been use in the formula is coming from
Matk = The value that is coming from the range between Min MAtk and Max MAtk
Min Matk = Int+ (Int/7)^2
Max Matk = Int + (Int/5)^2

How to distribute the status???
INT DEX VIT GC CRUSADER
START: Str 9 Vit 9 Luk 9
1. Increase your Vit upto 33
2. Increase your Dex upto 27
3. Increase your Int upto 90
4. Increase your Dex upto 80
5. Increase your Int upto 99
6. Increase your Dex upto 89
7. Increase the rest of you status upto the maximum.
Try to balance your status as well as your equipment. Try to get the bonus from int first and then your second aim is trying to get your dex as higher as possible at that level. For example if your Int is already hits the bonus then you might not need to use earring at that level. The best way is to equip Glove Zerom in order to increase your casting time.
Your Maximum HP might be low but in PvM it doesn't really effected your build that much coz you will kill those monsters very fast and hurt less that it supposes to be. For example at Dex of around 80, Raydrics can hit you only once or if you have a good technic and understand how to cast GC while keeping the distance you might not hurt at all.

How to dress up in PvM situation???
Weapon
Haedonggum + 2 andre for doing GC
GEARS
Formal Suit or Silk Robe + Status Card such as Pest Card for stone curse or Demon Pungus for sleep status. About armor try to pick the light weight armor such as formal suit or silk robe since you have a low weight capacity.
Boot + Verit Card, +9 Firelock Boots, Eggyra Sandle to use when you're sitting.
Mirrow Shield or Shield + Card depend on the monster that you want to flight against.
Manteau + Raydric Card - If you can't afford to buy it yet, you can use a Ragamuffin Manteau instead.
Accessory
2 celebrant's mittens when your Int is lower than 60
Then after that you can change to earring
Try to make it matchs with the bonus. If 2 earring can help you to hit the int bonus then use earring, if not, use 2 x clip (Glove) zeroms
================================================== ================
Where to level???
At around Lv 80 you can start hunting Raydric in this map. "gl_knt01". Acutally it depends on your int if you can kill one raydric within one GC then you can level up in this map already no matte which level you're at. 1 raydric at lower lv could means lots of Exp that you would get.
Link to GL_Knt01 Map
This map has a good number of Raydric, Raydric archer and Khalitzburg. However, try not to get yourself into the left side of the map coz in that location it has a lot of Rideword which is not good to kill with GC. Keep yourself safe in the right part of the map. You can level here until lv 85+ before going up to the second level.
Link to GL_Knt02 Map
[img]http://www.roempire.com/database/images/maps/dungeon/big/gl_knt02.gif[/imb]
This is the best map if you aim to solo your GC Crusader. You can use this map to level upto lv99 easily. This map gives you both exp as well as the rare items. However if you feel bord to level at the same map everyday then you could go to the other map such as
Link to nif_fild02 Map
This map is also a good place for GC Crusader to level up but the drop rate is not as good as GL_Knt02 Map. As a result, sooner or later you'll find yourself getting back to GL_Knt02 Map once again.
In my opinion, this map, GL_Knt02, is the best map if you're looking for both exp and zeny. My grandcross crusader does grandcross like crazy in this map and got at least 1 rare item before going back to kafra. So, what else would you asking for???
However, in case that you have someone to party with then these maps below could also be your target.
Link to gl_cas02 Map
A few player in one party is recommended. However, at lv95+ you can level up here with priest easily and earn very high exp/hr here.
The other place is in geffen dungeon.
Link for gld_dun04 Map
This map is only recommended when you have at least 5 people in your party especially if you don't have hight prist in your party you might fell yourself death easily. Assumption is the most important skill to reduce the damage that you would receive here. Be aware of mini demon coz you might need to case upto 4 GCs to kill them.
Zombie Master is your main target here coz you can kill them within 1 GC easily.
Wraith Dead is also your target. Only 2 GCs can kill them as well.
Indeed, comparing between both maps in term of level up with party, I would still prefer to level up at gl_cas02 coz you can level up here easily with only 1 priest and even better with high priest. Only 2 people in one party and not to die oftenly is better in my opinion.
================================================== ==========================
PVP & WOE SECTION
HOW TO DRESS UP IN PVP & WOE???
In PvP & WoE, you might need a few set of equipment to suit the situation depends on who is your target.
MDEF GEARS
As can be seen above, if your target is High Wizard or Scholar and you want to flight them in 1-1 situation then you can dress up as above. The mdef gears will give you upto 60 Mdef and when you use it together with Endure lv10 in PvP you mdef can be as high as 70% + you int of 100+. With this set of Armor those magic speller will be crying infront of you.
This set is good in WoE as well in the situation that you have to break the defend. Higher Mdef means that you'll hurt less by magic spell and AOE spell. Then when you run pass the defend area you can switch to use poo poo hat and a green boots later on.
================================================== ===========
Which card to put into Armor in PvP & WoE?
The best card to use in WoE is a marc card for sure. This card help you to get rid the problem from being frozen. However, in PvP you might need some other useful card to help you kill your enermy easier.
In PvP, in case that your target can't froze you then what is the point to use unfrozen armor right?? So, in this case which card is the best for you???
1. Pest Card - This card will make those who attacking you by physical attack to have chance of being stone curse. The chance of your target being stone curse is upto 30% for GC Crusader who has their int upto 77 (count only the front number) or else 10% chance. Then when they're affected by stonecurse you GC will be dealing a higher damage and your target can't move away from you as well. However, if they're not effected by stone curse this also mean they're using ED Armor so this is already sweet for you as well. What a nice card for GC crusader !!!!
2. Demon Pungus - This card is good to use with those low Int Charactor such as SinX, Hunter, Master Smith. However I still prefer a pest card.
================================================== ===============
What is the general gears to use in all situation?
Head - Poo Poo Hat, Drooping Cat
Middle Head - Fin Helm
Lower Head - Iron Chain
Armor - Formal Suit or Silk robe + Marc Card, Pest Card
Shield - Mirrow Shield + Thara Frog Card
Weapon - Haedonggum + 2 x andre card or 2 x zipper bear card
Shose - Boots + Fire lock card, Matyr card, Verit card & Crystal pumps
Robe - Manteau + Raydric Card & Muff + Frilldora card, Jakk Card & Ragamuffin Manteau (Mdef +10)
Accessory - 2 x Earring, 2x Glove Zerom, 2. Rosary Zerom, 2 x Earring Zerom card (The best choice)
