Hey guys this is the continuation of my family build guide, hope you'll like it.

Wizard+Musketeer+Scout
This build is hard to fight at range because of the musketeer not to mention that this build could disable you with the wizards levitation stance and there is a scout that supports them you can be sure that this family is going to be a formidable foe.

Pros: This build can level faster at later stages because of the levitation stance that the wizard have, you can strut your way to higher level monster without being touch.
Cons: This build has a weakness and that is the birdfall spell of the musketeer.

Musketeer+Musketeer+Musketeer
This build came from the famous "Three Musketeer", for some this build would look funny but you wont be laughing once your facing the tip of their rifle.

Pros: This build can be very hard to fight because they are range attackers but don't get to cocky if your fighting them up close because musketeers have skills for close combat and that is the "close encounter" stance.
Cons: This build has a low elemental resistance once this family gets bombarded with element spells they will be pulverized.

Wizard+Elementalist+Elementalist
This build is much like the Wizard+Elementalist+Fighter only it has more AoE element spells and that means more mobs you can kill.

Pros: This family can take out most mobs faster than other families and can level much faster at higher levels, just find a safe spot and take out those mobs.
Cons: This family is weak at earlier stage and easy to die you must rely on potions which is expensive for beginners because you start without any vis.

thats it for now guys you can experiment with other family builds and try also those rNPC's they have unique stances that you wont see with other characters.
If you do have a build that you think is good try posting it at the comment box thanks.

Cant decide which character to use heres a quick guide of family that I experimented with;

Musketeer+Musketeer+Scout
Why 2 musketeer? for me musketeers has the highest damage in the game and they attack from afar, so before the enemies could touch them they'll be dead and if ever they come near there will be a scout to support the 2 musketeer.

Pros: This family build can keep the monsters at bay and can attack mobs without being touch.
Cons: This builds weakness is its scout once you attack the healer the musketeers will be left vulnerable aside from that this family is expensive at early stages because it needs a lot of bullets.

Fighter+Musketeer+Scout
This must be the most common family build, where it consists of a tanker, a range attacker and a healer. If your looking for a well balanced family this is build is what your looking for.

Pros: This family can be a very tough opponent in pvp, because its well balanced its hard to look for a weakness.
Cons: This family has a low elemental resistance because its purely physical even if the fighter has a high hp and defense it will be ignored because of its lack in elemental resistance.

Elementalist+Elementalist+Elementalist
This family has a high damage percentage because it has all the elements at its command have each Elementalist a specified element to master and this family will be very formidable.

Pros: Giving out high damage and taking out mobs is not a problem for this build because of its spells. This family is very fast to level, just go to the dungeons and take out those mobs.
Cons: This family is way too expensive, because it has no healer you have to rely on potions aside from that you have to buy elemental orbs so you can cast your spells.

Musketeer+Scout+Scout
This family is one of my favorites, its much like the fighter+musketeer+scout build but this one is much convenient to use because it has 2 healers, you must equip the other scout with a dagger (its up to you whether you use a double or a single dagger) and just use its heal manually, make the other one a support type so that you can leave it on patrol mode.

Pros: this build is very fast specially when you let the musketeer use a pistol.
Cons: this build cant take out large mobs because most of its spells are for single enemies only.

Wizard+Elementalist+Fighter
This family relies purely on magic spells to kill its opponents, this build is very powerful when its level is very high because of the wizards levitation stance just cast spells on monster once your in the air and you'll be almost untouchable.

Pros: Can take out large mobs quickly because of the AoE spells and your unreachable because of the levitation stance of the wizard.
Cons: This family build is very weak at early stages because of low hp that the wizard and elementalist have.

I will have other family builds post up in couple of days so watch out for it...

Hack your way to level up..

I started playing GE (Granado Espada; well thats what they call it inside the game) the other day and i was amazed by its gameplay, at first i had a hard time controlling my characters because I was scrolling through each one of them as i kill monsters, so I tinker with the controls trying to find something that would make me more comfortable and I found the auto attack mode, heres how it works you place your characters where there are lots of monsters and you press the spacebar button and let your characters do their work; heres a suggestion if your just gonna leave your character on that place make sure that the monsters are the same level as you or 2 levels higher and make sure you have a scout in the family so you'll have a healer if your health is going down, but don't equip him with a dagger cause he'll just attack and will not heal your other characters;

Now that i explained some of the basics in controlling your character lets tackle where you should go to level your character and at the same time finish some of your quests. Go outside of the Reboldoeux Queens gate and head towards the Reboldoeux Stone Pit and start hacking monsters on your way (oh before i forget you can hold the ctrl button and click on the destination you want to go and your characters will attack any monsters on their way) you should kill mandradoras because this monsters are part of the quest that Andre will give you, now that your done killing those plants and your level is 5-6, you should go to Ferrucio Junction and Smash those leaping alligators (where the hell can you see an alligator that leaps, cute!!),when your finish with those alligator and your level is atleast 9-10 your ready to take on those monster at Al Quelt Moreza, fight your way to the dungeon but be cautious with these monsters they mean business, the spawn time is way out of the scale but don't worry there are lots of people there willing to give out a hand and take out most of your monsters (well at times its okay but when your in a rush to level its a pain in the ass), heres a hint for you to level faster before you go in deeper inside the dungeon you should talk to the NPC at the entrance and take on the quests this will give you exp card that will help you to level your family alot faster, after getting the quests find a good spot for your characters and start smashing monsters when your level is 14-15 you should strutting your way to dungeon level 2 as I told you be very cautious at level 2 there are bosses here that has AoE skills so don't leave your characters cause it will surely die, if you get the chance to kill a boss do it because they will drop vouchers that you can exchange at the hendgestone.

well this is as far as I'll go for now wait for my next post and don't forget to comment here thanks
