[GUIDE] Buff properly! - EmmE - Wednesday, June 3rd, 2020
NOTE! THIS GUIDE IS MADE BY REDORB IN AUG 10, 2007.
Are you new to IA and you Do Not know how to buff? please read!
Mage standard buffs
Wind Walk, Mental Aegis, Resist shock, Magic Barrier, Shield, Bless the Body, Acumen, Berserker Spirit, Empower, Wild Magic, Song of Earth, Song of Vitality, Song of Warding, Dance of Mystic, Dance of Concentration, Dance of Vampire, Prophecy of Wind.
Tip: the buff sets also depend on what you are going to do, are you going to PVP a WC, SK or anything that has para it is obvious you should buff Song of Invocation and/or Divine Protection. If you have a character that does NOT have body to mind or QMP I recommend you buffing Song life and Regeneration (Song of Life's effect is stronger than Regeneration's effect).
Archer standard buffs
Song of Life, Haste, Wind Walk, Magic Barrier, Shield, Bless the Body, Focus, Death whisper, Berserker Spirit, Might, Song of Earth, Song of Hunter, Song of Warding, Song of Vitality, Dance of Fire, Dance of Fury, Dance of Vampire, Dance of Warrior, Prophecy of Fire.
Tip: you can consider dropping Berserker Spirit depending on what character you will PVP and/or where you will farm.
Dagger standard buffs
Song of Life, Resist shock, Mental Aegis, Song of Invocation, Wind Walk, Haste, Shield, Bless the Body, Focus, Song of Hunter, Song of Vitality, Song of Warding, Dance of Fury, Prophecy of Water
Tip: daggers on IA are meant to deal their damage with blows: Might, Dance of Warrior, Death Whisper and Dance of Fire DO NOT affect your blow damage so please DO NOT buff these buffs unless you are low level and you hit with melee hits. Dagger skills reuse time is based upon your attack speed. If you think your character does its skills to slow you can consider buffing Dance of Vampire and Berserker Spirit. Blow success rate is based upon your crit rate, if your crit rate is higher than 400 then you are fine (so just make sure you are around 400 crit rate). So for example if you are a hero PW you will have 400+ crit rate without crit rate buffs so do not buff these buffs and buff other buffs instead (Divine protection, Dance of earth, Elemental protection etc). Depending on which dagger class you will play you will buff different buffs: for example on AW's and TH's its pretty useless to buff evasion buffs (just use Ultimate Evasion when needed and you will still have 190 eva or so). You might even try to buff M.atk and/or Casting speed buffs on AWs and PWs but you should know that M.atk buffs won't make you land everything on anyone (especially on donaters)
Warrior standard buffs
Wind Walk, Haste, Magic Barrier, Shield, Bless the Body, Berserker Spirit, Focus, Death Whisper, Might, Song of Earth, Song of Hunter, Song of Vitality, Song of Warding, Dance of Fury, Dance of Warrior, Dance of Fire, Dance of Vampire, Prophecy of Fire.
Tip: gladiators and warlords have battle roar which will take up an extra buff slot, please consider dropping Dance of Vampire and/or Berserker Spirit. Is your MP dropping too fast? If yes, consider dropping Dance of Vampire and/or Berserker Spirit and buff Regen buffs (don't forget Song of Life's effect is stronger than Regeneration's effect). You can also buff Prophecy of Water instead of Prophecy of Fire.
If you are playing a destroyer with a sword (so that means doing skills all the time) --> look at the buffset for Daggers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to know why I put Haste and Wind Walk in the beginning of every buffset --> it's because in IA we have potions that have same effect as the buffs Haste and Wind Walk so when you lose those buffs it's not a big deal. You can just buy these pots and use them with having the same effect! So do not forget always having those with you during PVP.
Also, depending on which armor you are using you can add or drop buffs, for example if you are using Majestic you can consider dropping Resist shock, same goes for Royal Drake, if you are using Royal Drake you can consider dropping Divine Protection and Resist shock and so on.

Equipment tweak:
For the price conscious: lunar ring 2 magic attack def only costs 2K GP
Not so price conscious: seers ring 4 magic attack def 500K
Also, barrows gloves if you have them.
Otherwise Good guide.
