Newbie player saying hello and asking newbie questions :P

Hello all!

I started to play MxO few weeks ago. I have experience from other MMORPGs like Cito of Heroes and WoW. I thought that a melee fighter character would be the easiest to start with, especielly for soloing.

I read that Kung Fu is the most balanced from 10 on. How ever, the attributes may not be the best possible. From the Matrix Online Vault I think that I should concentrate on Belief and Perception. Belief gives bonuses to resist damage and viruses and dodging. Perception boosts melee combat damage and combat tactics.

How about focus? Focus enhances Combat Tactics and Viral Deflection. It actually enhances Combat Tactics twice as mush than perception (0.2/attribute point vs. 0.1/attribute point). Should I also try to improve Focus or replace Perception with Focus?

Anyway, thank you for any and all responces. I'll be seeing you in the game

If I am right, what you read were CR1 attribute statistics.

Now, Belief increases melee accuracy, viral damage, and boosts for melee resistance and viral defense along with several other state increases. All of them are percentages.

Perception deals with ballistic damage and defense, as well as thrown accuracy and thrown resistance and state increase that escape me at the moment.

Reason is Thrown Damage and thrown defense, along with viral accuracy and viral resistance, again with state increases I do not remember.

Focus increases melee damage and melee defense, as well as ballistic accuracy and ballistic resistance. I believe it increases stun duration and another state.

Vitality, to my knowledge, is broken and only increases your initiative bonus.

For a martial artist, I would say your best bets are focus and belief - starting off with belief for the accuracy and viral defense since a lot of npcs are hackers and the resistance bonus you would get from focus wont really help much at your current level.

Hi

Yeah, sounds like CR1 attributes. In CR2, putting your attribute points into Belief and Focus will be most beneficial to an MA, but you don't have to, you have the freedom to choose where they should go (I think you can hit the 'L' key and click on the attributes tab to see what attributes do what).Don't worry, these can be changed but you have to run a mission to get a stat hack device and for low levels with little knowledge of the layout of Richland the mission can be quite hard.

So now that Shickle has outlines the current attributes, see what works best for you.

And Hi, welcome to a epic time of the MxO.

Ok, I'll set focus on Belief and Focus. My Devoted Ascetic is already level 8

Thank you all for responding and helping me out.
