GENERAL INFO
The Brotherhood of Thieves is a group that has dedicated themselves to achieving wealth and fame through any means necessary. Their warriors use spears and their healers use axes. They have some fluffy looking outfits that do not really seem like something a thief or bandit would actually wear. Their Basic Bandit Protection provides them with extra defense making them excellent tanks.

-Most of these are based on the game descriptions except for the buffs

Did you guys know about the Invinsible Deco Suits? I've read from somewhere that Brotherhood of Thieves deco suits make you invinsible. I guess it's yet to be implemented when the game goes OB.

its called a bug >.>

Wondering though how the Invinsibility from Deco Suits work though. I guess it'll be useful at PKs? But I doubt if PK system would allow Invinsibility. :P And how come they're the only one who gets a Special Feature in their Clan Deco Suits? O_O

Perhaps you can change the sticky on SF above and modify the tile to Guides On All Clans Zanpakutou.

yeah but then itll just be a mess >.>

besides, these guides are missing too much information.

like i said, the theives deco outfits was a bug. it has been fixed now and they're mostly visible with the exception of the missing hands.

Topic title is interresting :)
I think that is funny job in game :)
dont have any idea about guide : )
I am not 9D player, readed it but cant figurise :P

I tried using this skill.. and my character got stucked at the spot.. can't move, cant meditate, can't fight... just stuck there..as tho i got frozen.

Skill: Penetrating Spears of Death

Description:
Inflicts 410 to 1219 damage and on successful attack inflicts 30 additional damage and reduces movement speed by 99% for 6 seconds.

when they say reduce movement spd, they meant mob spd right?
anyway i was stuck frozen to the spot for more than 10 sec.. until someone told me to relog in... T.T

is Penetraing Spear skill better than Whirling skill?

i mean the spear skill

if i want to be a Taishan Bandit what stat should i add?

y no one care me?

SAD

stat builds are based on WHAT WORKS FOR YOU. there is no specific build except for stay away from wisdom. one spear set of skills specializes in status effects and one specializes in damage.

I love the brotherhood of thieves clan

bug

:))

is this clan good???? i heard that Wu tang is better... :)

people are biased. they always think that heavenly demon and wu tang are the best. wu tang has high damaging skills early on so they can level pretty fast, but once they reach the middle levels (40s and 50s), their skills only have a small increase in damage compared to the other clans.

heavenly demon has a huge damage variation. there is like a 50% gap between their min and max damage (usually its 20% or so). you can hit for very low, you can hit for very high.

both clans lack a protection skill (bonus stats self buff) which can create a huge difference at higher levels since we only have the basic clan protection skills right now.

if anything, wu tang gets ripped off more than any of the other clans >.>

i know thats why you should shoes too play with an beggar ore a thief!!!!

MUHAHAHHAHA
