Build

A build refers to a suggested set of characteristic and class spell improvements for a particular class for a given character. They can also include specific items or sets that will be particularly useful to a character. Typically, the builds are influenced by:
 * 1) The elements associated with the more useful class spells available.
 * 2) The growth rate for the characteristics for that class.

Achieving a specific build
To achieve an optimal build, one must apply almost all characteristic points into one specific characteristic. In the case shown on the left, the character has chosen to put almost all of his points in Strength, with a few points in Agility and Vitality.

Characters plan a particular build by saving Spell Points for specific spells. This allows the character to maximize a particular spell as soon as it is aquried. In the above example, a Sram/Strength build, and the user is saving Spell Points for the Tricky Blow spell, so that it can be upgraded to the maximum as soon as it is acquired at level 9.

For lists of common builds, check the individual class pages.

Scroll Builds
The concept of a scroll build is to have a character's core stats raised a certain amount before using any characteristic points gained by leveling. Hardcore scroll builders aim to scroll key stats all the way to 101. This is obviously a time-consuming and expensive task, so scroll characters are almost always not the primary character.
