Some heroes from the CO community have noticed that a majority of Water Taoists in the Chinese version of Conquer Online has turned to using the throwing knife instead of the sword, and some asked about it. Today, the CO team is officially going to recommend this to all our Water Taoists or Fire Taoists out there! Now, let's see why the Taoists should go this route.
HP: 60,208; MP: 3,690; Attack: 9,819 - 10,259; Defense: 17,155, M-Attack: 5,748; M-Defense: 5,098; Immunity: 168%
Equip a Throwing Knife on the Water Taoist
Water Taoist is a class responsible for casting buff for teammates or guildmates, recover HP for groups or individuals, and revive alliances during PvP battles. With that purpose in mind, the Water Taoist should stay alive for as long as they can, to facilitate for teams to get high scores in PvP tournaments.
With a Throwing Knife equipped, the Water Taoist will get more HP, more Immunity, and more M-Defense. Instead, the P-damage and M-damage will decrease. Hence, the Water Taoist can avoid being killed on sight by melee classes. With this play style, the Water Taoist can be as resilient as you can imagine in any PvP tournaments.
Though there are still risks that you might not outfight melee classes, and if you can't jump around fast enough, you might be taken out pretty fast. That said, you'll have to work on your control skill as well!
In summary, going Water Taoist with a Throwing Knife would definitely bring more merits than demerits for either Water Taoists themselves or the teammates around Water Taoists.
