Advanced Class Discussion: Elves
The Elves are recognized as the healers of Rohan Online, and their skills revolve around the use of such spells to survive. However, with their power over life comes also the power to take it away. You’ll soon come to learn that Elves may be just as formidable as your next door warrior or mage!

Drifting Away from the Healer Stereotype
In most games, healers are presumed to be the weakest of all classes in terms of combat capability. Usually, players see them in support roles, just making sure that they keep their friends alive.
In Rohan Online, the Elves’ diverse skill tree allows them to focus on which specific healing style they want to do: single healing, group healing, and so on. They may even opt to focus on their offensive and support spells, avoiding the healing skills altogether.
The Elf White Mage
The Elven White Mage starts out with an array of healing and buff spells. They can remove status effects, and have a few attack spells, too. Suffice to say that they’re the mage type that’s a bit more defensive than usual.

Stats
An Elf relies on either INTELLIGENCE or PSYCHE, and some VITALITY. Don’t take the route of choosing both INTELLIGENCE and PSYCHE; it would cause your character’s spells to be “average” in effect since you just split your strengths in two.
Spend at least 1 point to VITALITY and the rest to either INTELLIGENCE or PSYCHE. To know which stat you need, you have to look at the other aspects of the Elf: Second Classes, and Skills.
Recall that for every point spent in INTELLIGENCE, your magic attack and magic resistance improves. For every point spend in PSYCHE, you get more mana points.
Level 50 Second Classes
To know how to build your Elf character, you need to know which second job (level 50 class) you would want to take: Priest or Templar.
The Priest is the class that focuses more on healing and defensive skills. You have a spell that reduces the damage received by a party, prevent characters in an area from moving, increase resistances, and so on.
On the other hand, the Templar is the “Warrior healer” class, wielding a mace and a shield. Take note that they do not use STRENGTH, however. Instead, they have an ability called Blunt Mastery that converts their Magic Attack to Melee Attack.
Here’s a list of key skills per class, and what they do:
White Mage:
Heal: Heals a target for 200% of your INTELLIGENCE and PSYCHE.
Group Heal: Heal party member’s hitpoints for 300% of your PSYCHE.
Instant Heal: Instantly heal a target’s hitpoints for 300% of your INTELLIGENCE and 100% of your PSYCHE.
Magic Barrier: Absorbs physical/magical damage for 400% of your PSYCHE. Lasts 40 seconds.
Mental Barrier: Increases your target’s physical defense by 4% of your INTELLIGENCE.
Chrono: Removes spell cooldown.
Revive: Revive with 10% health and mana.
Priest:
Soul Mastery: When using skills, you consume no mana for 30 seconds.
Obligation: 10% decrease in damage received by all party members.
Group Instant Heal: Heal yourself and your party for 300% of your PSYCHE.
Marea’s Mind: Deal damage equivalent to 650% of your PSYCHE.
Mind Air: Paralyze your opponent and 4 others within 15 meters for 4 seconds.

Templar:
Blunt Mastery: 20% boost to Mace damage, 12% boost in attack speed, additional damage based on magic attack
Cast Over: Casting time is ignored for 30 seconds
Reflection: Reflects harmful effects back to the attacker for 10 seconds
Mana Shield: Lose 18 points of mana for every 10 hitpoint damage received
Conclusion
Basically, a Priest would be best off focusing on PSYCHE, to take advantage of the healing spells, and Magic Barrier.
A Templar may opt to go for an INTELLIGENCE or PSYCHE build, with the PSYCHE build being more defensive. An INTELLIGENCE build takes advantage of the Templar’s Blunt Mastery, though, because of an increased magic attack.
The builds are not limited here! There are still various skills builds to be tested. See if you can create a better Elf character this coming Beta.

If you want to level faster as you will be accepted in the party often early in the game go for 3 PSY 1 VIT take psy based heals ,redefine stats and skills at 50 if you want to go templar use 3 INT 1 VIT.
ang gaganda ng mga elf…crush ko sila…
yes templars rule! trust me if u have a good templar who knows how to use his or her skills properly ur pt will surely survive long with group euphoria. After I maxed my lvl I converted my templar`s build to pure int(puro farm lng muna s R5 for bedron pieces) U have low hp but with my melee mace I do 8-9 K normal damage to mobs thus increasing my hp drain effect with single euphoria. Medyo tricky kung first time mo mag handle ng templar. I would suggest trying the global version of rohan habang wala pa yung ph version. At least may Idea n kayo about the mechanics of the game.
Pure 3 int 1 vit templar from level 1 is d best! Trust me i made it in Blood Feud Rohan

oh btw GM, the font colors here sux! sakit sa mata pwamiss!
may channels din ba ito per server kagaya ng (C A B A L)? o parang Perfect world na 1 lang?
aw so excited… anu ba maganda? priest or templar? waweee first tym ko kumalas sa pagiging wizard/mag… ako nagtityaga sa cabal kakaantay dito hehe.
I test a templar of my own and as i observed eh mukang di dapat nagkakalayo ang PSYCKE sa INT howeve isa dun ang mas lamang ng konte depende sa type ng build mo (TEMPLAR) but as i see based sa skills maraming applications saINT ng templar kesa sa PSYCKE so be carefull talaga sa pag well distribute ng INT/PSYCKE NITO (IMAGINED \REVENANT\ of DOTA as you see him HE IS A TYPE OF TEMPLAR KIND OF HERO THERE) diba anlakas niya??? kasi si revenant kung di ako nagkakamali mace din ang hawak niya at may shield maybe he uses INT to convert it to physical damage
I played the US server of ROHAN, thank you LUG for bringing ROHAN in the Philippines. XD
I personally like priest over templars. Psyche based kasi dependent most of priest skills. Pag Int based mas recommended na kunin ang class ng Templars for fast kills. Pwede mo kunin yung Int at psyche at the same time, pero its not recommended, kelangan kasi ng both classes na pataasin ang VIT nila.
WooooooooOoOw!:”>……….. I Like this 1 into ang like koH:))
