Wanderer Ragnarok M Classic Semi-DPS & Support Build Guide

The Wanderer class (also known as the Performer) is one of the most versatile and underrated builds in Ragnarok M Classic. Combining solid damage with potent support abilities like healing and resurrection, this guide focuses on a Semi-DPS/Support build that can hold its own in both party play and PvP encounters. Below you’ll find a detailed breakdown of stat allocation, skill distribution, gear recommendations, runes, pets, and food buffs to help you get the most out of your Wanderer.

Wanderer Ragnarok M Classic Build Explained & Stat

The core of this build centers around the Raging Storm skill—a highly upgraded version of Arrow Shower that delivers massive AoE damage. This build is designed for players who enjoy a hybrid playstyle: dealing damage while providing utility to the party.

While the build can handle large groups of monsters with its AoE skills, it still benefits from having a dedicated priest in your party to ensure sustained healing. To maximize both your damage output and support capabilities, follow this stat priority:

• Dexterity: Max this stat first to boost your physical attack (P. attack) and the scaling of your healing abilities.
• Intelligence: Allocate around 80 points. This increases your SP regeneration, boosts your SP pool, and contributes to a modest P. attack bonus.
• Vitality: Invest the remainder into Vitality to improve your survivability during tougher encounters.

Wanderer Skill Setup

Core Skills

• Raging Storm: This is your main damage-dealing ability. Max it out to ensure your AoE damage scales with your upgraded Arrow Shower.

• Arrow Shower: Max this skill as its damage directly influences your Raging Storm multiplier. Aim for level 20.

• Shield Resonance: Start with level 1 to assist with healing and then later consider maxing it for additional support.

• Song of Return: At level 1, this skill allows you to resurrect party members in critical moments.

Additional Skills

For DPS and Grinding:

• Practice Dance (Level 10): Increases damage output by adding a bonus percentage.
• Metallic Sound (Level 5): A single-target skill that not only deals damage but also offers a 100% stun chance for 6 seconds, making it very useful against bosses or high-priority targets.
• Arrow Vulcan: Max out after reaching job level 70, this serves as a reliable single-target option when facing high-defense foes like land protectors and sages.

Ensemble & Support Skills (For Dancers/Gypsies):

• Wardro (Level 10): Boosts your teammates’ attack and defense by 10%.
• Chilling Scream (Level 5): Provides an 80% stun rate for 5 seconds—ideal for large-scale PvP such as War of Imperium.
• Practice Dance & Moment of Adaptation: Enhance your performance capabilities, with the latter allowing you to cancel performances if necessary.
• Illusion Puppet (Level 1 for Gypsies): Summons a puppet of your counterpart class (minstrel for gypsies or vice versa) to help activate ensemble skills, thus removing the need for a separate support class in your party.

Note: Some skills in this build are preset for either grinding or party play. Adjust your skill allocation if you plan on focusing more on monster-hunting versus supporting teammates.

Wanderer Gear Recommendations Semi-DPS & Support

Endgame Accessories & Offhand Gear

Additional Gear Pieces

Headwear:

• Frost Winter Whisper is recommended for its slots (a limited skin shop exclusive).

Facewear – Mr. Scream:

• Refine this piece to boost your P. attack.

Mouthware – Bone in Mouth:

• Focuses on increasing penetration.

Backware – Terrible Tornado:

• Offers improved movement speed and an extra 4% skill damage.

Tail – Ice Ridge Sculpture:

• Enhances ignore PDE and P. attack stats.

Rune Setup

Once you reach the Aesir, prioritize these runes:

1. Raging Storm Empower: Amplifies your main damage skill.
2. Arrow Shower Empower: Further boosts your AoE damage.
3. Ignore Death in Switch: Converts a portion of your Intelligence into attack stats, synergizing with your increased Intelligence for SP and P. attack.
4. Optional Runes: Depending on your playstyle, consider runes for range play, guard play, increased spiritual recovery, or shield resonance recovery. For small-scale PvP, the Tart Cards might also prove useful.

Pets and Food Buffs

Pets

• Recommended Pets:
  • Options include Peco-Peco, Baby Desert Wolf, Zherlthsh.
  • Top Pick: The Watchdog Man from the One Punch Man collab freebies is highly recommended for its balanced stats.

Food Buffs

• Universal Buff: Original Will Seafood Soup works well across all situations.
• PvP Focus: Original Will Fish Kebab is tailored for competitive play.
• Additional Buffs: Consider meals that boost Dexterity (Dex meal) and overall stat growth (Bite meal) to further enhance your build.

Gameplay Tips and Final Thoughts

• Versatility in Party Play: The Wanderer excels at supporting party members by healing, reviving, and dishing out AoE damage. However, remember that for sustained group survival, pairing with a dedicated priest is still advisable.

• Adaptability: This build can be tweaked for either grinding or large-scale PvP. If you lean more towards support, consider investing additional points in defensive skills and gear. For a DPS-heavy approach, maximize your Arrow Shower and Raging Storm to push your damage ceiling.

• Build Adjustments: The guide provides a preset for semi-DPS play. If you’re interested in a pure support build, feel free to experiment and comment with your feedback for a future guide update.

By following this comprehensive guide, you’ll be well on your way to mastering the Wanderer’s unique playstyle in Ragnarok M Classic. Whether you’re leading the charge in battles or keeping your team alive during intense PvP, this build offers a balanced approach to both offense and support.
