Hiiii, i'm Sophie :) I've been playing the dancer class since pre-renewal on PH RO ever since I was a kid. Played on and off, but was always spamming Scream/Tarot Card of Fate and dancing Please Don't Forget Me/Loki's Wail in WoE. I'm also really used to soloing and playing alone (bards were preferred in leveling parties before as Bragi was almost always needed, and Dancers were mostly in demand only in PvP/WoE </3). I still have the tendency to be a bit of a soloist/loner (even irl lol), but i'm really happy to be doing difficult instances with the friends i've made here in Muh RO <3 and to help in case you have any questions.

While the (physical) performer classes don't have the highest DPS, they have decent damage, good range, and great survivability. This guide is more focused on the Dancer route since it's the class that i always played as, but it should also be applicable to the Bard route (as well as other non-crit, non-HP, ranged physical class builds - albeit with some tweaks). The Dancer class is always gonna hold a special place in my {{#icon:994}}

! Pros !! Cons
| Can use HP and SP Absorb gears for easier farming and better survivability || Lower DPS compared to Metallic Fury/Rhythmic Wave build. The gap has improved (a lot) with the release of the Non-Critical Damage multiplier, but i think magic still has higher DPS*
|-
|-
| Can use HP and SP Absorb gears for easier farming || Lower DPS compared to Metallic Fury/Rhythmic Wave build. We probably have like, 1/4 (or 1/5. Just a lot lower :( ) of their DPS at max gears with both.
| Some physical gears have HP boosts built in so it can be a bit tankier || Long skill cooldown for Rose Blossom at 0.7

| Some physical gears have HP boosts built in so can be a bit tanky || Long skill cooldown for Rose Blossom at 0.7
| Quick cooldown for single target skill Rhythm Shooting at 0.35 || 2-4 button turbo for max DPS. Main Combo: Rose Blossom + Rhythm Shooting but you can also do Sound Blend + Rose Blossom + Rhythm Shooting + Severe Rainstorm

| Rose Blossom damage decent enough to 1 hit Temple/Venom dungeons (with drop rate gears) and Forgotten Time dungeon || Needs HIT. Can struggle against certain MVPs with Agi Up

| <s>''<small>Love dancing</small>''</s> || | Need to apply debuff (Sound Blend) and have ultimate skill active (Mystic Symphony) just to achieve max DPS.

| <s>''<small>The boys all love to stare</small>''</s> || | Rose Blossom damage has 2 parts. 1 single target and 1 aoe. You can sometimes 1 shot the main target, but need 2 casts to clear mobs. I think this also means only one of the damage parts gets Lex Aeterna debuff if you ever help in parties :(

* As you can see, the physical build for performers is like a niche build within a niche class. The meta build for performers is the magic build. Though even if the Ranged DPS is lower, single skill cast damage is good enough to farm all dungeons

We have lots of skills points that we can play around with. I won't be giving an exact skill build since we have different needs (for supporting and etc.), but I'll be giving out pointers on what to max out and why.
