(*)There are also other builds that aren't commonly used do to the fact of being complicated (such as Pure STR, Robe, Warrior/Warlock), or due to the huge ammount of sp reqired (Pure INT, Robe, Wizard/Warlock), or due to conflicts about its efficiency (Pure Str, Light Armor Rogue/Warlock). However those builds have been demonstrated to be as good as the commonly used builds -if not better- which was further proven by PVP videos of player using those builds.
