##||Introduction||
Bokor, a Vodou Sorcerer, is an offensive class under the Cleric tree made available at Rank 3. Bokors make use of Voodoo magic to curse enemies, assist allies, and summon the undead. Zombies, which are weak at the beginning, can later be supported through the use of Veve’s (Symbols) and used as Mediums to activate other skills, making the Bokor a valuable ally or fearsome adversary.

[Max Level: 3] | [Additional skill cost: SP +10][/details]
Overview:
Hexing is your first-steps skill. Starting off, before you can do anything as a Bokor you have to first use Hexing. It allows you to target an enemy within medium range from your character and cast a Curse onto it. Any enemies nearby the initial cursed target may also be cursed; the amount of affected enemies depends on the level of Hexing and sizes of the enemies (Under normal circumstances).
Leveling priority: Medium (Lvl 5 ~ 10)

Circle: 1 [Max level: 15]

[Max level: 5] | [Additional skill cost: SP +8][/details]
Overview:
This will be your main DPS skill, and depending on your build, may still be your main DPS skill even after completing your Rank 7. All enemies affected by Hexing/Curse within medium range of your character will be hit by Effigy. Since this skill has no cooldown, it will quickly drain your SP when used repeatedly. SP issues aside, the skill is good both early and later on.
Leveling priority: High (Lvl 15)
Tet Mamak La

Circle: 1 [Max level: 1]

Overview:
One of the 2 skills used to control the movement of your Zombies. It makes all Zombies, regardless of their current location on the map, immediately head towards the direction of the thrown skull. It also doubles as a DPS skill, because the skull itself is a summon and will quickly deal damage to whatever is touching it. The level of the skull is equal to the level of your character, and just like other Summons, the skull can die before its duration ends if it receives too much damage. There is no cap to how many skulls you can have summoned, so you can throw out as many as possible. Best used on Boss monsters that are vulnerable to it’s damage properties.
Leveling priority: High (Lvl 1)

[Max Level: 5] | [Additional skill cost: SP +10][/details]
Overview:
Your second skill used to control the movement of your Zombies. All of your Zombies will organize themselves into a line, and march behind you for the skill duration. This is a ‘channeling’ skill, so it will be interrupted if you are dealt damage. Since this skill deals Physical damage, it can only reach its max potential in a Physical DPS Cleric build. However, it still has its uses in a Magic build, as it allows your Zombies to keep up with you and can be used to CC all enemies it touches into a knockdown state.
Leveling priority: Very low (Lvl 1)
Samediveve
Description: Place a glyph on the ground symbolizing Baron Samedi, the Loa of death. Temporarily increases the maximum HP and movement speed of you and your zombies. Only half of the effect applies to you.

[details=Click Here for Attributes ✦]Attributes:
Samediveve: Increased Range - Increases the range of [Samediveve] to 110.
[Max Level: 1] | [Additional skill cooldown: CD +5s][/details]
Overview:
One of the 2 skills used to improve your Zombies. This gives them the movement speed they needed at C1, and also gives you half of the effect in the process. The skill level should always be an odd number, since you only get half of the effect. Well… that’s it. Movement Speed. Yay.
Leveling priority: Very low ~ High (Lvl 5 ~ 9, or Lvl 0)
Ogouveve
Description: Place a glyph on the ground symbolizing Ogoun Feray, the Loa of power. Increases the STR and AoE Attack Ratio of your zombies.

Zombie AoE Attack Ratio: +1.5 | [AoE Attack Ratio: +0.5 per skill level]
Ogouveve Duration: 70 seconds | [Duration: +10 seconds per skill level]
[details=Click Here for Attributes ✦]Attributes:

Ogouveve: Increased Range - Increases the range of [Ogouveve] to 110.
[Max Level: 1] | [Additional skill cooldown: CD +5s][/details]
Overview:
The second Glyph skill, used to increase the damage of your Zombies. The STR increase from this is only half of your INT though, so it’s not too good, or too bad. Unfortunately, the INT formula doesn’t increase per skill level, so this skill isn’t worth investing in past Lvl 1.
Leveling priority: Very low (Lvl 1)
Damballa
Description: Detonates Zombies near the targeted area and deals damage to nearby enemies, knocking them back. The affected Zombies will be destroyed if the damage dealt is higher than their remaining HP.

SP Usage: 35 [+5.8 per skill level]
Cooldown: 10 seconds

[Max Level: 100]

[Max Level: 5] | [Additional skill cooldown: CD +7s]
Damballa: Remove Knockdown - [Damballa] no longer knocks enemies down. (Only applies if this attribute is set to ON).
[Max Level: 1][/details]
Overview:
- The final skill for the Bokor, and also one of the strongest burst skills in the entire Cleric tree. However, the skill is situational. For normal monsters, it requires you to position all of your available Zombies within close-range of the Damballa cast to achieve the maximum damage, since the Damballa Orb has a duration of 5 seconds. The level of this skill (Maximum targets) should be close to the maximum number of Zombies you can summon with Zombify.
Leveling priority: Very low ~ High (Lvl 0 ~ 5)
##||Zombies||
Zombies are your summoned minions that follow and assist you in battle. They’re not the brightest, but they’ll always serve a purpose throughout your journey.
General Info
- All Zombies are Dark element with Leather armor.
- Zombies can be Healed, and in certain cases, buffed.
- A monster under Hexing that dies by a Zombie, will become a Zombie.

- Summoned Zombies will change maps with you and be available after logging off/on. All Zombies will regain max HP this way.

##||Character Management||
“A Zombie is only as good as the one who raised it.” - George Washington
Character Stats
It takes more than just skill placement to ensure your Bokor is efficient!
The typical stat placement is a ratio of 1:3:1 for CON, INT, and SPR respectively. This means that for every 5 stat points you gain, 1 will go towards CON, 3 will go towards INT, and 1 will go towards SPR. INT will always be invested into, but CON and SPR have breakpoints. You may adjust the ratio and breakpoints as you see fit, but the INT stat should always be the highest-invested. All future points after CON/SPR is broken off will be placed into the INT stat.
Points in CON will be cut off once you are comfortable with your rate of survival in battle. If you feel you die too easily after cutting off this stat, feel free to re-invest points back into it until your survival rate is stable again.
Points in SPR will be cut off between 50 - 100. SPR is used to make your leveling experience easier, and certain skills in your Cleric build may benefit from this.
NOTE: For characters running a Phys Cleric/Bokor build, your stat spread is likely to not include INT or SPR. The STR:DEX ratio may vary, but the advice for CON will still apply.
[Bokor] Equipment
Your equipment may vary depending on your personal likes (and budget), but a mix of Plate and Cloth armor is recommended. The one thing you will need sooner or later however, is the Bokor’s Holy Grail; the Krausas Mace.
The Krausas Mace is a Lvl 40 weapon dropped from the monster “Spoiled Coliflower Archer”, in the map “Guard’s Graveyard”. It allows you to activate Effigy’s bonus damage on the 2nd attack instead of the 3rd. The drop rate for this item is very low, so be prepared to hang around there for awhile.
Monster Gems
Next up are the Monster Gems. Monster Gems are items that can be slotted into your gear at the cost of -1 Potential. They increase the level of an unlocked skill by 1 level, and can allow a skill to be leveled past it’s Circle (Example: Lvl 16 Effigy). Monster Gems of the same name will not stack. These are the Monster Gems available for Bokor:
