Overview

The Mastersmith is the reborn class of the Blacksmith. It grows upon the Smiths Axe/Mace skills and received a lot of nice new skills. Although the class almost seems to be ignored by Gravity, or almost lowered in power compared to the other Reborn classes, Smiths still pose a dangerous threat to almost every class. They have the power to break Weapons and Armor while they're attacking you with Shattering Strike (Meltdown) and then unleash a flurry of High Speed Cart Rams (Cart Termination). This class takes a lot of customization in order to make work properly and takes a lot of time and effort to play one well.

Being a class with high damage per second rating, Mastersmiths gained boosts in their skills that exploits their ASPD. One of is the Shattering Strike skill that gives the smiths use for their skill Weapon Repair for it breaks weapons for a chance. Another skill HSCR, (although over shadowed by their co-class' Acid Bomb as their new skill) that makes characters with low VIT run for their lives. HSCR is another skill that is ASPD dependent and is almost spammable.

Another note is that, the Mastersmiths with their new skills drains more zeny than their non-rebirth counterpart.

Builds

Hybrid Battle

STR: 110-130
AGI: 50-80
VIT: 50-80
INT: 1-20
DEX: 50-70
LUK: 1

Weapons: Maces, Axes

The common theme in the builds of Mastersmiths, mainly because you can get good amount of ASPD for HSCR and Shattering Strike. Although the main forte is the HSCR skill (Debated: The optimum ASPD for HSCR) for its 'just right' ASPD. Ice Pick and Combat Knife can be equipped for HSCR also, much better if you have the Linker skill of Advanced Adrenaline Rush for greater ASPD since the ordinary Adrenaline Rush doesn't cover dagger type weapons.

Their preferred skills are mainly HSCR and alternates Mammonite, Cart Revolution and normal attack with Shattering Strike.

STR/AGI Battle

STR: 100-120
AGI: 70-80+
VIT: 40-60

Mainly for Shattering Strike, being AGI as their priority stat. (Not necessarily to max it out.) Stats are spared for AGI, a question of durability. Can also have the same skill build of the Hybrid counterpart.
