Odd Builds still a thing?

Hey there Basilers,

I was wondering, how many of the "odd job" character builds are still functional (or as close as they every came thereto) as of now? I ask because I tried to make a brigand a couple days back only to discover none of the bandit skills that were allegedly non-weapon-specific weren't functioning. After attempting to use a 1h Axe, several swords, and a pole arm, I found I could only use steal with a dagger, which rendered my odd job rather moot.

I've since continued it anyways just to see how it fared, and was surprised to find that a pure STR build comes surprisingly close in range to a more traditional LUK build. I'm having fun with it and doing decent damage, so it wasn't a total loss; I'd just like to have known ahead of time that using a different weapon wasn't a viable option anymore. So which of these experimental builds are even a thing anymore, and which are Maple history?

Also, if anyone else plays something abnormal in Khaini, feel free to buddy "SpecialStats."

That's a bummer; half the fun of the RPG setup is seeing what happens when you bend or break the "rules" of how things are designed to progress. I'm still quite happy with my "wrong" character, but damn I would have looked cool with a polearm. XD

I'm pretty sure the only one's not yet destroyed are Perma First Jobbers. But I'm sure soon Maple Story will auto job advance you after taking the first job destroying those as well.
