War of Emperium has always been one the best end game feature of Ragnarok Online. The game play evolves whenever there are updates on the job classes or new equipment that will heavily boost a certain skill is released. However only few builds are considered viable for the War.
ROMSP Restricted Skills:
For ROMSP server, there are restricted or unimplemented skills that should be taken into account when thinking of builds which can be read on Restricted Skills on ROMSP
The list of meta builds that is listed on the article is heavily based on what I have observed on character builds on ROMSP wars. I will not be listing detailed builds since I'm not an expert on most of these classes but will only showcase the important factors to consider on these builds which makes them stand out.
