For The imbue effect beside the skill example:
Freezing Probability 5%(EFFECT 30)
what is it actuallY?? if i lvl the imbue the effect increase, then does it mean it slows more?? or jus tat it is longer?
Same goes for fire and lightning.
If someone can tell me more about it would be great, i wan to know for all the 3 forces =)(the advantage of higher lvl imbue with higher effect)

I can tell you what I know -

Fire Is the strongest Imbue, with lightning coming in second, Cold last.

I assume you have used these imbues before?

The number after EFFECT is the duration and intensity of the status effect... To remove the status you have either to wait (though 30 doesn't mean you'll be frozen 30 seconds) or to pill (each size of pill has its reduce effect : if it's more than 30, one pill will cure the status effect - right now I can't remember how much it is for each kind of pill :oops: )


Also consider that jewelry has sometimes some reduce effect (as example : blue necklace 10% frozen effect reduce => the effect is no longer 30, but 27....).

I agree with that - does more damage.

If I understand, you want to know if it's useful to level up your cold imbue (which is not your main force mastery) to 5... I'd say NO!

Don't level up the ice imbue, if cold is not your main force mastery... imbues don't stack : you can't imbue your weapon with 2 elements at the same time. Just add your sp in one imbue. For PvE, the purpose is to kill monsters the quicker you can, you would lower your killing rate using a low level ice imbue.

The idea of freezing is to slow your opponent, it'll do less damage to you... but it'll take more time to kill it, because ice does less damage than fire. Anyway, you'll have a hard time to level up your character in SRO, don't make it harder with a low damage imbue IMHO.
