The higher your parry, the lower the enemy will hit on you. So it is really important.

And I'm just going to give up. Light is clearly better for a str hybrid, but you can't get that into your head. And the 40% snowshield? you were talking about 60 ice, which gives 40% snow. But just read my reasons again why 60 ice is useless for a str (hybrid or not)

you are not the all ending decider of what is better for anything.
taking less damage really important right?
so a higher snowshield would do that
you can get ice to 60 without maxing snowshild (like i said before) just get what you can have maxed
nothing is useless
even wizard as a sub for warrior isnt useless
your seeming to get all bitter about this when its really a debate not an arguement
and its not our builds it is the topics starters
we are filling him in on information not eachother
so keep going if you have more to say
just dont take it personal or get all defensive

Sigh, why max it to 60 if you're not planning on using maxed ice. Like I said before, the imbue is worthless, the phy def is worthless at 90+, the ice wall maxed at 60 helps about the same as lvl 1, book 1....So the only reason 90+ chars max ice to 60 is for the snowshield. And a str hybrid can't maintain a 40% snowshield while pvping, that's for sure.

it doesnt have to be 60
i had light to 32 (whatever lvl was needed for phantam)
so then i would still be able to have 68 cold which gets the 3rd book for phys def
taking a higher snowshield (highest they can handle) will help no matter what
it doesnt have to be 40%
there are steps between snowshiled that lvl up
they could use book 1 lvl 3
or whatever they want
when i played at 78 i was bich/fire-77 light38 and cold-58
i was in npc gear some was +3 though
and i was able to pvp against lvl 79 ff sos +3 warrior/clerics
i dont think i would of been able to do it without the extra ice i added

I guess if you have it higher than 60 it might help, but then the light would be too low to have any use so you'd be better off getting 100 ice.

I know there are steps for snowshield and you don't have to use the maxed one, but like I said...Why max it (I'm talking about 60 ice now since that was the idea earlier) because you can't keep it up. Maybe he can keep up a 30% but then you wouldn't need 60 ice but 50...or 45, I dunno for sure.

And about the whole hybrid str blader idea, my advise: don't go hybrid str haha...

the only reason i had light was for phantom walk
i used it a lot in pvp (and not to run)
i was a pure str blader so i didnt need to max cold
that is why i did that build
and agreed 30%ish would be good
so if that is all he wants he can just get that
i know devil has already chosen his build
but i would really like for the topic starter to get involved =\

I've always had pure builds so i thought it would be interesting to make a hybrid build and see how i do. I'll see how high i'll pull the snow shield since i'm gonna have more int then a pure str, i could manage a higher lvl. I'll see Thanks again.

I have yet to see a good str hybrid, why didn't you try out int hybrids? They are quite strong.

dunno, the blader that i'm making is on SJSRO (30* xp,sp) anyways, so it doesn't really matter. My main is on ISRO and it's a pure int s/s so i'm playing on SjSro till i can log on . So i didn't want to make a spear cause my friend has a pure int spear on Pacific that i can play. There's a shitload of bow builds so i didn't want to make that. I have a sworder and glaviers just don't interest me. So i ended with the blader

Ah ok, well it's always nice to experiment, besides...it's 30x exp so you wont waste too much time making it anyways xD

My thoughts exactly

is the rest of the game just like isro?
just higher rates?

Yeah, theres 90 cap but in stead of 10D weapons at lvl 90 there are 11D . the skills i'm not sure, either lvl 70 or 90. Exp and SP rate is 30x and drop is 10x.

11D weapons?!
i havent event seen anything on those

Youtube it, there were a couple of topics like 2 months back when kSRO got 11D update. But 9D is still the best looking IMO.

If I were you, I'd go Bich/Fire/Force. Mercury on Alexander was 5:1 and Fire/Force as well, and he was really strong.

Lol blader with force is the most fail build ive ever heard, you got chains and stabs for debuffs, why the **** do you go force when you can be alot better with ice, and force users get whipped in the ass by clerics.

agreed that dont need it
but its not the most fail
blader is the 1 build that doesnt need force (sure you can add more debuffs if some go away etc.)
but you are a tanker and should have enough time to get the debuffs off
the only benefits from force is higher mana and rez
which dont compensate for the other trees you can take that are better for a blader

It's a different way to get passed special pills. Blader's and S/S's are already fcked by clerics anyway...Can't get bleed/dull/fear/impotent/division from twin energy and chains. Only stun works >.>

Point taken about getting past the special pills. It still is probably the worst blader build aside light ice blader.

I dunno...I usually thought that too but it can be really strong if you know when to use the debuffs etc. Get debuffs, if they pill use force etc. It might actually work really well. You got impotent to lower damage so ice is not that needed, and if you have a decent blade and you do want more def. You could get 80fire/20ice/100force and bich.

yea you can add another debuff right after they use a special pill
and this can help but i think bladers can kill even without the debuffs
idk i just think theres too much sp to go into something that a blader already has
