*****OK FIRST OFF, YOU NEED TO FARM FOR THIS BUILD*****

alright, so you wanna make the best build possible without being one of those cliche pure strs or pure ints . Hybrid builds are very effective if done right, only downside is, alot of sp required.

Now, from lvl 1 until lvl 30, you add all int into your character, that is 3 int, and no str.

farming at lvl 16, i recommend the stronghold, or i know of people who farm white tigers and it works, but it will be slower. How much you want to farm is up to you, i farmed 40k, but if you dont want to have to farm later on i suggest farming at least 150k-200k sp. yes thats alot wah wah, but im farming in caves right now and i still need 130k sp to finish my build to my liking. but once im done it will be worth it. ok now for lvl 30+

after lvl 30+ you want to begin adding int:str in a 2:1 ratio. 2 int 1 str until you cap. for the best results have int/str on all you equip.


now for the fun part: what skills.


now my build i am chosing a 70/70/70/90 build

sword: 70
ice: 70
lightning: 70
fire: 90


for sword skills, you basically want to learn the chains( if you pick 1 i say heaven cause i like it more)chain not required really if you want to save sp, knockdown/stab is a MUST. i also learned evil cut because it made for a quick kill after a nuke, and passive

for ice skills, you can learn frost nova, i learned the ice nuke book 1 and 2 only lvl 1, cause it's not a main nuke, and passive, and ice guard series(soft guardetc)

for lightning skills, grasswalk, phantom, lightning nukes, passive, force piercing force, concentration

for fire, imbue,nukes,hard fire protection and thats all for that really if i can remember


i am lvl 64 with 5.5k hp and 9.4k mp, i can take down full str's without a problem most of the time.

with this you will have a high mp balance and int attk, but still retain more hp than your convential nuker.


use it if you want, if not, hey i get to own more :d, feel free to ask questions unless your name is CHAUD, then you can keep accusing.

Botter.

The whole point of sword ints is to be pure, to make up for dmg lost by going to sword. You have a shield for more def, and with nice blues, 6-8k hp is easy....
Hybrid int sword < int hybrid < pure int

Bleh. Pure int sword wins.

pure int is not very good

Ask anyone on babel to pvp amalie.
They will lose.
Pure int sword wins.

Ok, Chaud, so are you suggesting to build a pure int sword, using sword skills?

Would that build have any tanking abilities? I mean, you loose the HP bonus from Heuksal, even with maxxed INT, STR & HP on all gear, and a great shield would you be able to take more than 2 skills from a pure STR glaiver?

I am in the process of playing a pure INT sword/nuker and I have been trying to decide if I want to stay pure, go hybrid, get wep skills, or just get nukes.

Most of us have probably seen the videos of the hybrid swords tanking pure STR glaives, and beating them...so, it can't be that weak, just looking for some info before I go ruining another character.

Thanks.

Yes. 8k hp not that hard.
114% mag balance = CRAZY dmg.

Check SRT for amalies post in SS of finished nuker. Then go cry at all that sp.

If you want to tank why would you make an int build....
Sure a pure int adding good stats will be able to tank a glaiver for a while, and kill it, but nothing more. Also, protector is good for pure ints, happy medium is nice .

um... why choose cold? What with cold immunity etc... youre a hybrid, so u got more hp but less atk, and you got a shield, so i would think you would want to get more atk rather than a bit of phys defence. I would think you would want to choose fire because of phys dmg +, stronger imbue, and stronger nukes? Or am I missing something?
EDIT: oops, didnt see you were also training fire. Looks like a good build but yeah tons of sp farming
