For all of you worry warts. Don't expect to go 2 trees in this game the entire way. The SP farming is inevitable. Whether you do it at bandit den or at end game. Or some of both and in the middle.

Ice is becoming the most unpopular due to ice immunity. Therefore: End game people can't be frost nova'd and ice imbue will be a p.o.s.

So if you really want to save on the sp part. Focus only on your tree. Fire. and Lightning to 52-60 ish ( getting grasswalk and ghost walk mainly for strength ) and getting speed piercing force as int.

Or for pure int just stay all lightning and switch to fire once at end game. SP saver. And sp grind on Nachals.

Too bad the truth hurts.

Defense ( ice imbue ) will inevitably won't work.

Lightnings parry reduction / aoe will be decent - But eventually won't work.

Dunno about many other 64-70 players. But I myself am immune to frost/electric shock/fire/zombie.

So yeah. K K thx.

Ice / Lightning only good for the buffs / passive at this point in my opinion.

As a hybrid myself... i personally feel ice is still good even though about the 100% immunity....

i mean ...seriously how many ppl will be totally 100% immune in a server
maybe 3 out of 50? ..then its still a viable option to use ice ,

Alchemy wise... its 1%-20% for ice resisit...u gonna spend alot of money trying to be 100% immune so i guess not many ppl can be 100% immune

anyway its from my point of view.. i maybe wrong pls dun flame me >_<~~

You are right, I agree. And those 80% frost reduce sets costs too much for someones, and only with shield buff you can have ~100% reduce.

i love beating people like you with my lightning imbue

if you wanna have a truth that REALY hurts

Gold > every build .

Costs a few thousand SP and the alchemy tablets. believe me, at the cap, there is nothing better to do than get/make better gear for yourself and with the new alchemy it just got a whole lot cheaper to get ice immune.

I need 22% reduction once I'm farmed. That's like 10 tablets max prolly. I've already collected half a dozen from grinding and the tablets don't sell for more than a few hundred thousand gold. It's just a matter of time until every capped player is ice immune (except for the ones who don't wanna use fire tree, which is almost no one because of highest damage nuke and physical damage buff).

These are pretty self-explanatory, there are all kinds of builds and yup i agree more gold = more power

She's right on that last statement.

yep .....

the builds that really add up at lvl 70....bicheon nuker....fire/lightning/cold........PURE STR fire/glavie....PURE STR blader/fire...

gold & SP (maybe) is all people need toO be the best...

no skills involved?

skills for what?
press buttons?
this game requires no skill

Pressing the "Right" buttons at the "Right" time involves skill.

How can a lvl 4x own a lvl 70? o.0. Whatever, since you can be immune to every imbue, you might as well pick the one that does the most damage. Which is why fire is the best. There is no question to it. You could have all the gold or be whatever build, it does not matter, fire will still be the best.
