The Nuker:

The nuker is the main damage dealing build in the game. In a well balanced party they are responsible for dealing massive damage and taking out enemies from long range. They do very will in PvE, they do very well in wars, and they excel in dungeon combat. There one shortfall is in 1v1 PvP in which they are based on luck. A block of a nuke will be what tips the scale in the favor of the enemy. The nuker is also the fastest leveling build possible.

When we begin to build a nuker we must remember a few basic facts. The fire imbue is stronger and better then the lighting imbue. The fire nuke is also stronger, faster, and hits farther. We will be creating a duel nuker and fire will end up the main mastery. Lighting is the sub mastery and will be just as important to keep up. A lot of nukers go for lighting instead of fire as the main mastery. They end up quitting there character as soon as they begin to die, and there character does poorly in PvP.

When a nuker levels up, it is IMPORTANT to only put stat points into int. Some people want HP so badly they make the mistake of putting stats into str. They then end up with a weak nuker who can not deal damage, can not tank, and will just about suck in every way possible.

At level 150, which is the highest level possible, you will end up having to balance your masteries to get them to 300 without going over. The nukers main weapon will be both a sword/shield AND a spear. You need to get spear masteries up to 60, and max out all the skills up to 20. Your fire mastery will max out at 150, and your lighting will max out at 90.

When do you use a spear and when do you use a sword/shield? You use a spear when you can one hit a mob or a player. This will get you the most exp in the least amount of time. You use a sword/shield when you need to 2 hit mobs with both nukes. This will give you defense in between your nukes.

For skills nukers have it easy. They only go up to level 20 in spear and sword, and do not have a lot of skills to max there. For lighting they will max out just about every skill, so there is no guess work there. For fire they will max out every skill also, except the firewall skill which is useless.


It seems things are very different between posts for builds, as I am guessing changes have been made, such as max level. Anyway, would the max you could put into a mastery be 80, or did I misunderstand when I read that (somewhere else)?
in which case, that would mean both Fire and Lighting masteries would be raised to 80, where as spear (excuse me for forgetting the in-game skill name v_v) mastery to 60? That toal is a sum of 220, right? What else am I supposed to max? Bicheon?
I'm sorry if this may be frustrating, by researching it, as I said, all givs different results, so I am not sure what to think. Thanks in advance, the help is greatly appreciated.
Finally, following two nuker guides, which might possibly be conflicting (I just realized), I have 5 points in each bicheon and keuskal, 8 in lightning, and 5 in fire. Have I already screwed up? >.<

As a nuker you want to max forces. Weapons skills are not the majority of your attacks. Some nukers have NO weapon skills. Some go to 60 because this is the last level of the passives. Some go in between . Getting just enough for specific abilities. A sword/shield may go to 20 JUST to get knockdown/stab and the 2nd level passive. A spear may only go to 20 for ghost spear and 2nd level passive.

So should I differ from this guide a bit and just go
max fire
max lighting
60 bicheon (for passive)
60 keuskal (for passive)
?
I am guessing I would put the last 20 in ice for buffs?

and also, I don't care whether I've screwed up on my first character, I am starting a new one and following the SP farming guide. it's only level 8 anyway. Even if leveling is hellishly slow, at least compared to the mmorpg I kinda switched from, Legend of Ares. I guess it works out better with that whole exp ratio thing.

But you see, that is easy for you to say, already knowing a fair bit about the mechanics and builds yourself. I myself just started today, so I could use a little hand-holding before I try to take something like this on myself, it is, or at least seems, very complicated enough as it is without being a noob.

Well you can't really go wrong with lightning tree for a nuker or more hp from the spear passive so you can just test out the other skills for yourself while you lvl up and learn more about the game.
