What would be a fun pure str build that you don't normally see? Especially as you get to the higher levels, what is a build that is uncommon to find? I just don't want to get up to the higher levels and find that everyone is doing the same thing that I am. I'm guessing that fire/glavie is most popular, but I'd like to hear what the more experienced players have to say.

In the most usual cases for pure str, people choose pure str fire glavie, blade or bow. A while ago, people say the build Pure Str Ice Blade was almost godly, but with the new alchemy system being created making you immune to ice. I tried it out, and now im a lv 54 pure str ice blade character in troy, and guess what, everyone i tanked, was frozen from 4-5 seconds which is useful. Another unusual build that tanks very powerful is Pure Str Ice Glavie, many people dont use this build cause it levels almost as slow as bladers, but it is useful in the end, with frostbite and frozen status it can inflict. Another unusual strength build is pure str lightning bow, i had a pure str archer lightning and force in xian lv 70, and it was by far the strongest bow character i made, with extra speed it gave me, i was able to kill nukers and pure strs my level, but never higher level.

As far as I've seen...Ice Immunity is still not worldwide yet. I haven't met a char that is 100% immune yet. Granted I'm not level 70 either. Ice is fun, it rocks PvE, and owns in PvP when they're not immune.

depends of what u want, if u want to make a build only for u than u can get force or make a glaive/ice, but dont try to remake the point of sro, a glaiver ice is useless, 100% imunity is alot easy of get, cold def stop at 55 and in fire u have +mag def plus +phy attack AND +more damage of the imbue

u can make a pure str blder nuker, but dont expect to be effective like other bladers,

im glaive ice from start. i also learned all the fire buffs, so the only difference is that im using the ice imbue
i dont see too big difference between my dmg and the dmg of a fire glaiver. but of course he is doing more

go force + lightning + weapon....

*force res
*force debuff
*high parry
*fast run
*aggro'ing imbue
*For the weapon, you should try going ghost spear + flying dragon and only using ranged attacks; or, go blade and max out the AoE skill.

Or I wonder if a glaive using character could use just the three books of flying dragon and be a crit ranged nuker, with ice status applying capabilities.

there are 2 books of flying dragon
they can kill a green mob with ease but then i have to wait for the cooldown
so i just put a fast recharging meele attack between them. like SSS. i can kill a white mob with flying dragon+SSS and grind as fast as lightning =)
