Im a lvl 40 nuker (pure INT of course)

Right now I have a 6-level gap which makes my masteries lvl 34. I planned it this way so when I hit 42 and get my new weapon, ill have an 8 lvl gap and lots of time to farm more SP.

My masteries are:
- Sword (34)
- Fire (34)
- Lightning (34)
- Cold (34) - might get rid of
- Spear (30) - for HP bonus

Im currently wearing Armour for the defense while I grind and farm.

I plan on PVPing with my friends when I get in the 60s.



Id like your opinions on a couple things...

1. Should I get rid of my cold skills all together and replace them with spear skills for the HP bonus every 10 masteries? Or keep the cold for the defense skills? Or will there be enough masteries to use both when I hit the cap?

2. Should I stick with armor while I train? Or should I use protector or garment?

3. What is a great spot to farm at lvl 42? (or close)

IMO, cold defense buff and passive helps a lot cos u have low phy defense. Stick with armor cos almost every mob is phy, cept levels 50-57 ishades, sonars and planars. There u can change to garment and u wont recieve much famage 50-100. Great spot to farm... at 42.... wait til 50s and go with penons

you can plan it carefully by using this

about the decrease of one skill or keeping it it all depends on you, why?:

-cold more phy defence
-spear more hp and if you really want to farm upgrade soul departs and ghost spear series.
-s/s great survivability and superb phy defence of the castle shield series
-fire most damage
-light a must have skill

farm in the death ravine you can 1shot or 1nuke-lion as a full int so no need for armor just make sure you kill before you get attacked. and with your heuksal passive you should do fine with garments use a spear when nuking, only make sure you don`t use the light nuke when a trade run passes.

you can also farm in 2 fases
1 farm now till you have enough to get everything maxed to 43 and upgrade 1 skill (your imbue to 52 then delevel it to 43 again cost alot but sure is worth it)
2 farm rest you need at 52 at penons

this should help you with the sp farm planning.

if you really plan to massively pvp go dual gear and delevel ice and keep going as full int.

without ice in pvp go armor but mobbing you can probably kill anything before it hit you just dont waste your time on giants without berserk.

(probably full int build ice, light, s/s and heuksal) i rather go fire instead of ice and get armor

Excellent, thank you for the great info. I got a pretty damn good idea of what I want to do now.

I was watching that vid on youtube, how did he switch between spear and s/s so fast?

you know what i had same problem and careful planning i had this:

Bicheon 70
Heuksal 60 - over 1k hp good for nukers
Ice 30 ( you only need to dlvl 3 lvls thats not so bad)
Fire 70
Light 70

Total: 300

Voila nice s+s build imo, and im also full int so go for it

very nice. you kick a lot of ass in pvp? and what armour do you wear?

i am lvl 34 myself but i have calculated and talked with high levels nukers who aprove actually it. And i suggest you to start wearing armour , you need more psyhical def because of your low def, prot is for hybrids more

i would not advice you to continue this
that was a perfect build for the cap on 70 but we now have a higher cap.

this means you cant upgrade your mastery after 70 so you will get a 10 gap towards level 80 something that is kinda time consuming to do and impossible imo.

About the vid he is uses macros for switching weapons rest is manual.

good point. what if i continue like this untill i get closer to 70... then once i get there, de-level my ice and add the points to bicheon fire and lightning to max them at 80 mastery? that should work, no?

but are there any skills between 70 and 80 cause the char builder i'm using ain't got them in it. Wasn't planning on using ice anyway but other than that i came up with the same build.

u can delevel 10 points in ice and put in fire
when u hit 80 u delevel the 10 points and put again in ice

He's probably using G15 keyboard to switch back and forth so quickly.

G15 Keyboard FTW.

Okei

Bicheon: 80
Heuksal: 60
Fire: 80
Light: 80

voila 300

s+s wear armour max fire protector
