Im always reluctant to use int. I hate the mage bullshit some games have in them. I usually preferred to stick with historical accuracy, and i bet that sounds nerdy, but its not. Mage and force skills just really seperate reality from fantasy, and it gets boring, unrealistic.

I use full oh scale armor, and my SP and MP are nearly 1:1. Ive heard that this is the worst u can get. Is it?
So to compensate, i use a merciless snakespear. I also heard spears are int based while glaives are str based.

That is my basic profile right now. What is the best option left for me to do to make my character the best he can be after i kinda messed up on allocating stat points?

yes spears are INT based and glavies are phy based.

1:1 not good in my opinion.

hybrids are all right... can't tank much, can't deal a lot of damage, but they're all right.

try going int - hybrid; 1:2 spear.

those builds own imo.

or reroll and go pure str if u don't want int heavy builds, its always easier to survive with pure str then pure int though u level slower due to slower killing time.

blade/glave/bow = str based
sword/spear = int based

i think 1:1 is a pure hybrid hence, all the strs and all the weaknesses or none of the strs, none of the weaknesses, so if ur good a working the keyboards, your build should be theoretically be the best breed.

just my 2 cents worth

Most builds are good. Pure int or pure str works, if youhave few points in str and your int you are ok. Hybrids can be good but depends how many point you spent in really. If your hybrid, try to keep 100%+ balance.

imo pure int blued pwns, thier stupidly useful in guild wars too.

I dunno tho, with int, especially at the 90 cap they will be even more deadly with this 4 stab and the new cold skill (mana shield) which would make a sword shield nuker (which i am ) almost unbeatable

play what u wanna play, not what others play which they presume its best because they can handle it well.

got to agree and play what you want and stop caring what others are saying about your build

this game is all about having fun and creating your build, try making something unique in the end people might be amazed of what you have done.
but certain builds do better in couple situations and so on and on.

Both are as good

no both arnt as good. it just depends on how you want to play your game.

STR gives a lot more HP then int and as such you can last longer against
powerfull mobs and your attacks are more physical/melae based
INT gives more MP then str meaning you can use more skills and pull
off more "nukes". int are magical and range based attacks.

thats what it comes down to really

STR=melae
INT=Ranged

no one can survive a nuke from a zerked pure int spear player
unless he blocks it then kills u -.-

BUT..... every build has it's ups & downs
so play with what u think is fun

you have a point there
I prefer spear int hybrid cuz spear passive gives you hp(1100) when you max it and you hit more than a pure str however your hp will be a little less than a pure str.

and your damage will be more than str

With Zerk almost everyone is allmighty

str's are the pvp masters.
specialy bladers.

If you can play your full int well it'll pwn a full str (still depends on crits and blocks though)

Maybe if you mean in those stupid 1v1s outside Jangan. Gear > Build for PvP, plain and simple. 1v1s are retarded anyway imo, needs more war. Every good build has its place in a war.

OP: Just pick whatever build you think would be most fun, go with it.

If you want people to watch you fight then go for str.

This video shows a str blader tanking 4-5 people, nukers, pure STRs, blade, glaive. you name it almost every kind of build is attacking the same person ROFL, and still they couldnt kill him.(watch the thief)

well most of u were talking about the superhigh lvls
im 22.

i wil prob take advice for 2:1 int spear now

the only reason i look for becoming stronger is so i can last longer and enjoy the game. I dont wanna pwn ppl everyday-prob wont even play that long anyway. Ive died too fast sometimes.

what is a recall or re whatever?
thx a lot

in pvp. all builds do well, its just a matter of gear.

hybrid ints do well
hybrid strs do well
pure strs do well
pure ints do well
etc.

Int hybrids own- go like 6 lvls with str and all int, pwnage
