The build I've been thinking about definitely has some bugs in it - which I'd like all your help. It's the core idea behind it that I've found so appealing.
To the basics now; What I've been thinking is basically a hybrid. It's main masteries will be cold, Force, and Bich. From the Cold tree, I'll be using the high phy. def, and mana shield, as well as the nukes to damage from afar. Force will be almost entirely for PvP (jobbing, cape duels), as the later books of the vital spot series can be very damaging. In fact, I've heard you can almost, if not, double your damage after successfully casting them. Bicheon is a necessary tree, and so are most of the skills I've chosen from it. The chains will be for close-combat monster fighting, and eventually PvP, and the usual skills for PvP. Also, the blade force and sword dance series's will allow a reasonable degree of ranged combat in addition to the cold nukes.
Ideally, this char is made for PvP. Cold, especially for mana shield, will help a lot, but as it is also the main imbue being used, basically anyone who isn't immune may have a hard time. PvM, of course, it's a given that cold = defense. Barely getting hit is very good on pots, and I've noticed on some higher level chars that I farmed specifically to test imbues, Cold Imbue saves a TON on Hp pots. I chose the force tree because the natural therapy series is a great tool to use when jobbing, and to reflect, the vital spot series is great for damage; res, of course, never hurt either. As for Bicheon, I've always preferred one handed weapons, and Silkroad doesn't disappoint. The shield is also a godsend for hybrids, in addition to one of two physical (not status) states that, of course, can't be pilled off. The theory behind this character is to have all (or a lot of) the fury and defense of a blader, with incredibly high comparable damage.
But that's only part of it. It's what I'm certain about, as it seems to be a killer combination. What I'm not sure about, I'd like some help on. This char is currently levelling, so thankfully, it isn't too late to make adjustments. There are a few things I still haven't worked out, like
- What should this char's balance be?
- Based on this balance, should this char use a sword, or a blade?
- With cold, force, and bicheon all at lvl 90, where should the other 30 points go? Personally I was thinking some sort of split between fire and lightning, to get the best of both worlds. What do you think?
- What kind of equips (armor, prot, garm) should this char wear?
- Do you think this build will work as it is supposed to?
- If not, what would you do to fix it?
