Well it depends...
- Handgrinding = Wizard
- Botting = Int Nuker
You seen yourself, that 80% of top high levels in Gaia are Int Nukers (S/S mostly).
Because Wizards cannot be botted up (There are few on which they can be, but not all of them)
Overall, Wizard does level up faster (party play) and solo, but you have to be really careful, while facing Giants...
Umm one thing, if you are chooing your next character by Who-will-get-faster-to-cap, dont do it like that,
because you will get bored fast, and quit it.
Trust me, if you like Blader, but you dont want to play him because he levels up slow, still pick blader, you will get higher level with him, than you'd with Wizard/IntS/S.

I'm not suggesting anything, those are just facts.... We need more facts on this forum,
so I dont have to hear comments "botters dont know how to play their character".
P.S. Thanks Stress & Blurred.

wizard
i thought pure int spear levels up faster but i changed my mind after leveling with wizard
imo wizard build is better from many aspects:
1-higher damage (w or w/o LC) than int chinese spear
2-best build for pfarming/plvling
3-better buffer (if you have cleric or bard as a sub)
4-more nukes to use (trust me you won't get bored)
5-invincibility FTW
6-faster in leveling with auto parties since all euro builds get 20% bonus in those parties
7-best KS'er n teh game since it has faster casting time & highest DMG
p.s.
for this kind of topics better to make a poll

^And more annoying in PvP, and weaker.
I hate when I have to 3-4 Wizards outside Samarkand... it really isnt fun for me to rebuff everytime nor for them, to run to safezone and back.

wizard has 4 types nuke
int light has 1-2 nuke + shout
=> wizard win
But it depends on what u kill, where u kill too
light = short range nuke
wiz = far range nuke
wiz vs party mob without tanker = dead, espiecially in cave or vs a ranged mob
light nuker survive with mana shield

*You get more nukes, but once you hit 20 you don't get a new nukes until 60. 76-90 No new nukes. This also means a lot of SP.

I really hate wizards. Anytime you get KB/KD in 1v1 your going to die. Earlier today jobbing, A wizard with 60% warrior buffs and phy/mag/ult screens, as well as bless+earth fence, was 1 hit by me due to cleric sub.
Wizards will lose very often vs warriors, and vs rouges, bladers, clerics, warlocks, archers.
Chinese ints are a joke (imo) at this cap, and fail incredibly hard without snow. If your looking for PvP where if you can't kill them before snow ends, you lose, or PvP where if a wizard/rouge hits you before you snow, you lose, its the build for you.
Also, as stated, if your botting the spear will be much faster, due to less deaths.
If your going to party play a lot, I'd suggest a warlock/cleric, rouge/cleric, or warrior/cleric. For soloing, Bow.
Best PvE (IMO)
Rouge/bard
Wizard/bard
Archer
S/S nuker
Spear Nuker
Best PvP (Again, IMO)
Rouge/Cleric
Warrior/Cleric
Warlock/Warrior
Force Archer
Force Blader
Hybrid Blade
Hybrid Archer
Apologies for the length of the reply so heres the short version:
Wizards aren't fun for either player in PvP, will level quickly in parties, and dominates group PvP.
Chinese Int Spear is very very strong only in snow, when that ends your done. Also, even in snow, the high damage builds can kill you.
@Nuclear Chinese have 3 fire nukes alone, 1 light nuke and one shout. Wizards have longer range indeed.
I personally prefer having 3 types of nukes opposed to like 11 nukes...(Fire AoE,Fire Single/penetration, and shout. If your farmed, ice AoE as well. Wizards essentially have the same, only they have the KB nuke, Fear, and fire blow.

Deaths and SP cost probably make them even, not considering weapon mastery. No matter how u cut it Wizards cost a lot of SP. Even Bard secondary doesn't really help it. On the other hand, you can level a Light nuker to 90 with Imbue, Piercing Force, Grass Walk and Light Nukes only. Wizards will probably die a lot more than a Nuker while leveling up which will start to add up.
IMO one should pick based on how they like to play, solo or parties. Wizards are worth it with constant parties but maybe not so much solo.

The thread starter said pure int light. It means that he intends to build weapon + ice + light => no fire

All Euros make bad botting since they are party play but I suggest str bow or S/S nuker I would suggest wiz or spear but they die more and it wont be good xp if you die.

euros lvl faster than chinese
bards in party dont die , cuz they have noise and just uns MC => no aggro => dont die => dont lose 2% ^_^ u're happy

About Rogue/Bard, if its rush to the cap, he wont get there first, I'm 100% positive.
- Handgrinding: It goes fast but lets face it, who is that sick to do same thing, watch same animations for 3++ hours? I dont know, but doing that daily ... and he has REALLY hard time finding the party ... so that is big fail for Lets-Rush-To-The-Cap-Build.
- Botting:I dont think they can recast noise & moving march with bot... I highly doubt ... and even if he is getting botted up, I wouldnt use XE (we are speaking about Xbow rogue, since Dagger sucks for PvE) and he wouldnt be able to be botted up on higher levels (how we handgrind him) - meaning he needs to bot up on mobs his level, without moving march & noise and without XE ... so that makes him same as any other chinese guys, even weaker, since he has pot delay.
Thats my opinion, but seriously, handgrinding with Rogue/Bard ... Idk who plays him 3++ hours everyday...
Topic Starter - What build did you choose? Trust me, just choose the build you like,
not the one that levels up fast, Silkroad is for fun, not for a "I must do it" but yeah ... I wish we can have fun at lower levels ... but this is MMORPG , its the same at every MMO...

Heavy int hibrid bow imho.
It seconds or equals the wizzy. Light buffs, ice buffs, longest range etc.
Everyone laughed at me, but you know, i killed higher (+1lvl) full str archer in pvp like 5wins and 2 losses(i turned off snow these times)
Both me and opponent used sun bows+sun equips. I was full sun garm. He was mostly sun prot.
EDIT: sry, i forgot.
20str points at the beginning and after that, only int.

109% mag ballance, 67% phy ballance if you max the +str/int stats

Are bots able to weapon switch btw?

I highly doubt, but I think its possible, since we can see Wizards goldbots with Recovery Divison on them all the time.

There is such a program my friend uses it , he is Wizard/Cleric lv90 and he bots on rockies with no problem because of that program and that is really annoying, because if he doesnt recast RD he die like a shit...

Hmm. If you are talking about an INT light, than you most likely mean a Spearman (alot of s/s dont take light it seems) So than the spearman SHOULD also have Ice.
So that means up to 4 nukes and 2 shouts by level 50. (Snow Storm: Ice Shot and Ice Rain, Wolf and Tigers thunderbolt)
Doesnt sound to bad to me.

AutoIT is a programming compiler... They use macros or it's built into the bot.

Thanks for your PM. I think I'm going to close this now. We're only talking how well bots perform with certain builds.
