Force Blader

[O_Shura]

Hey, I'm playing a pure str blader, and lately i've seen some force blader builds, and i would to try it. So my question is wich mastery should i drop to have force? I'm doing 100 Bicheon/ 100 Fire/ 80 Light/ 20 Cold

IMO the best choices will be to either drop light and delvl fire to 80 or delvl light and cold and get force 100.

Bicheon 100/Fire 100/Force 100 or Bicheon 100/80 Fire/100Force/20 Cold

But isn't light really important for a blader, i mean a blader need to be fast (grasswalk) and the buffs are really great. So can you tell me the pros & cons of having force instead of lightning? I might try 100 Bicheon/ 100 Force/ 100 Fire. Another thing, i read somewhere that to be a force blader you need to be hybrid, like 7:1, is that true?

Light is somewhat important for every build, but apart from speed and ghost walk, there isn't a huge ammount tht light gives a blader. I personally don't have light myself and it's not tht bad. I'll make a very quick pros and cons i guess lol.

Pros for force blader:
Debuffs
Ressing and support skills (which btw are hardly up to the standard of a cleric but they can heal)
Extra MP (If u choose to take 20 cold, the extra mp will help so ur mp dosen't drain as fast)

Cons:
No speed (U can buy speed pills or have a bard follow u lol, speed drugs are expensive tho)
No parry ratio buff (IMO not a big deal, it's hard to tell whether it actually effects something in pvp)
No magical increase buff (Again, not a big deal, as a pure str, most of ur damage is physical so there isn't a huge increase u'll get from this buff.
No ghost walk (This move helps in group pvp and u won't have it lol, but obviously u can't have everything)

And Tasdik already said it but no, u don't need to be hybrid. Whether u want to be hybrid is ur choice tho.
