Ok, I'm farming like a mad man... and then i go to the sp calculator and dream....
I'm curious how long i'm stuck farming/how much sp i need... then I realize I don't know...
Regarding the spear skills... since a nuker is doing magic damage what is the point of advancing the skills, does it make a difference? the physical stat increases... but am i right to assume that our physical balance is so low that this is not a very noticeable increase and that only the one point is really required for the effect and thus i can save farming some sp?

Yes, get these heuksal skills:
-soul spear series - stun
-ghost spear series - knockback, quick burst of damage
-passive - extra HP
Although you may think theyre weak, your imbue damage 'masks' over them, and thus does quite high damage.
I don't know if anyone can back me up on this, but assuming they have similar gear, I think that a ghost spear imbued from an int player would do more damage than a ghost spear imbued from a str player, but this is just speculation based off previous experiences.

That isn't my question at all...
I know what skills to get, i'm talking about the purpose of excelling these skills... in terms of necessity of farm at lvl 16...
is the difference between a lvl 1 and X ghost spear book1 that noticeable for a pure int since we are only really concerned about hitting with our nukes....
My real question underlying here is, can i get away with farming 100k at 16 and lvling and farming again at 60....

no idea what you're getting at here

yes, there is a difference between ghost spear petal book1 and ghost spear petal book9. The damage increases, although small and you want other skills other than nukes to cancel/kd/kb/stun, which you asked of in the first post, and i answered clearly

that has no relation to this question at all. You never wrote that on the first post. Numbers and calculations will tell you that, not me, because i have no idea what skills you would take, etc. You should be right with 100k till the high fifties/low sixties.

Ok, let me rephrase this again...
some people are fully farming at 16 for 200k+
(I'm thinking about farming 100k or so instead and farm the rest at 60, but I have a question!)
The real question part is not about which skills and why necessarily... ONLY about the amount of difference between taking just lvl 1 each skill of spear versus maxing them (since the basic effect is there from lvl1).
Is the amount of damage from maxed spear skills THAT MUCH different on a pure int, that I should be so concerned as to plan for it while farming... or can i get away with lvl1 skills and farm it later?

yes the dmg is that big and you need to (for example) book 1 from soul spear series to unlock book 2, and max book 2 to unlock book 3. same for ghost spear
