Damage question - nuker

[SolarExtreme]

Does physical dmg affect nuke's dmg? Should pure int nuker use spear skills in PVE?
Thx in advance:).

[pyro93]

spear skills is not often used if u have nukes :S coz they give much more damage

[SolarExtreme]

well the difference in my case isnt that big :/
I have maxed Flow piercing *lvl 7*
Weapon lvl 35 spear +3
+ Extreme Fire Force during using nuke
and it gives me like 1,7k - 2k on red scorpions so i need 2 nukes on each...
Does the Fire skill adding physical dmg affect nuke dmg ?
Sry for nooby questions:)
Regards

EDIT :
Usually Pure int with spear go Lighting & Fire, and sometimes some cold... But now with Mana shield Cold is going to be quite powah;). Should fire be out then?

Bump... Help still needed:)

Some spear skills actually are usefull for nukers, therefor phys. damaga can be very handy at times.

I'd love to provide you with the names of the skills, but i've been away from SRO to long.

I'm sure other people can fill those blanks.

Physical damage has no effect on nukes.

If you are pure int you generally nuke and lion shout only in pve.

Pvp you use weapon skills, for the stun and knock back.

As of right now, I have no weapon skills. But, I also am farming and am focused on PvE, and not PvP. When i'm done farming, I plan to get the knock back, stun, and Souls Spear series for my spearman.

Wrong, in pvp most people whether int or str both use weapon skills. The important ones for spear are soul spear and ghost spear.
