atm i'm a lv 22 spear/glavie (i actually don't really know the diff between spear and a glavie, i always just picked up watever weapon!) user, and i've always been wondering why i'm so freakin weak! I never paid attention to the str and int stuff, so i've always been investing in str since it gives hp, but every so often i put in some int just to compensate. Now i have about 90 pts in str and about 60 in int, and my balance is 85/56% or sth like that. I use armor, but i use a spear (dammit!)
As for skills, I have invested only very little (i always forget to check the skills tree). I have invested in the lightning tree cuz i thought it was cool, and mastery of that is about lv 16? I also invested in my heuksal, obviously, and that's around lv 17 or so. As a mistake, one day i thought it'd be nice to have resurrection, so I dumped all my sp into force just to get the skill, and although i help others when i see them, it's useless since i'm dying all the time
now i'm saving up curst hearts to delevel the useless items in that tree like self heal (WTF? i used it like once!) That's about it for skills...no fire, no ice, no bow, no swords.
Since i'm mostly into STR, does that mean i'm a strength build, or a hybrid because i have INT too? Should I continue to put into STR and keep some sort of ratio? How will this affect my ability to deal damage and wat not?
When i kill mobs, i usually start off with imbuing lightning, and then hit till they're dead. On a chakji worker i deal around 200 damage with lightning imbued and about 80 without. Is that about right, or should someone at the same level/skills as me be stronger/weaker? How can i improve?
As for the skills, what are buffs, and should i invest in another tree, say fire? should i use a glavie or spear? glavie focuses on phy attack, where spear is mag attack, but what exactly is a mag attack? does imbuing your weapon with lightning make it a mag attack? but then again, who DOESN"T use imbue for their attacks?? since everyone uses at least one of the 3 elements (fire, ice, light), does that make everybody a mag attack person?
Anyway, i have said way too much, and i will post again if i have more questions. I hope i can learn from this! Thanks!
