Basically, a S/S should be, IMO, pure INT, or 90% mag. balance naked. I've seen S&S hybrids, but I've never played one: I was always satisfied with my pure INT.

The three masteries you need to focus on are Lightning, Cold and Bicheon. Fire should be leveled to 30 only.

IMO, PvP becomes fun when you get two knockdown skills and two stab skills. That means level 45. having maxed cold tree means that the build has plenty of added physical defense. Also, having low fire means you don't get to benefit from a high level of fire protection (mag. defense buff from the fire tree). Thus, you'll be wearing garments. Garments are also good to decrease your MP consumption, and you'll be able to use higher books of snow shield with ease.

At higher levels, you lose mag. defense. In protectors, you'll get raped by INT hybrids with maxed fire!

Maybe as an opener. If you nuke, you're exposed for three long seconds. However, if you KD, you get the chance to re-pot and also deal damage :)

Nukers dont nuke much in pvp. The imbue alone causes the kd's to hit hard as hell.
Sneak one in when you can, followed by a quick KD.
Most deadly thing for any euro is to be KD'd by a farmed nuker (for warriors/rogues)

Most nukers start pvp nuke/kd/stabs/either lightning chain or flying stone smash/kd/stabs etc.
a nuking nuker is a vulnerable one. For 3 secs you cant interrupt an attack.

You do use your nukes, just sparingly....as the_wicked stated, those 3secs to take to cast your nuke leaves you open, let alone nukes don't interrupt your opponent's movement.

Hm...isn't the highest Snow Shield you can get @ 60 only 40% absorption?

anyways, interesting build ya got there....just dunno how you'll do w/ bicheon at 60, though.

Most s/s builds I see nowadays are either 90 Bicheon, Lightning, Cold, 30 Fire
or 90 Fire, 90 Bicheon, 60 Cold, Light
