the good.. the bad... and the skills to be ignored

well ive been looking and looking around threads and posts... was wondering what kind of masteries are the must-have for which type of weapon... something similar to this:

Blade - STR Build

* Stat points: All STR
* Skill Trees:
> Swordmanship: Concentrate on Chain Sword Attack series, Blade Force series and the Shield Protection passive. Hidden Blade and Killing Heaven series aren't really used in PvE but good to have for PvP. Shield Technique is very good for defensive players.
> Force Skills: I suggest Cold or Fire. Cold for defensive builds and Fire for offensive.
Cold: Cold Force series, Frost Nova series, and Cold Armor passive.
Fire: Fire Force series, Flame Body series and Flame Devil passive.

Sword - INT Build

* Stat points: All INT or 1:2
* Skill Trees:
> Swordmanship: Concentrate on Chain Sword series and Shield Protection passive. A little bit of Hidden Blade and Killing Heaven also suggested.
> Force Skills: For PvP go Cold + Lightning. For PvE go Fire + Lightning.
Lightning: Wind Walk series, Lion Shout series, Heaven's Force passive
Cold: Cold Force series, Frost Guard series, Cold Armor passive, maybe one Frost Nova and Snow Storm series
Fire: Fire Force series, Fire Protection series and Flame Wave series

Glaive - STR Build

* Stat points: All STR
* Skill Trees:
> Spearmanship: Concentrate on Soul Departs series, Chain Spear series, Cheolsam HP passive. Flying Dragon series Flying Dragon-Fly lvl1. Ghost Spear series good for dungeons.
> Force Skills: Train Fire as your main and Lightning or Cold for support. (All three if you're gonna SP farm forever.)
Fire: Fire Force series, Flame Body series and Flame Devil passive
Lightning: WindWalk series, Concentration Series, Heaven's Force passive. Piercing Force series good later on.
Cold: Cold Force series, Frost Nova series, and Cold Armor passive

Spear - INT Build

* Stat points: All INT recommended since Spearmanship gives HP bonus passive. 1:2 ok too.
* Skill Trees:
> Spearmanship: Cheolsam passive, Chain Spear is good to learn.
> Force Skills: Lightning highly suggested. Thunder Force series, Wind Walk series, Lion Shout series, Thunderbolt series, Heaven's Force passive.

Bow - STR Build

* Stat points: All STR
* Skill Trees:
> Bowmanship: Concentrate on Anti Devil series, Arrow Combo series, White hawk and Blue Hawk, Break Heaven series, Mind concentration passive.
> Force Skills: Cold highly suggested. Cold force series, Frost Guard and Cold Armor. lvl1 Frost Nova-Wind can save your ass in bad situations. Lightning or Fire good to train for support if you can afford the SP. Lightning if you want more runspeed and accuracy. Fire if you want more damage.

it all depends... some guildmates have told me wonders about hte 2nd or 3rd book of the cold wall thing.. also it can be argued (theres a dicussion about it) for fire str blade being better than ice str blade.

first of all, i thought that video was interesting, and will be looking into that later on.

but anyway... to RaiKiRii... that interested me, what you said... what about the Cold wall?

If I could switch between a bow, spear and shield with hotkeys, I would use those extra skills, too.

You know those F1 to F4 and each Function Key has up to 10 slots?
Put different weapons into the slots.

E.G. Shield into slot 1. Bow into slot 2. Fire Force Shield (the skill that reduces error effect) into slot 3. Summon White Hawk skill into slot 4.
Press 1. Shield is equipped.
Press 3 to cast the Fire Force Shield.
Press 2. Bow is equipped.
Press 4 to cast White Hawk.

If your primary weapon is a spear, then put it into Slot 5. After finish casting all your buffs, press 5.
