Question about Whether to go with pure INT or STR

Hi Guys,
I'm very unsure about choosing whether I should go with pure INT or STR.
I wear Garment, have a spear/glavie and upgrade the masteries Heuksal, Lightning and Cold. So far I am on lvl. 26 and kept 25 stat points. I myself would rather go with pure Int, but does pure int match well with Garment? Help will be much appreciated- thanks, gulhassan

Garment have a better mag def than armor or protector
It also have a 20% mp reduction when using skillz.
which is quite usefull.
But, as a pure INT you will suffer from the lack of phy def.
Its your choice.

So how would it be if I keep garment but don't go pure and instead like always have 2000 mp more than hp e.g I would have 2000hp and 4000mp?
Would this choice be better for pvp and so on?
Btw I don't want just a choice I want the best choice, lol

well, if your pure int, you WANT to get armour. protects your hp since it will be low.
and really, there is no best choice, but the one i would recomend would be int. your magical attacks will be a lot stronger, but your phy. def would be a lot less. you can kill something your lvl with in bout 2 or 3 hits, but it can kill you in about 4 - 5 hits. so there are some ups and downs.

i know you want the best choice, but there is none really. its your choice. str you have more hp and stronger attcks w/o magic and youll have low mag. balance which is bad if you want to be a nuker

int you have much stronger magic attacks but a LOT less hp. and int is the only way to go to be a pawning nuker

so i would suggest int but i am pure str, but it is totally up to you. measure the odds and see which one you like the most, and do NOT be hybrid! :banghead:

pure int use armour set and pure str use garment set, so switch to armour if your going to be pure int.

One more thing. I'm pure int and when I'm fighting monsters my lvl I haven't died once. Everyone makes out like it's REALLY easy to die when you go pure int, but you don't really die easily. I have an SoS sword (shield is great for int, helps with the HP loss by having blocking ratio) and I p00n red monsters.
I'm just saying you don't die a WHOLE lot in PvM.

when ppl talk about the eazy deaths of ints thay mainly talk about pvp

pve wize mobs dont realy offer much of a challange as long as thay dont gang up on you

avoid atracting to many mobs on you in pve and youl have no probs grinding

ive got the pure int in garms single element lighting nuker lvl 37 ( no gold tickets , im not paying joymax jack )on tibet to prove it
i just have a lil under 1100 hp and ive got no problem grinding at a fast grinding speed at all even with the extreme suckage gears i have atm :cry:

i do suck in pvp tho couse i cant take hits from players to well

but meh , 0 lvl gap lvl's so nice and fast
