PURE INT S/S Variations

[Nemesis]

I am a lvl 54 pure int s/s with only light/cold and I was wondering what i should do for my third mastery.

Options are:

Fire: Strong nukes, mag. defense

Bich: KD, shield stuff

Force: Self heal

I guess my big question is do you think force is a viable option here, i mean both fire and bich have defensive qualities that a nuker needs, but is force even better?

Please give me thoughts, opinions, explanations, etc on which you think is best and why.

Thanks a bunch.

Depends what you want to do

Team player = fire for that extra dmg
Solo=Bicheon
Powerlvl ppl and make money = Force

Bicheon, ice, light is probably one of the MOST common build for pure int s/s now. Probably because it was really good at 80-90 cap. I think it's going to start getting weak though since your only real dmging nuke will be the last light nuke. Not much of a nuker when you only have 1 strong hit. I would rather go hybrid if i was a light ice sword simply for more sword dmg since you only have 1 int-based attack.

Like Goseki said, depends what you want.

If i was to make a int i would have bich/light/ice
because i'd want snow shield and castle shield for defence because of the bad HP then use spear if i wanted extra damage for party play.
But if you have good gear and are a strong hybrid with a good amount of HP go fire, extra damage and mag def

Most common in bich/light/ice.

Thanks guys, though i think im gonna go with fire, i really dont see bich as being better, im pure int so no phys attacks

been playing the events and i still get owned by nukes, so ill get the mag defense with fire, plus another good nuke, cause ive been using ice for secondary nuke.

ill need a really good set of armor.

Yes you will. With no bicheon, you'll have to rely on seeing the opponent first, getting a safe distance to charge your nukes. You'll do fine in group pvp if you have someone to help get close to the enemy and distract them while you nuke them from behind. I wouldn't go 1vs1 though, you'll prob need to cast a wall and hope it lasts while u charge the nuke. Good luck.
