What fire skills to get?

I'm pure str/fire/glaive.

So far I maxed up first book and onto the second book on the fire force series.

But which other ones do I get what would be good for me?

Just keep on maxing out the top fire one, cuz your STR and your wearing armour all your skills will be better used towards weapon skills. Your character is exactly like my Tsarkon one.

When you attack monsters you should run up to them and enable your soul spear first as your drawing your glaive back use fire so the first attack is your strongest combining fire/soul spear.

After that you get about 5 seconds to use another skill, use either ghost petal or chain tiger.

I'm going for chain tiger but whichever you use is up to you.

If you can keep fire, soul spear and one of those two maxed out you'll own everything on your level in a couple of shots and definitely anything 3 or 4 levels higher before the fire magic runs out.

All of the other fire skills are a bit crap in my opinion, the defense ones especially you may as well just buy some +3 armour or some 3 STR armour.

but arent there the +3% phy dmg buff, and the passive +1% phy buff? i'd assume those are good?

unless of course i'm mis-interpretting the meaning of first book....

It's totally up to you, there are fire skills that give you 3% extra this and 3% extra that but the further you go with those the more SP your gonna be spending, when really you can just buy a few extra HP pots or better armours than waste SP which would be doing the same thing.

It's about what works best for you, higher damage dished out or less damage taken etc

I'd rather have the highest damage possible and just buy more pots and armour as an alternative to HP protection.

If anything, you could get the bottom fire skill, it adds 100hp to your maximums. It's not essential though.

lol nobody ever notices the scrollbar on the skills page, myself included until about level 20 sometimes, you'd think they'd make it a bit more clearer.

black mamba, things that you mentioned can be obtained at the same time... SP points isnt really a problem if you sp farm. If you dont sp farm, you will have troubles very soon. And you can still get more pots to suit ur needs... and remember, 3% is just the beginning, it adds up soon. Lets say u have 10% bonus. With a 1000 damage hit, you get 100dmg more as a bonus. For pvp, its a very good advantage. Remeber your pots dont heal instantly and it cant be repeated without delay time, so buffs work very nicely.

Its like saying why bother getting skills if you can obtain +9 items for everythign you have...
