New Pure Int Builds

andrejat · Post by **andrejat** » Mon Aug 06, 2007 4:51 am

I'm having a serious delema... First of, Im lvl 55 and here is my skill set up ( 0 gap all the way )

40 HeukSai
53 Ice
50 Light

Now, when I pve I use sword and shield for defense purposes and block. How should I make my build? I got ice for the Mana shield which is very nice at 30% + my own shield, but im limited to only my book 1 and book 2 lightning nukes.

I added book 1 ( level 1 ) and book 2 ( level 1 ) ice nukes to supplement the lack of fire- for the moment. It seems like this mana shield hype got to me, and now im regretting skipping out on fire

Although I love surviving 1 hit kills from rogues and wizards when a pure in 5-6 levels higher then me with no mana shield dies on the spot ^^

What should I do guys? How can I keep my mana shield at 30 or 40% in higher levels, but still have the damage of a real nuker! Also, I am staying S/S and just havent added skills for it yet. So spear is only for health.. Ugh!

Help me! I need options!

delema = dilemma?

what do you mean by 0 gap all the way... are you seriously lacking skills? or what? and right now, you have 2 gap, so 0 ALL the way doesn't make sense...

I'd say continue with ice/light fire does more damage, but I don't think it's worth it that much. If you like s/s so badly, get something like

80 Bicheon / 80 Light / 80 ice / 60 Heuksal or something

Lol, I ment 55 Ice ^^ And yes, that build sounds just like what I want!

But should I get ice nukes? ; / I like the second one only, but the third book ice nuke is absolute crap. Should I just level up second book ice nuke, and lightning nukes to full potential?

Also, I use ice imbue ^^ Almost no difference from lightning, plus the freeze pisses off people! Here is my strategy...

Spam Lightbook 3
Spam Lightbook 2
Spam Icebook 2
Light Shout skill- immediate
Sword Knockdown skill- if sucess, stab, repot.
Repeat ^^

Also, mana shield would be right away, and the shield block/phys defense skills would be in case im going against high crit bower or a higher level glaiver.

Is this any good? I was thinking if I get in some trouble to go to spear and knockback/stun as I run to repot or try to finish em, and with that range, I can try one final nuke to kill off their hp, considering spear can dish out huge damage when it needs to.
