Lightning

flynch · Post by **flynch** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 11:26 pm

I was thinking.

My current build is a pure str glaive. I was thinking instead of going for the usual full fire. Maybe i'd go for just, full lightning. Is there anyone who can tell me the benefits or disadvantages of this? If this is a really bad idea then tell me please xD. One last thing. Cursed heart quests again, got some potions, but it only lets me delevel the actual skills, how do i dlvl the whole mastery lvl?

And ONE last thing, anywhere i can get a list of all the skills?

Only bonus for full lightning is the transfer damage, fire does more base damage and has no transfer other than the 3rd fire nuke.

It's not a horrible idea, but if you're above level 40, don't do it, it'll cost tons of money in deleveling, and time in cursed hearts.

To delevel a mastery level, you must first delevel all of the skills for that certain level, and then the mastery, and so on...

Hope it helped,

Holy jesus, i'm gunna have to delevel them all now then while im still lvl 25. Ok thanks for that. Thing is, I see no pure lightnings. So I thought ya know, maybe I should be one of the rarities ^^. I'll look at the skills in the lightning class first and decide then then.

Edit: that skill calculator sucked, i want to know what they do not what they're called. xD Sorry.

Fire is boring, because everyone has it, i'd go lightening, because even though its a lil weaker, u can transfer damage, plus have grass walk, and phantom that could help get u outta tough situations, and fire u only get imbue and some other buff for phys, boring. I quit my glaver actualy to make a Hybrid int. Well my votes lightening...... *nub question, whats "bump" *

This guide has all the pros and cons of which force trees to lvl. It also explains what parry is.

If you have any questions after reading it just ask.

meh. Fire is the base for all str players. Has the Phys attack increases and magic defense increases. Plus, if you have the patience go full fire, light and glaive. You;ll be ok till over the 100 cap anyway =P

I don't see why they don't raise the mastery points you are allowed to have when they raise the gaps...

i'm doing full heuskal, fire, lightning and 60 pacheon... and when they do the 100 gap I will have to cut pacheon back down... but I am sure they won't do this for awhile...

The first 'point' is stupid beyond comprehension, transfer damage is magic damage only and as a full strength build you'll have a nice set of 1's and lots and lots of mobs coming to bid you farewell.

All the guys always forget, that the lightning effect makes the parry ratio of your enemy lower... Means that you can deal often more damage on monsters with that effect, than with fire. If you want to use not that many sp, then take lightning, but its a little bit bad as a pure str. Its better there to have the phy. damage increases. If force would be better and if it wouldn't cost that much sp, then i would go to lighting and force instead of fire. xD

Ah ok. Well i'm gunna go with light, just to be different ^^. Besides you never know what the next bunch of light skills will be. You never know, after the lvl increase everyone might be like "z0mg should have gone with light"
