hybrid spear

[LheraJ]

i am making a hybrid int spear char , it is lvl 20 now and i am a bit confused what my magg balance would be , its at 80% now

should i go 85%-80%-75%-70% magg balance
pls help me

[MrH]

go pure int to lvl 69..then start adding 1-2str per level till you reach 80.

In the 70's your phy should be 68-72% and mag should be 100-103%.

You could do what MrH says. But he is only thinking about lvl 80. Mostlikly it will take you a LOOOOONG time to get to 80 so you should go hybrid the whole way.

When you have any clothes that have int or str on them take them off. Look at your magic balance keep it around 80% at least until you get your nukes. Once you play your character you can decide if you want your nukes to hit harder or if you want more HP. Then you can fine tune it from there.

Most people will recommend a naked magic balance between 70% and pure int. Where you want to end up will depend on your playing style.

well, the point in making a hybrid spear would be the ability to mix nukes and weapon skills and do relatively great damage with both.

nuke damage with the naked balance of 70%~84% is relatively useless (and if the balance is at 70%, consider changing into the hybrid bow build)

most people will say the range of 85%~90% (although 90% seems to be better for s/s) is good for spears. the end balances for this range yields high nuke dmg and good weapon damage.

take your pick

I'm going 83%-85%, but i'm going pure int to lvl 42 then im starting adding str, because if your like me and want to finish farming faster. As an spear you don't need as much int, to hit the same damage as a sword, so would you rather like 1-2 k hp more, or 500 more nuke damage?

[LheraJ]

thanks for your help
i am bored of nuking so , i only would use heuksal skills and gonna keep the 80% ,I think it is good

the guy who mentioned 70:70 bow build, dnt do it, i got 1 right now, L80 full farmed ice/light, they are totally useless, cannot kill L80 pure int S/S in garms when hes stood still not attking. This is with the stupid bow bug btw, can only use 1 book strong bow.

Don't listen to him.

You need damage, not health. Str should always come later, no exceptions. Virtually every experienced player I know who has started a 70:70 char, has gone full int until they'vereached their planned stat cap. Str just bottlenecks your char in the crucial lower levels, and lvl 40 is an easy feat. Choosing str over int for the easiest of levels doesn't make sense.

doesnt really matter how you build your char, as long as you max it out.]

anyways for me it was different.

First 7 lvls pure str. 3 stat points into str for 7 lvls, thats 21 more str points. then for the rest go pure int. leaves you with 90% mag damg.

80 spear 80 cold 80 light 60 fire // 90 spear 90 cold 90 light 30 fire

[Swindler]

around 36% mag and 110% str

no 85% for a hybrid int spear

[sifkal]

if wanna use nukes well keep %90 naked magical balance thats all.

[Ice_Warrior]

not really, i'm 70:70 spear now, changed from bow, my nukes are still very effective only about 1-2k less dmg, but still a very gud strong opener in PVP.
