y after lvl 80 would fire nukes be useless?

[alcoholic]

im a pure int sword i would like to know what other people would sugesst to do. to go with fire and light or go with ice and light ? sorry for asking alot of question im just a confused newbie

[ranger4life]

its just the last current book of the fire nukes r useless, the other nukes r nice

[blader3]

how is it useless ?

[Regret]

It wont be completely useless,More on the "outdated" side, because new lightning nuke pwns it.

[Disconn3cted]

its not useless its just lightning nuke becomes stronger but at around the 100 cap fire becomes better again

[Regret]

It does? Then what about 110 \120 cap?

[gangster935]

We don't know yet, because skills change every time a new cap comes. If then fire nukes become stronger, probably we will have to switch again.

thats why im saying Hybrids Dont Drop Fire For Ice You WILL Regret It I Promise You That, reason why is 5th fire nuke is stronger then flame wave wide and comes at lvl 83 -.-

EDIT: But since your pure int i would go ice instead of fire because u need the defence.

It's not that the fire nukes are not great; it's just that more important skills are available in the other trees, like piercing in the lightning tree, snow shield in the cold tree, and knockdown, stun, etc. in the weapon tree.

[magisuns]

phulshof is right... come into our 100 cap with fire\light\*weap* and your kinda certain to die to a soul spear->ghost spear combo and mayb another hit... And why do you need sum extra mag def or phy atk =|... immunity is out of the question unless you got a cleric . I say go light\cold\bich or heuksal. You gotta be able 2 take enough hits 2 chop off the 34k of hp glaviers got now and enough to even get near a bow user.Pure offensive int builds aint gonna be able to do the job

The fire nukes are actually strongest, lightning nukes stay at 300% all the way to lvl120, while at lvl80 the 3rd book fire nuke goes to 330%, and maxes at about lvl100+, fire nukes beyond lvl100 are all 315% while lightning stays at 300%

It's basically the question whether or not to sacrifice attack power for defence

The fire nukes with higher % are also the ones with higher execution time, so when you look at damage/second it won't help you very much.

It's not only because the fire nuke is less powerful at 90 cap, it's also because the mastery limit forces you to choose fire, cold, or weapon to level down, and with euro power we know cold is pretty much a must for nukers, and weapons are what gives nukers advantage over euro casters, so you don't want to lose that either...ends up that fire is the least useful.

+1 I absolutely agree.

You need light for the speed, mag attack buffs and ice for defence. Light nukes now have almost the same damage as fire nukes (maybe more at the 90 cap as some people say)

ok then
