Just get s/s. No point carrying a bunch of wep unless you have tie. I know friends that lost their sox cuz they thought it would be fun to carry it with them. When you die there's a small chance something from your inventory will drop too.

Since you're Pure Force, you will def need s/s. Once snow runs out, you will have to pray ironwall and block to save your life.

No... at most have sword at 30. You will only have enough sp for 3 things at lvl 100. So if you want to be a pure force nuker, you will have to give up wep. Ice, light, force. If you want to keep all force only, than i'd say get spear and a shield for blocks if you can afford it. I forgot you wanted to be pure force. Ice, light, force max is already 270/300. If you are afraid of dying, use s/s to have max def at all time. If you are good and risky, get spear to hit harder and a good shield with high BR to fight.

Well I guess since you are force nuker the other skills won't matter. imo spear's damage isn't a lot higher than sword's, but when you are killing mobs that can't touch you, spear might let you go to higher level mobs. maybe grind with spear to cap, then get sword for group pvp.

true ... but that little more dmg, ie ~10% more than sword, can mean u could 1nuke KO mobs easier. however, the little more dmg of spear over sword doesnt seem worth the sacrifice of a shield. level up sword. train/hunt with spear.
