Chinese Build : your advice please

[NightSky]

It has been a long time since ive played a chinese char, so just asking for some advice. I was looking to either make 1. a pure str glaiver(cold,light,heaskul) 2. a hybrid s/s nuker(cold,light,bicheon) or 3. a pure str blader

My Questions:
1. Which do you believe is better in pvp/pve?
2. will my build be a failure without the fire tree?
3. cold or light imbue? i was leaning towards cold for the pure str and light for the int. Your thoughts?
4. if i were to make a blader what would you suggest the skill tree to be? light/cold/bicheon? or?? not really sure on thhat part, i don't want more than 3 trees.

All help and advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
NightSky

Here is my answers:

1) Glavie
2) Fire is a must for str chars imo. You should go for heuk100/fire100/cold100 or heuk100/fire100/light80/cold20
3) None. Fire imbue
4) Bicheon100/Fire100/light80/cold20 or Bicheon100/Fire100/Light100

Do not forget without fire shield you will not be immune to cold/fire/light/poison

People may suggest you different things. Just decide yourself.

1) Hybrid s/s and glaives are generally good for both pve and pvp. Blader is good for pvp but pve is slower.
2)It won't be an absolute failure but u will end up needing fire
3)Cold for str's, light for the int's, the damage between them is very small if ur pure str
4)U must max bicheon and fire. Then the best choices are probably 80Light/20Cold, 100Cold or 100Force.

1. a pure str glaiver(cold,light,heaskul),
2. a hybrid s/s nuker(cold,light,bicheon), or
3. a pure str blader.

Your answers from above choices:
1. Which do you believe is better in pvp/pve?
pvp: pure str blader/pve: hybrid s/s nuker.

2. will my build be a failure without the fire tree?
No, build will not failed but you lose in,
1. damage as pure str heuksal,
2. damage using bicheon skills (depended on phy %), and
3. damage using bicheon skills.

3. cold or light imbue? i was leaning towards cold for the pure str and light for the int. Your thoughts?
Imbue have different effects and playability depends on how you choose to grind/pvp/pve.

4. if i were to make a blader what would you suggest the skill tree to be? light/cold/bicheon? or?? not really sure on thhat part, i don't want more than 3 trees.
You are leaning towards bicheon types. With STR, bicheon and fire are most desirable with only two trees. light tree will give you more speed and DEF but both have work around methods.

1. a pure str glaiver(cold,light,heaskul)

huh ?!
1.glavie build - 100 fire 100 heuksal 100 light , or 100 fire 100 heuksal 80 light 20 ice
2.hybrid s/s nuker ? .. go pure int - 100 ice bich light
3.blader - 100 fire 100 bich 100 light or 100 fire 100 bich 100 ice ..choose between ice/light . speed vs phy def , i'd choose speed
