Worth Upgrade of Imbue past First Book

Post by pjigglenuts »

Hello
I'm a pure strength fire blade.
Is it worth it getting past the first or second book of my imbue?
Thanks in advance

yes, the higher the imbue is the more dmg you will do

you should focus on your weapon skills but level your imbue whenever you cant level you main grinding skills

Yeah.

Str Builds should focus on Weapon Skills than Magic, but of any Force skill to boost would be your imbue. Each level does more damage.

The other good thing about leveling up the imbue is the time of effect. For example the first book has 4 secs time, the second 5 secs the third has 6 secs. So for a str build it is good to level up your imbues cuz this way you can kill higher level monsters as your Imbue has more time (you can hit more times)

P.S. Imbue damage helps more the STR users than the INT users or it is equal. It is a solid damage. For example my imbue gives 200 damage. My nuke will increase for 200 damage. But you have like 50% magic balance so it would be like 100 dmg but you hit like 4-5 times.

int need the imbue. An int w/o imbue = poo dmg. Str don't need the imbue as much, but it helps

I was talking about the Imbue solid damage, not the imbue itself.
The imbue gives 100% mag. damage that is why it help the INT characters more. But it also gives solid damage (in my example 200) that helps the STR users more. 100% of the magic damage is alot (Nukes 250% or 300% + 100% Imbue = 350%, 400%) The STR characters have low magic balance and damage so the % doesn't do much damage. The solid damage does. My point was that the difference between lvl 5 Imbue and lvl 70 imbue is not that big for INT chars, than the difference for the STR characters (cuz the % is equal (100%) and only solid damage increases)
