Hey I was wondering if being a full int 100 cold/light/fire nuker was any good? That or I was thinking 100 spear/light/cold
Any ideas?
O and this would be a pve character, with very little pvp

100 light/cold/fire definately is the best for PvE. But I would really consider 100 heuksal/light/cold, it'll give a lot of variation.

100 Heuksal/light/cold is better in pvp imo

Either 100heuksal/100cold/100lightning or 100bicheon/100cold/100lightning are better at 1vs1 pvping when compared to 100fire/100lightning/100cold, which is better at group pvping and at PvE.

Not really. It's hard to attack when all of your skills get canceled because you are frozen.

That's in general. And you can freeze/frostbite as well. If you are really that worried about freezing, go for 100weapon/100fire/100cold, or 100weapon/99light/90cold/11fire if you are willing to sacrifice some considerable physical defense for immunity. And maybe, you could go for 100weapon/100fire/60cold/40light, but I really wouldn't recommend this one because of it's massive lack of cold, and you should go hybrid if you choose it.

The only time this character would be doing pvp is for jobs (which I don't do often). 100cold/light/fire does this have any problems since it has no weapon skill?
What I was thinking about this build was -Cold will give me extra armor -Fire will give me immunities -Light will give speed, also would be using light nukes most

The only actual situation where fire/cold/light is not so good is at 1vs1 pvping, but it still does considerably good if used correctly. But it shines at group pvping (or jobbing) and grinding. Another drawback of this build is the SP farming, which will be considerable.
What I was thinking about this build was -Cold will give me extra armor Yes, cold gives survivability in general and also enables you to freeze/frostbite. -Fire will give me immunities Yes, and also it'll give you the strongest nukes, the strongest imbue, fire wall and magical defense. -Light will give speed, also would be using light nukes most Fire nukes are better and stronger than lightning nukes. Lightning gives speed/mobility, magical attack % and lion shouts.

I would only choose fire/light/ice if I was going to do nothing but have an 8man pt and job war 24/7. In Pvp you will be kb'd/kd'd/stunned til the cows come home... or until your snow shield runs out and you're dead, whichever you prefer .
1:30-2:27 and 3:35-4:17
Code: Select all

I don't pvp so thats not a problem. The question was, is this a viable build or am I going to be dying every 2 secs from a lack of weapon tree

Yes, it's very viable. You'll be really really hard to kill if you switch to s/s and use snow shield + all the defense from cold and fire. You'll be a monster dealing extremely high damage and be nearly impossible to kill for 2 minutes.

I giggled at the end of your post "..for 2 minutes". Once his snow is done he could just get blessed or be given warrior screens.

I didn't consider any kind of external influence, that's what he can do completely alone. Of course he could get bless/screens/tambours/marches/dances/etc as any build can.
