Heya Peeps!

Okai, so i farmed 1.4m SP on a new char for myself to have a fun time, im planning to be A unique build "yay"..

My PLANNED build WAS;

100 Bow,
100 Blade,
100 Fire.

Now, after some thinking.. i'll have a shield, but would this build be better/more effective if my masterys were slightly "tweaked".. To say,

100 Bow
100 Blade
80 Fire
20 Cold

Im going to be loosing alot of mag defence, lower imbue, but i will gain the 20% snow..

The SP for the first option is - 1,645,674

The SP for the second option is - 1,348,142

Opinions NEEDED!

I'm not a fan of dual builds at this high of a cap. They were better around 60-70-80 caps.

I'd probably go with the second build. You won't lose much imbue damage since a pure str's imbue damage doesn't change that much. The only downside is that you lose some of fires buffs which are helpful for str chars. But I think snow shield will make up for that.

you lose 2% phy damage from the fire passive and some magical defense (20% snowshield is better than the maxed fire buff though) and some imbue damage.. which isn't much for a pure str as you stated

second option.
