I am in the process of farming my S/S nuker, but I am bewildered as to a suitable build for him. I'm not sure if fire should be a major factor in a s/s build, but a lot of other people would disagree. If anyone has any experience with nuker builds, please answer:

Which is best---

bich100/ice100/light100
bich80/light80/fire80/cold60
bich100/fire100/light100
bich90/cold90/light90/fire30

As for the criteria, I am interested in a great PvE build that could also potentially be good at PvP

bich100/ice100/light100 an all around build, it works well in pve
bich80/light80/fire80/cold60 you would be incredibly weak
bich100/fire100/light100 you would have no chance in PvP
bich90/cold90/light90/fire30 lol no.

you left out 100bich/100fire/100cold. This build is the choice of alot of nukers now. Essentially your choosing between Speed and parry ratio in the light tree or physical damage increase, magical defense increase, immunity, and firewall in the fire tree.

yes, but doesnt the light tree have a mag. att buff? i get what you are saying, but isnt the mag att useful?

yes it does, im not 100% sure if the buff makes the lightning nuke stronger then the fire, so maybe soemone else could answer and clear that up.

It comes close. Which is why people the majority go bich/light/cold

you could also go 100 fire/ice/light the chinese wiz build not so good for 1v1 but awsome after lvl 30 for pve and grp pvp

3rd time to post this....
the Piercing Force buff at lightning increases magical DAMAGE, not the attack power, so it kinda ignores the enemies defence, while fire nukes just have more attack power which hits the enemies defence.
->lightning nuker vs good defence > Fire nuker vs good defence

so in my opinion it would be 100bich 100light 100 ice....(MAYBE 80 ice for 20 fire -> immune)

LOL, no...

id say
light cold bich
or
fire cold bich

More for griding 100bich/light/ice would be good with trading not quite as good pvp no immunity
100bich/fire/cold- More pvp based, use fire nukes for grinding, may want speed pots. my fav

Want both- 100 bich/100 fire/60ice/40light- this may be the build for you,adjustable depending on need down to just 34 light for buffs. I have no experience with this one but mixing up the ice/light masteries increases your damage (highest of listed builds), gives some speed and would be fast grinding, less sp needed, lower snow shield is ok for monsters and probably won't kill you in pvp with protector on.
