PURE INT: Spear or Bow or S/S

[sincool]

Which build is better for a Chinese pure int?
What are the advantages and disadvantages for each build?

Thx in advance

fire cold heuksal

Spoiler!

advantages:
- high damage with fire imbue, fire nukes hit hard
- high mag./phys defence
- 2 walls: usage according to situation
- immunity vs cold/electr./poison/fire
- freeze probability if you take the ice imbue
- able to take some hits with the extra hp from heuksal

disadvantages:
- like every build without light:
lack of speed parry and for some, mag. attack(though fire makes up for that with a stronger imbue).

summary:
good all arounder, very good pvper/group pvper.
just eats more money due to speed drugs

light cold bicheon

Spoiler!

advantages:
- relatively high damage
- high phys defence
- debuffs from chains help you reduce damage taken and increase damage dealt
- block and extra defence from shield
- freeze probability if you take the ice imbue

disadvantages:
- lack of some mag. defence
- lack of immunity which can let an opponents ice imbue annoy you.
- without snow shield you have to spam knockdown and hope for blocks, otherwise you are done for

summary:
the good old basic nuker build, good for as an all arounder, does well in pvp and lvling.
But like all builds: snow shield dependant.



light cold bow

Spoiler!

advantages:
- extremely high damage
- high phys defence
- range and extreme damage make you a very fast lvler
- freeze probability if you take the ice imbue

disadvantages:
- lack of overall defence/hp compared to heuksal and bicheon: you die fairly easily
- lack of immunity which can let an opponents ice imbue annoy you.
- without snow shield you have to spam knockback in pvp or ghost walk away til lyou have it back. without snow shield you are kind of like a chinese wizard, except they dont carry arrowsand you will not die quite as easily.

summary:
fastest lvling chinese build because of throwing around such high damage-> pve king
lack of survivability makes it less of a pvp character though, so unless it is equipped with +4 or better armor you might as well stick to grinding and group pvp.







edit: and i'd go for fire/cold bicheon
great defence+block rate , debuffs give you enough attack

i wanted to tell thread starter to look around for posts instead of asking but yea you did a great job.

was thinking about that too, but post count +1

Is Lightning/Cold/Fire a better build than Bicheon/Lightning/Cold for a pure int?

dude. first you have to tell us whether you want it to be more PVE or PVP inclined.

Pure Force Nuker, IMO, is pure PVE. Without crits its hard to kill in PVP. Thats really the only reason why people choose to take a weapon tree in the first place.
