So, I was wondering what I should do here. Right now my build is hybrid int spear(1 str 2 int till Lv30, so 10 levels). My mastery's are 110 heuksal/fire, 80 cold, 30 lightning. Should I stay this or go 110 heuksal/lightning/cold?

Here's some things I've messed around with.

Lv96 lightning:
Imbue: 589 ~ 1093
Lv90 lightning nuke: 1183 ~ 2197
Magical damage buff: +18%
My spear: 2308 ~ 2735

Imbue+nuke+spear = 4080 ~ 6025, that's 100% magical damage, plus the 18% extra from the buff, so multiply both 4080 and 6025 by 118%, and your final magical damage for a lightning nuke at Lv96 is 4814 ~ 7110.

Lv96 fire:
Imbue: 742 ~ 1237
Lv96 fire nuke: 1267 ~ 2112
Magical damage buff: +7%
My spear: 2308 ~ 2735

imbue+nuke+spear = 4317 ~ 6084, that's 100% magical damage, plus the 7% extra from the buff(Lv30 lightning), so multiply 4317 and 6084 by 107% and your final magical damage for fire 4619 ~ 6510.

So by my calculations, lightning has more damage than fire at the same level, same weapon, just a different buff, also the speed from lightning would be faster at leveling, and the parry ratio would be pretty good. What are your thoughts?

I still think fire is a lot better than lightning. And I think you should change your sp distribution lol - It won't work as well as you may think Fire seems to be more pvp based, with the nukes, and lightning for pve. But if you think that the phantom, and speed from lightning will benefit your playing type more than fire, then you should change

wooo your int based but you only have 30 lightning o_o.. I believe that if your int based you need lightning as your main elemental tree.
I would get 110 lightning instead of fire.
Because you have more damage with the lightning tree then fire (you proved it yourself)
Way More speed, I personally find speed extremely use full in war.
and parry ratio.

I always choose light for my int builds, simply because I love having speed built in. Makes the low levels go by faster when you cant afford speed pots. Even at higher levels, who wants to spend that much on a potion to run..
