STR+ Ice/Glavie

Black_Krowser · Post by **Black_Krowser** » Mon Aug 21, 2006 11:07 pm

Already know the word on using ice w/ glavie n the word on ice not being good in the long run. But even so I've decided to stick w/ ice n make the most out of it w/ glavie. Main skill will be heuskal n i recall someone saying that its best keeping the ice skills low since they can get real costly n wat matters is their effect. So here's my stats so far:

This is my lvl so far:
Lv 21

Heuskal Mastery: 20
Soul Spear- lvl3
Ghost Spear- lvl1
Cheolsam- lvl2

Cold Mastery: 20
Ice River Force- lvl7
Cold Wave Arrest- lvl2
Cold Armor- lvl2

Lighting Mastery: 12
Grasswalk- lvl1

Force Mastery: 17
Heal Medical Hand- lvl2
Soul Rebirth Art- lvl1

I have about 200 sp left but not wante dto be sure what direction to go since i don't wanna screw up my ice skills. I intend to add some fire skills later on such as the passives n a few buffs, as for lighting i was planning to stick w/ grasswalk but not sure up to wat book...should i invest on a few other skills from that tree?

well let me know as soon as you can, n hope u can help me out...thx!

Now as for all you ice users...any suggestions as to how far should i lvl these skills up?

--cold force series, cold wave attack, frost nova, and cold armor--

also...should i bother w/ "Weak Ice Guard"?

I think ice on a Glaive isn't a really good idea, but it's your choice.

Mostly ice users will have a blade or sword, since it does more hits, meaning more chance to freeze your opponent.
A glaive however doesnt hit quick, people will have the time to cure and attack.

Also as a str. Glaiver you might want to do as much damage as you can, so most people pick fire. You might have a chance to freeze, but it leaves you with lower damage.

But it's all up to you ^^ Finally someone making his own built. It would be nice if it would work though.

thats becouse ice glaivers suposed to use stun and chains and spins , not just stun and spins

really? arent chains low dmg? i used chains, SS and ghost but doesnt work, chains uselss unless crit alot and also with ice maybe freeze but makes even lower dmg. Pppl use SS and ghst only becasue of stuna dn knock to give dem time to pot and also they give lots of dmg in a short amount of time. Cat i rmbr u saying SS sux.

I think chain is good against mosnters but not against players.

And as for the threadstarter, i have only 1 comment for you. Your SP is too low...seriously you can't catch up in the next few levels with that kind of SP and mstering 3 skills at once.

Actually I don't intend to master 3 skills at once...the force skills are staying jus the way they are...perhaps l8er on i may lvl it jus to get ress at lvl2 but that's it. And yeah it wasn't around 200 its actually more around 400s so sry about that.

I intend to master Heuskal as my main one, ice would come 2nd but like I said since this is an STR build, lvling my ice skills too high wouldn't do me too much good for it would be mp costly and what matters mainly is the effect right?

As for the Fire skills, I'm only focusing on taking the passive to like lvl3 n maybe getting that flame body power...but I wasn't planning on getting this til maybe my mid 30's.

Lighting I don't know if its recommended to take anything from this build for my Ice/Glavie so I simlpy kept grasswalk at lvl 1.

I'm also considering to SP Farm for a bit since I may need it to keep up so perhaps you do have a point w/ the SP. That's why I asking how far should I lvl up my ice skills and if there's any other recommended skills from the other trees that would benefit my character's build.
