what is the best build for nuking?

Pure Int. Weapon choice doesn't matter, nor does armour type as far as I'm aware. One skill that is essential for a Nuker is the Must-Pierce series, a Lightning force skill, which boosts magic damage.

best nuker is a duel nuker with spear, armor for pvp, garmet for level.

fire imbune, fire nuke 2nd and 4rd maxed, lighting nuke maxed.

the lighitng imbune is a mistake if you go nuker. you will draw mobs too close to you and will end up dieing too much. fire nuke is not aoe, and does more damage.

i will try INT ICE BOW NUKER

Pure int.
Must piercing; imbue then cast nuke....the results r jawdropping.

Fire's passives support a STR character (Phys damage increase and whatnot)
so I avoided this and took ICE as my secondary force mastery. It's passives
increase physical defense which would be good for an INT character.

As for the lightning embue...use with caution! It seems to me that the lightning
imbue will do the most magic damage of the 3 elemental forces (from what the
stats of the skills say anyway).

Also, your magic damage from a spell that is purely a magical attack (such as
a nuke) is determined by the weapon you have equiped. As far as I know at
this point, spear is the way to go for max magic damage. Correct me if Im
wrong. Im still in the noobish stage myself.

Thing im wondering though is that, with fire and light masterys with spear, wont you be swatted down like a fly by most. I mean most good str glaive chars at lvl 20 can do 500 dmg with one of their specials, and with no defense against this, you are gonna go down fast as int. Wont most ice moves help? or is the difference given by ice defense moves so trivial it still wont stop you being crushed in 2 hits?

The idea is to kill them before they kill you

So just dont let them get near you and you'll be fine

i just started a nuker spear build... i have to dich my lv 23 ice hybrid archer..

anyone have suggestions for a fast leveling up?

imbue just to clear up confusion

So i guess if an int doesnt get first move, its kinda screwed.

it would be kinda hard not to get the first move since nukes are ranged skills.

There are ranged skills for every weapon and element, and very often when trading or warring someone will come at you from behind.

hm.. have fire's 2nd and 3rd nuke max and lughitng nukes all maxed out?

what about fire first one? level up it to help me kill mobs? or leave it at level 1?

What does a "Nuke" refer to? I presume it's a fire skill, but I don't think I've seen it.

"Nuke" is a generic term in computering meaning something that is sent at a high rate and is highly damaging, or at least boring. In this game it's seems that this designate all the skills that can be used for pvping, and a "nuker" is a full int character pvp-oriented.

Hey BiggieTymers,

How many sp's should be farmed for a build like this?

Thanks,
Allan

So...it's perfectly okay to use both fire and lightning nukes?

yup fire and lightening both will be fine
im personaly aiming for the lighting and ice.. just have this thing for ice aoe moves on other games..

<<EDIT: flame removed --SG>> sword shield is better... bow int i have a feeling if there is one it will be hella strong...

spear will have quite abit of life more against sword shield... but as ur lvl grows that extra life wun help shyt... its better to totally block out a life threatening blow rather than swallowing it whole...

nuker vs nuker a sword shield will own the spear hands down without the slightest doubt...

i hope this is not considered double posting... u wun find many lightning ice nukers... ice nuke is generally weak... only hoping to freeze people... lightning nukes aren't as powerful as fire nukes... with ice nuke ur primary role in mass pvp is supportive nuker... u freeze enemies and the glaive take them out...
depends what role u wanna play... lightning is a definate must... coz u could die in 1 hit =.= int is low life as u know...
if u like to be a damage dealer.. go for fire... in china SRO... lvl 69 new skill does 7k... thats INSANE !
2 of those and even pure str are gonners...
not sure about recharge time and casting time of the skill but yeh... fire is the most commonly used damage dealer nuker =) go for it

I'm going with pure INT, spear and ALL force masteries.

Fire: for damage, of course.
Lightning: for the Lightning nuke, but also for Grass Walk
Ice: for freezing, but mainly for the Frost Guard (or whatever it's called, I don't have the game running so I can't check) so I can take a few punches
Force: because I like to resurrect and heal people, use Harmony Therapy and things like that
Spear: because it's the weapon of choice for an INT-based character. Very nice magical damage, and if you're pure INT the passive (extra HP) is nice, because let me tell you, every single little bit of HP really, really helps.

I'm currently at lvl 18 with a four level difference, so levelling is going a little slow right now, but I'm gonna let the difference get to six levels, I think, because I'm gonna need a LOT of SP, even though I'm only picking a few skills from each tree.

^ actaully for that many skill trees... i would go 9 diff level until you hit like.. 20k o.O

OK I'm a fire/lightning nuker...lightning is pretty linear, book 2 relies on max book 1....but since there are 3 fire nuke books which only require 1 point in the previous book, should I just put one point into book 1 until I'm high enough for books 2 and 3? I assume 3 will be maxed, but which of the first 2 books should I max out before? I may have trouble until 43 (when book 2 starts) unless I keep the first book up-to-date.

I currently have a hybrid spear fire/light nuker. He is level 32 and had a lack of sp. So, if you are going to start a nuker PLEASE FARM SP. Unless you leave a 5-6 level gap with masteries you will be in very big trouble. I restarted my character for two reaons, not enough sp and not pure. So what ever you do you should not put in those few points into STR. Those 75 hp points arnt gonig to save you from being own, but they will take away from your damage when you get to higher levels. This is just my thought.

i am running out of sp too, but i have a 5 lvl diff now and plan to sp farm till i raised all my buffs to 35 or so.

I recommend the lion shout series, its da BOMB!!!
