Did you read this first? Also, there're more guides in the 'Characters Skills' section.

NEVER LEVEL YOUR SPEAR SKILLS PAST LEVEL 1!!!!!!

This couldn't be more important. Spear abilities like Wolf Bite, Dancing Demon, Ghost and Soul Spear, etc will only do increased damage for STR users. If you are a nuker, just get level 1 in the spear skills and no more. Also, the Bloody Fan or whatever it is is useless, dont even get level one in it.

This of course does not apply to the spear HP passive, which you should level to as high as possible.

If you are planning on a nuker, your should avoid Force. It's up to you, but nukers are about damage not spoony healing and such. But, since you have already put some skills into it, I would recommend that you go 90 Fire, 85 Lightning, at LEAST 60 in Spear, and whatever else you want into Force. Anything more would waste your mastery points.

Do read that guide by RaiKiRii, it is very well written. I got most of my information from his guide! I am planning on being a 90/85/65/60 Fire/Light/Cold/Spear nuker when I grow up. =)

solidsnake thatnks for your answer I wasabout to post a question on this, cause I am starting over and I wanted to know in advance the skills for a soon to be nuker.

umm but I got a question. you said don't level your spear past 1 then you said use 60 sp on spear. If not sp what did you mean to at least 60 of on the spear.

Your mastery level in Spear should be level 60. Each individual skill in the Heuksal tree has it's own level. For example, Wolf Bite spear can be leveled up to do more damage when you reach a higher mastery level, but I advise against it for an INT user.

MASTERY level is different than an INDIVIDUAL SKILL level.

It's actually a good idea to get soul spear to use until you hit level 30. It won't use many SP and does nice damage with imbue. Its also a great finishing move if you just used a nuke and lion shout and didnt kill the mob.

srry i think i was a little unclear. i have fire imbue lvl 3 and no 'force' skills and wolf spear lvl 3. i see now that i only want lvl 1 spear skills, as they are meant for str chars. so what skills should i be aiming for with the int character? ive read alot of guides, but havent really found any clear answers. also im not sure how many SP to get before i can start lvling my base lvl (closing the gap) im still very confused if i have fire mastery 9 and spear 7 my gap is counted from the highest one? since i only want to make one main character i really dont want to mess her up

when u say lvl 1, do you mean like 1st book?

also does that apply to sword skills, too?
