Ok I just started a new char (Pure Str Blader) and as my name suggests i'm planning to be a hunter. Currently at lvl. 14 sp farming. Anyways, is the Force skill very useful as a hunter? If so please tell me how to modify my skills.

PLANNED SKILLS
Bicheon 80
Fire 80 (For Strength)
Ice 70 (Freezing/Annoying)
Lightning 70 (Speed, Must Piercing Force)

Any Help Appreciated

... that's way too many mastery! You'll never be able to get enough skill points.

As a blader, you'll need many skills in bicheon tree, you can't afford to level up 4 masteries.

Don't get ice, only fire/bicheon (and a little lightning if you can). The cold freezing effect is now annihilated by cold-resistant jewelry effect.

Whereas force, it's really not necessary unless you plan to be a kind, helpful character (mainly for the ressing skill).

Those skills are good to have :

Bicheon skills :
- passive skill (shield protection)
For PvP :
- blood blade serie (knockdown skill)
- flower bloom serie
For PvE
- Illusion chain serie
other bicheon skills are optional...

Fire skills :
- passive skill (flame devil's force)
- fire force serie
- flame body serie
- fire shield serie (optional - resistance against 'status effects')
- fire protection serie (optional - resistance against magical attacks)
other fire skills are crap (for a str blader)

In the lightning tree, you should level grass-walk and ghost phantom walk (optional but still useful for PvP and faster leveling)

As you see, it makes a shitload of skills, so don't waste your skill points in unuseful skills.

... and overall don't start hunting before you reach level 4X-5X, otherwise you'll have your ass kicked maaany times :wink:

He said he was farming, so anything is possible.

Anyway's, force could be usefull for the Rezzing skill, but that's your own choice. I wouldn't take it, waste of SP.

Sure! Everything is always possible, including earning 97 704 sp only to max 4 masteries (ONLY masteries, you may need some skills too...). :P

Hunter is going to have a hard time farming, hope he has a credit card!

But Priam you're right, this is his choice to do it or not...
