Question: Spear or shield+sword (Int build)

[Nihuja]

What do you think guys wich weapon is better for full int and if its spear what mastery skills should i learn and vice versa with sword + shield?

Discuss.

Spear has more damage, but no shield for block and extra defense. Its more suited for PvE, rather then PvP. Spear Skills i suggest are:

Hueskal

Wolf Bite - Max
Soul Spear Series - Max

Darn, i forgot the other Spear skill... i have to log in and edit after i get back. Lol sorry, well then lets move on to S/S.

Sword/Shield, is best for PvP, for a Pure INT considering it had a shield, and block. You can also have the Annoying yet, Powerful KD, and Double stab at Lvl 68. S/S Skills i suggest are:

Bicheon

Knock Down - Max
Stab - Max
AoE - Optional (if have SP to get atleast 1, just to play around with it.)

if he goes with S/S isent it a good idea to get the passive in heuksal? couse than either way he will have both spear and S/S mastery.

No i meant Either go Spear or S/S, becuase you dont want to have 2 Weapon Masteries at high lvl. Because cap is raising, so you wont be able to get good Force skills higher mastery, and also same with Weapon skills.

If he picks Spear he should get Passive, i forgot to incude considering every1 knows to get them; its a must.

If your going full int spear is just mainly for pve and guildwars, you wont really be able to do anything 1v1 and even in guildwars you will get targeted so will die quick. Spear hybrid do well in guild wars and 1v1. If you choose spear max soul spear, ghost spear and passive... dont get wolf bite spear.

If you go s/s you should still get lvl 60 heuksal passive and maybe 1 point into ghost spear as you will probably use spear pve. In bicheon get KD(all books), stab, soul cut and passive.

Spear gives you:
35% Knockback
30% Stun (very good - opponent cannot use pots)
+1078 HP

Sword + Shield
50% Knockdown
+7% Block

Shield effect may be reduced due to opponent's alchemy, but the shield's block rate has not been well researched.

Personally, I'd use S/S.

i think i f*cked up cause i chose spear i love spear but everyone tells me sword is better n e ways heres what i did

i have 10 bicheon 30 spear mastery 30 fire mastery and 30 lightning (if u wanna nuke take must piercing added with a freakin fire nuke = rape)

um n e ways ive been told that sword and shield is better. now what if i got the lvl 10 bicheon passive and a like an sos shield for pvp and i just shoot nukes off everywhere and dont use spear moves cause by lvl 37 i will have 3 super strong nukes (the shout lightning moves lvl 2 book does about 1250 damage with imbue and so does the fire nuke and lightning nuke) so how would that work cause i really dont wanna start over im even sp farming at lvl 30 (but i got my nukes so i can one hit everything)
