yo, i'am a level 30 pure INT fire/light nuker

i noticed fire damage in a straight line, while lighitng is like a chain... they both do the same damage... approximately. well level 1 anyway

the thing is, i use a spear... after i use a nuke, the monster has very little health left, if i hit with imbune that was used on my spear while i had the nuke.. i can kill it...

but that takes time... run up and hit...

if i use another nuke.. it takes even longer and more mana..

so, what i'ma asking is.. should i level up lion shout? do pro pure int nukers use lion shout?

any suggestions to what i should do?

thanks

btw, NUKER IS SO FUN

I use lion shout and keep the level up to date with my mastery. I'm getting the mastery for the nuke anyway, lion shout can only make my build stronger, although it means getting a little more SP. There are a lot of great things about this skill.

• Awesome UPPERCUT! animation.
• Multiple target for those mostly harmless but still irritating mobs on your trade route between Jangan and the ferry.
• Very little casting delay, leaving the enemy very little time to react and pot your nuke away before you hit him again.
• Cheaper and faster in many cases than using your imbue again.
• Did I mention how cool the UPPERCUT! is?

thanks..

as you mentioned.. lion shout is more effecient than imbune.. then should i keep getting high levels of imbune and lion shout?

Just wondering man, are you imbuing your spear before you nuke?
Cuz if you're not, it'll add the dmg that can let you 1- shot the mobs

getting the Flying Dragon spear move (the one where you throw your spear) can be another solution. that's how i finish off that annoying few HO left when i don't 1-shot a mob. don't know for sure what lvl you can get that at...

^ believe it's lvl 30, just like the nukes

PERFECT! Heuksal mastery lvl30, gogogogo!!!!

I thought spear chucker was lvl 31, meh.

oh maybe it is, just i remember something about all the "big" moves in each tree being lvl 30.

i could be wrong though.

i'm pretty sure they're all between 30-32

i'ma pure int .. i cant use that...

i think the flying spear move depends on your weapon's attack/magic dmg, not your str/int level

On the contrary, you can. If you imbue first, it will still have pretty good damage as compared to when a Pure Str dude chucks his spear.

dosnt it depend on both?
anyway..
lion shout series isnt that failry clsoe range?
( havnt used lighting that high at the moment )
but why nto jsut get the wolfs thunderbolt ?
isnt that a ranged AOE move?

Wolf's thunderbolt is what we mean when we say "nuke". As far as the range of lion shout, I have discovered that if you nuke something/someone and they are running away from you when you start your attack motion, you can usually add a lion shout directly after your nuke even if they would normally be way out of your range.

Pretty sure flying dragon requires 31 Heuksal mastery.
