OK i have a lvl 33 nuker. I did the all int thing and have lighning and fire mastery at my lvl and fire 1 or 2 below that. Hueksal is lvl 16 or so. I remember reading in a nuker guide that sp farming wasnt ncessary for nukers and it was best to not keep a mastery gap so i can get maximum EXP. Now ive come accross several ppl telling me im screwed for not having SP farmed because ill be stuck later on. So my question is; is this true ? Do i need to spend the cash to make a gap now or am i fine ? Thnx for any help. If u need specific info on my skills and stuff lemme know.

Nuker Builds have to SP Farm mostly because of Knockdown and Stab Skills cause they take up alot of SP. Keep your Weapon/Fire/Lightning trees high as possible to do most damage . Rest you can put into Ice or Force. Also get aleast lvl 10 Bow Tree for lvl 1 Hawk Training for your nukes to hit peak damage more often.
I personally would go hybride. Pure Int until lvl 30 then 1:2 (Str:Int) until you cap. That way you have more hp than pures and still do roughly the same damage. Max all out your Fire/Lightning/Weapon Trees. Hope I didn't miss anything and correct me if anything is wrong. Hope that helps.

For lvl 90 cap
Weapon-----70
Fire-----------90
Lightning----70
Ice or Force-60
Bow----------10

You can increase Lightning if you want to do more AOE damge and decrease Ice or Force, but Fire Nuke will do the most damage.

Eventually, every build will have to farm to get all the necessary skills. You don't have to use money to get a gap. If you feel you need more SP now, just level without upping your mastery level and create a gap that way. You could just play with a gap, or reach a point at which you get some good gear and 9-gap SP farm. Up to you.

>_> @ 10bow/force/knock downs/god knows what more . He wasn't asking for what build to pick, there' guides for that btw.

Ontopic: erm yeah every build has to farm, but it is up to you when/how. For example: I'm farming @ lvl 52 so I have my 2nd fire nuke ;o

That is wrong,lvl 10 to use the hawk skill. That skill is only usable when using a bow,are you a bow nuker? I dont think so...its a waste of SP.
What you want is mind concentration Lvl 1,the passive in the bow tree.

he can just switch to a bow cast the hawk and switch back to the weapon

Yah your not really screwed. You keep your masteries at 33, and then get a nice 42 weapon and farm then.

Alright thnx for clearin that up. I can basically just start letting a gap grow now and farm at 42. Another question is that my main weap is a spear but that mastery is only about 16. Do I need to keep upping it ? Also from what I can gather if your a nuker knockdown from the bicheon tree is necessary. What other sword skills should I be investing in ?

No sword skills if you want to be a spear nuker. Pick one weapon mastery and stick to it.
