This is a guide to a pure phys glaive build that mainly uses the ice force. i(omfghax/m3atwad) have developed this build after playing 5 different characters. i'd like to point out that if you don't plan on joining a guild or doing much pvp, then don't bother reading this guide.
Focus: to neutralize your enemy using a slew of skills that inflict effects onto your opponents, making them useless in combat while an ally takes them out.
Stats: put every point into phys. the extra hp along with the glaive passive gives you an assload of hp, and helps you tank out damage (this plays into the focus)
Skills: heuksal mastery- max this out. i've never farmed on a single char, and never plan to. i run only 2 trees on my char, so quests and grinding gives me all the sp i'll ever need.
DO NOT take any of the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd books in heuksal. they suck!
Max out the Soul Departs series, chain spear attack series, and cheolsam force series. it's also very recommended to take at least one point into ghost spear and flying dragon.
ice mastery- i didn't really keep cold up to my level, just brought it up when i was about to get a new skill. i suggest keeping your cold skills at low levels, since they take a bit of mp (which you dont have much of).
definatly take cold force series (the imbue), cold wave attack series, frost nova series, and cold armor series (passive), and take the buff if you really think you need it
lightning - just level it up enough for lvl1 grasswalk. it's pretty useful.
@level 32, i recommend taking fire mastery. then you can get lv3 passive and flame body power, for a +8% phys damage increase. other than that, ignore all other masteries unless you plan on farming (things like teleport or revive or w/e)
Combat: as stated in the focus, you really want to center on your stun/freeze skills. my attack sequence went as follows: cold wave arrest -> frost nova -> chain spear + ice imbue -> soul spear. depending on your ice skill levels, this can give your opponent between 200 and 400 points of frostbite, and potentially around 150 points of freeze, not to mention 3 seconds of stun. trust me when i say your opponent will be about to cry. don't forget that you CANT use pills on stun.
once you have your enemy useless, its up to some teamwork to kill them. i almost always had a pure int archer with me (my friend from school) so he would nuke out some serious damage, while i would tank damage from the enemy and stun/freeze/frostbite them out the ass. i'm aware that some people might say: "o, well double team in pvp is lame" to you i say stfu. but, this build can still be used effectively on your own. use the same attack pattern to slow your enemy down, then pump out damage with repetetive use from ghost spear soul spear and chain spear. ghost and chain attack rather quickly, and soul does a LOT of damage if you get a critical.
when you really get this build going, people will definatly be worried about going pvp with you. no one wants to spend 500 pills on one person =P
i found this build to be especially effective in guild wars, because combining frost nova wind and the ice imbue + ghost spear, you can get some good AoE cold attacks going on.
i hope this build helps you out, and remember, you don't have to go fire for a glaive to be good!
