Help with my build

Ok, as some of you know i recently started a new charater on Xian.

She is a hybrid s&s nuker.

Currently at level 26, i am planning on getting to level 32 and de-leveling my weapon skills so all i have is the KD and Stab moves, then i would just use Light and fire nukes and Lion shout as my attacks, along with the KD and Stab.

Should i do this? Also, as i will be de-leveling my sword skills maybe a switch to spear because as a hybrid i wont need the extra protection from a shield.

Thanks for any replies... Hints and tips also welcomed as i have never built an int before, though my build seems like a good idea.

hybrid s/s is a decent tank imo. not as much as a str char but as far as int chars go it can take some hits. might not kill as easy as spear but if youve got good gear youll do well in pvp.

I think you should better switch to spear. Your sword skills do little damage if you are hybrid. It goes like this (i'm not trying to play smart ass

) hybrid INT Spear has more STR then pure INT sword. The swords shield compensates. Full INT sword has more INT then hybrid INT spear. The spear's extra damage compensates.

So I guess you should switch to spear.

Hmmm, ready for this?

Delevel all skills except knockdown and stabs. (and passive)
Get spear too, SoulSpearSeries And Ghost Petal Max(and passive)
Dont bother with shouts i never found them that useful.

Btw dont get the 3rd book fire nuke its useless(well i find it a waste so i dropped it)

Ok, i have made my decision...

Im going to switch to spear at level 32 as i have been offered a level 32 som spear to use

Im going to de-lvl all my s&s skills accept the lvl 1 block increase skill.

I will then level my spear to about 20-30 then will use nukes as my main attacks.

Ok, here is my build so far :

Ice : lvl 8 (for the ice buff - extra defence)
Lightning : lvl 30 (got must peircing force lvl 3, grass walk lvl 5, SLS lvl 3 and no embue)
Fire : lvl 30 (Embue currently maxed for my lvl)
Blade : lvl 19 (going to de-lvl it to 0)

*Edit* I Think your build will be nice with spear, I'm sticking to S&S for now might switch later but as pure i need def of shield.

erm depends do you want all 3 forces and one weapon? or are you only look at light and fire?
if your hybrid try and get your blance to 90%

I got some new equipts and my magical balance is now 86%

I am concentrating mainly on Light and fire, but im planning on farming at 42 or 52 on a 9 gap, and i am only going to use one weapon, spear.
