Hello!

I recently started a new char and Im gonna try pure INT S/S build. Ive had a hard time finding out what skills to add for the sword.

Strike n' smash books - NO
Illusion chain books - YES
Castle shield books - YES
Soul cut blade books - NO
Blood blade force books - YES
Flower bloom blade books - YES
Snake sword dance books - NO
Shield protection books - YES

Is this correct? I know what nukes to add, but not what to add for the sword - since this is my first sword char... thanks

Actually, chains can be good in PvE for dealing quick, successive damage to mobs. So you might want to think about those, although you will probably be nuking for the most part. Also, the Blade Force series is a fast, low MP cost skill that, when imbued, can do decent damage -- perhaps as a finisher. You could add only the first book or so if you wanted. It is more effective for hybrid ints. Other than that, it looks good.

Ok, so Ill add the chain books and my setup is good?

Strike n' smash books - NO
Illusion chain books - NO
Castle shield books - NO
Soul cut blade books - NO
Blood blade force books - YES
Flower bloom blade books - YES
Snake sword dance books - YES
Shield protection books - YES

this is what i think, u would use nukes the most, get the fire nukes and the lightning nukes.

get all of them even if some seem useless, i cant imagine grinding to lvl 80 and having only nukes kd and stab to play with.

Strike n' smash books - NO
Illusion chain books - NO
Castle shield books - NO
Soul cut blade books - NO
Blood blade force books - YES
Flower bloom blade books - YES
Snake sword dance books - YES
Shield protection books - YES

y castle shield no? in PvP castle can prove to b the winning pt for tt 15 sec phy def increase , which pure int is already weak in( and considering he doesnt hv cold tree for phy def )

i would say the MUST bicheon skills are castle shield, KD, stab, passive..soul blade or chain is realli up to u..it can b useful but not necessary for nukers and their phy dmg isnt tt great

get all of them even if some seem useless

a pure int already need to farm a Hell lot of SP for the nukes and force tree...if u wanna add to the burden and spend 2/3 months of extra farming just to up something not useful...u will cry

just an opinion

What I do ( and I'm happy with it ).

Put 1 point at least in Chains and Smash. Why ? Because untill lvl 30 you need phys skills to kill faster because you're int, so little HP is your doom. With illusion or chains and a good lvl imbue you're deadly.

Castle is a no reply question. GOT IT. When you're hitting a mob and a Champion or Giant spawned right besides you, castle shield will keep you alive. And 15 seconds it's a lot of time if you know what to do.

Soul cut. Got lvl 1. It's a weak attack, but when you reach lvl 30 and got nukes, you'll see a weak attack + fire or light imbue lvl 30 do a great damage, for 1x1 PVE I use fire imbie+fire nuke+soul cut. If more then 1 mob is attacking me, just use fire imbue + light nuke + lion shout. Hehehehe, 3 mobs down !

Blood and flower is without question like castle shield. A MUST. What can't touch you can't hurt you, KD and stab is a wonderfull move ( but if it fails you have chains and smash to finish the mob untill the kd cooldown finish).

Snake sword is like a lion shout for STR builds, so put 1 point in it ( like soul cut 1 and together with fire imbue you'll have a good move.

Shield is a must, another great protection for int build, a good BR shield ( 17 or 18 at least ) with the shield passive can save your life several times.

Strike n' smash books - NO ( 1 lvl at the begining then lvl down)
Illusion chain books - YES ( But later in the game )
Castle shield books - YES ( MUST )
Soul cut blade books - NO ( Save The SP man )
Blood blade force books - YES ( MUST )
Flower bloom blade books - YES ( MUST )
Snake sword dance books - NO
Shield protection books - YES ( MUSTx10 )

your totaly right streetrobban - i just made some clarification - and thats what i'm building now
and juntakashi too (how r u )

Ok thanks for all the answers guys. Ill keep working on my char. It really sux to get to lvl 30

Level the snake dance, and the petal dance also. They are fully worth their SP>>> check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIkZOEIBcNs Perhaps it will make you reconsider the idea:

so,
smashing series: NO
chain sword: OPTIONAL
castle shield: MUST
Blade force: OPTIONAL
KD: MUST
Stab: MUST
Snake dance: MUST
Passive: hella MUST.

+1

Get all 3 blade forces if you have the sp. They're fun to play around with.

It's called lightning nuke?

its called cooldown

and 2nd sword dance book works differently+has longer range

i think that the most strong skills

Castle shield books - YES(it will use in pvp and emergancy cases)
Soul cut blade books - YES(it will use as you can attak the monest from far distance)
Blood blade force books - YES (very strong)
Flower bloom blade books - YES (very strong)
Snake sword dance books - YES ( it's semullation)
Shield protection books - YES (very strong)
