Trying to decide...

Post by Fyre »

So i'm trying to decide on a build, but with so many mixed opinions, it's tough. Pure INT users say they are the best, Pure STR users say they are the best, Hybrids say they are unbeatable. Every person says they can beat the other, but I know also it depends much on your own gear.

Situation:

All builds are equally farmed/geared/skilled, basis is simply on strengths/weaknesses of each build. So, based on your own personal experience, which of these build will have the advantage.

Popular builds are...

Pure STR Glaivers
Pure STR Bladers
2:1 INT Hybrid Spear Users
2:1 INT Hybrid S/S Users
Pure INT Spear Nuker
Pure INT S/S Nuker

Which builds are strongest at 1-50, 50-80, and then in the future when new skills are released? Decide entirely on PvP, as of course, we all know what is strongest/weakest in PvE. ^_^

Also when SRO was first released, everyone said to make only pures. But now many people are talking about how hybrids are so strong and I am also curious as to why. STR Glaivers were very popular even on KRO because of their high HP pools and highest damage for STR based types.

But many people mention these 2:1 INT hybrid(spear seems popular, but maybe s/s is good?) builds, and it does seem to make sense. Higher HP to compensate so you do not get one hit killed by STR users, but also heavy INT so you can do more damage then a STR user. It seems like it would work, but I remember before many people saying they are very weak because, they do not have advantages that the pure builds do, making them useless?

Opinions.

Pure str bladers were the best for a long time, but in the skill update, they seem to be doing minimal damage.

I'd say that int hybrid s/s or spear is best for 90 cap with only light/cold/weapon.
I'd add from 18-40 str (I added 40 :D).
I suggest an int build, because they grind fast and in the new skill update they're gonna be the ownage.

u can do ur own build to be cool :)

bladders might have a return w/ the quad stab, glaives have nothing new, bows get KB which could make them good, nukers get the H-bomb but thats planning ahead isnt it?

build what u want but STICK TO IT! dont be a nub that looks at another build in jealousy cause their a lil stronger than u at lvl 30 or 40, builds dont shine till 2nd or 3rd book
