just a random question for those 80 cap (or possibly 90 cap; ksro?) players. say i wanna go pure int. will i be able to kill things with a sword? because from what i've seen, sword users seem to not kill pure str glavs/bladers very easy unless they have super pimped/sosun gear. and personally...i see myself as a +5 kinda guy more than a +7 or sosun guy.
also a spear user could deal huge hits wth the nuke and soul-spear and then quick finishing dmg with lion shouts and ghost-spears. sword however only has KD and stabs. however i do acknowledge how much better their survival rate is since they have the castle shield and block from shield.

so i was just wondering if pure int swords deal enough dmg to kill a pure str glav or blader with good gears.

so pure Sword or pure Spear

neither will help u kill a str unless u have pimped gear, str will one hit u either way, s/s is safer

It's very hard to kill Glaviers with a sword, unless you got a 80% +7 sword which is like an avg +4 spear. But even then you will need to score atleast 2 or 3 knockdowns in a row to stack dmg, and try not to use nukes during the fight really you will be better off with just knock downs and stabs..nukes best at beginning or if you think his about dead and wanna finish with some flare.

Well, 80 cap really makes Int Spears useless, unless you have a sun spear if you don't then you will get owned alot. For 1 x-large potions, so people pots are healing them more, Bladers and Int S/S(LEET) you will never kill them, and glaivers have "Bloody Snake" and they will use it, this will put you at a disadvantage cuting your dmg in half as they spam, Soul Spears and Mars until your Stun,Crit,Dead...maybe the only people int spears can own will be Bows and other Int Spears, and any Hybrids.

So, if I had to pick one, I would get sword and sheild atleast you can defend more and have a chance of killing, not get totally overpowerd like spear does.

hahaha int spears owning bows?

they die in a hit if crit, if no crit 2 maybe 3 max depenind on how bad your bow is.

int s/s with castle shield is an insane build.

int spear has no defense against any str build, but they own the s/s int's.

s/s int's on the other hand have a better chance against str's cuz of castle shield,blocks, and knock down with triple stabs.

come 90 cap ice light s/s int's will be insane with castle shield and mana shield.

LOL, I hope your talking about a sun bow+7 if not then I'm not even gonna waste keystokes on bows 2 or 3 hitting people without crits.

well im at level 68 right now and going for the build

bicheon/heuskal/fire/light

i can use s/s and a spear, for max damage and also a good defense, also the 1k hp increase helps.


and it depends on who you fight, i can take down a bow user in garm level like 64-69, i can kill a blader level 64-69 garm, glavies i can kill SOMETIMES, i have a hard time with them.

it all depends on if ur good with ur char and ur gear, you cant just keep hitting GSM SST and SSS the whole fight.

to shadow: i didn't say i wasn't gonna have pimped gears. i just said that swords seem to need insanely pimped >>weapons<< (notice what embodiment said about a sword needing 80% +7. thats what i meant.)

to embodi: maybe ur rite but when i read what u say, it makes me feel like playing an int is pretty much hopeless as far as killing people.



Overall: i guess im just thinking to the 90 cap with new skills. with the new mana shield and the new moves, something tells me that spears are gonna become the new swords as far as which int is better. but who knows, im just gonna go back to the way i started this game and make whatever fxcking build i want!!!

thanks for the input tho.
