ive been sp farming and havent used any character point or skill points ANYTHING and i dont know what weapon to use for best nuker im using armor but i dont know what weapon and after that i dont know what force and skills to max so please tell me

most nukers use either a spear or sword. the upside to spear is that you'll do more damage. the upside to sword is that you'll have a shield to help keep you alive.

ok heres where i screwed up with my nuker..
you dont need any weapon skills ok ?
and if u get any.. probly get spear.. but you realy dont need them
jsut purchuse a good spear or sword and sheild and wield them, and nuke away xD

but lower levels it will take a while to level without weapon skills, but u will have a hell fo a strogn common attack wit himbue.

no weaps ftw!

I took both spear and sword masteries to lvl 25 and maxed just about, but not all, skills in those masteries. Honestly though, Im sitting in the upper 30s and have forgotten about both weapons really and just nuke anything in sight. I would say though that 85% of the time I wield sword and shiled for the block capability, and the fact that I am facing monsters my lvl or higher. Spear is always a nice option though, if I get bored or am facing 'green' or lower mobs.

i am a nuker spear and sword, b4 hitting 30, I focus on sword with imbue, and the knockdown/stab move. Once u hit 30 and get nukes, I would suggest stick to sword as the spear makes u vulnerable to hits from lack of blocking and low life as a full int. I started using spears for fun at 42 cause i like the spear and the dmg is atleast 400+ then the sword.

When fighting giants though i still pop back my shield and sword because they hit hard, and in laggy situations I also revert back to sword. When fighting green, white, and sometimes orange mobs I would use spear if I am sure i can 1-2 hit them b4 they can get near me or land 1-2 hits.

^ Do you still use the knockdown/stab move?

I currently have a level 32 nuker, and here is where I went wrong. I went hybrid. I would say if you want to nuke for a lot then stay INT pure. No matter how much you want that health. Also, do not get any weapon skills, spear does enough damage with the imbue to keep you going. Also, I say you should get spear rather than shield. You can think about it two ways: a. shield can block and keep you alive or b. just another weapon to worry about buying.

the downside to no weapon skills is in PvP. all u do is nuke nuke nuke. dont be a one-trick pony. what happens in PvP someone freezes u when yur about to use a nuke? it also takes a time to recharge the nukes

ok these are all great and thankful answers but im still not certain wich one i want to use.........so spear does more damage but shield blocks hmmmmmmmmmm and i dont know what force's to max and what inside those forces to max either

i one trick ponies

Nukers are suppose to... nuke! If you want to melee, play a STR char or hybrid. And you should have more than 1 nuke anyways.

no, once i got my nukes, i say byebye to my kncokdown and stab. I would advise you to do tis if ur nuker:

fighting normal monsters = spear
fighting giants or champion = sword/shield

because a giant can easily crit u for 1k dmg, and it hurts even mroe if they have combo attkls like the black robber, with the shield u have a chance to block, take lower dmg, and give time for ur autopot to kick in. The shield I have saved me many times where if i was using a spear I was a goner and 2% down the drain. If ur a nuker, carry both weapons!!! The investment is worth it. Remember, critical means nothing for a nuker, buy low crit +3 swords and spears if they r cheap, only worry about a high block shield.

Hell, I got my 42, 45, and 48+3 spears for 1 mil to 1.6mil
and my 48+3 sword and shield with 16br for 1.2 and 1.3mil

i might still keep my chain attacks.. full int swordsmen ftw

That is what a nuker does, he nukes. That is why he/she has such low hp. He has to kill the opponent in 1-2 hits. If not he will get ROLLED by a pure STR glavie or blade.

Get weapon passives.

Erm that's it.

My friend hyori has like 4.5k life at lvl 67 I believe and has spear 60 I would assume ( cause ints with 4.5k life O.o ) But he uses a shield. So he probably has shield passive level 3-4 eh? O.o

Dunno exactly.

He's ice / lit nuker.

Being an ice/lit or fire/lit is your choice. Or lit until you hit level cap and sp farm and pick one.
