I'm trying something different, but is different bad?

For example, I'm currently working on -

A Lightning sword\shielder, 2Int:1Str Hybrid, for reasons I shall state in a moment.

-) I get the best of HP, and MP, causing less to be spent on pots.
-) I get to use the best of lightning, because of the MP advantage.
-) I may not be able to tank, but this build is proving amazing for PvE
-) So far, PvP has been generally good, but I can only cape PvP so we'll see how that goes once I start trading....

-) Got mucho bored of SP Farming, and brought my masteries up to 14 (Bicheon\Lightning) To match my actual level, plan to do sommore SP farming at 20... Currently sitting on 250sp.

So, what do you guys think?

only thing i'd say is.... why are you using a blade if you're a 2:1 int build? to get the most out of your magical attack, a sword may be in order.

And if it's amazing for PVE you should use spear.

V.v

I've already spent SP on getting my Bicheon up, f**k spears.

And I meant sword people, I'm using a SWORD.

^_^;; I am so far =p.

Also found out that I should have been using spear this whole time. v.v

Because I can't max on the power, So why the hell am I using sword\shield, especially if I can't tank?

And blocks don't happen often enough, Maybe I'll have to do that curst heart thing..

well, spear IS good for the extra power, and you can get a nice HP boost, especially at later levels.

but i use a shield, so i can't personally recommend going spear, lol. what blocking ratio does your shield have? the higher ones cost a bit, but they work a WHOLE lot better at keeping you alive.

I've decided not to go shield, and ATM my blocking ratio is 10 lol.

I'm quite poor, as I can't do any trade runs yet *Hopes to rememdy that tommorow\today*

Yeah, this build seems pretty good. I would say since your a 2:1 hybrid the sword/shield will probably work out very well. Tell us how this turns out when you get to a higher level sounds interesting.
