Sword/Shield ftw!

Spear levels very very fast but...you die a lot, your defence is barely better then a Wizard's and you won't be able to kill many uniques unless you're 20 levels higher.

its true that i'm no good at pointing out + and - of weapons in SRO but i had a lot of fun on my Sword/Shield nuker, i still levelled faster then a pure STR, died VERY rarely, killed lots of uniques and in PvP only full SoSUN botters could beat me(and i was only lv 73).

Add 1-10 levels with str.

I got this but you SUCK at high lvl 64+ You should either go full int or stay Hybrid. You should go and ask here or ask a mod to replace your topic.

and why do you think that? people who say things like "__owns__" never say why, most likely you said that only because you're a spearman yourself?

Well the thinking about that "build" is simple you got more HP than a normal INT'er. But you still got some good mag bal. So you "pwn" the Spear/Glavie/ enc.

A shame its not working at high lvls. :)

only if they stun me or some other bad status like this, my shield had 100% blocking ratio and i had a lv 72+9 sword :)

LOL I dont think ANYTHING can tank worse than a wizard... Just cause a build doesnt have a shield doesnt mean it cant tank.

Don't get "worse defense" and "pot delay" mixed up.

If you dont have lots of suns parts you will die really really fast against any farmed lvl80 char or, as TerenceHills point out, the lvl80 is completly stupid. On this game gear is 80% of the fight and a lvl 73 has just 2 parts of last tier.

generally if you are int based char take (buy) both, the only question is what mastery to level up

bicheon when pure
heuksal when hybrid

but even if you are hybrid you will find s/s very useful (even with no skills)
