Has anyone done this before? Being a tri-elementalist, using only the three ice, lightning and fire trees.

Is the damage good?

going to be a nuker with fire and lightning, no ice

^^^DITTO^^^

i know a friend on Babel that's only lightning nuker. He stopped lvling at lvl 35 and spends his time PvPing noobs with the splash dmg. He quit recently cuz he started WoW. -.-

I guess I am sort of a tri-elemental nuker. I have fire and light 2-3 levels lower than my char to get the fire buffs, fire nukes, light buffs, and light nukes. My ice is only lvl 24 that way I can have the first book of ice protection to gimme some extra phy defense. When I get my lazy ass to farm some more SP (Please, I dont want toooooo!!) I will level up my ice nuke and consider the nukes depending on how much SP I can muster.

singles exist.

i might turn single myself. 2 fire nukes.

i've got 30 lightning, 26 fire, 12 cold (delvling) i'm going to sp farm, but don't know when, i'll get a 3 lvl gap so i have 30 lvl mastery and character lvl 33, but where should i farm.........someone said flowers, but i have no clue where those are

if you come from DH you go south to the oasis, they are just after the scorpions

this should help:

Recently a Korean build has been popularized. It's basicly only lightning and the level 19 sword knockdown. I'm assuming at 30+ the build starts using nukes. Although it isn't strong, it's very simple and quick to do since you don't need a level gap or SP farm.

Antione:
Wow you went from lv27 to 33 very quickly. Very nice leveling, congrats.

ty, i cant wait to get gold ticket lol.........

last night i got 100 % of lvl 30 in 99 minutes and 31 seconds
what do i kill right after earth taoists, (hyongchen?) i can 2 hit kill everything in ravine now i have lightning nuke. and do scorpions come directly before flowers as in lvl? or as in location on map?

i've got
24 fire
30 light
21 bicheon
24 heuskal

i'm going to work up to a 3 lvl gap (lvl 33) and just sp farm, will this work?
and skill wise i just want to max passives, and chains in bicheon, and in heuskal, ghost petal, passive and maybe tiger chain. in lightning i'm maxing everything and fire, i'm maxing fire protection, maybe fire shield phoenix (???), nukes (maybe like lvl 4 book 1)(maxing book 2 and 3 i think), and passive

HOW MUCH SP SHOULD I FARM AT LVL 33, and on what monsters?

Huh I wonder....what if a nuker lvled up his weapon skills, like sword or spear or both....til like lvl 20. While doing this he lvls say fire and light but continues them past lvl 20 like a nuker should. When he hits lvl 30 and gets his nukes....he massivily delevels his sword/spear/both trees to lvl 0 and adds cold as a third force up to lvl 30. Now he is has no weapon skills, but 3 different elemental nukes. Hmmmm. I wonder how effective this would be.

STEFAN:

You don't need weapon skills at all. I'm only adding into my imbue (pure int lv21 only had him for 2 days ) and just a NORMAL swing swipes for 290-390 with my imbue on chakji.

However I leveled heuksal but I only have points in the passive. So I suppose you could do the same but add into cold instead.

I'm hoping that today (my third day) I get to level 24


EDIT: I took some pictures for you.


Here's a picture with JUST imbue


I decided since I was grinding on lower monsters to see what ghost petal would do, so I added one into the skill (since I'm getting max heuksal anyways)




And while taking those screenies I ended up finding this 0.o 2nd SoS of the day, and 2 weapon elixirs

thats only used to hit lvl cap , after that thay all turn dual or try nuker
by sp farming at lvl 70 with 9 lvl mastery diff

Why is everyone talking about nukers?
Unless I'm missing something, nowhere in the original post do I see anything referrint to nukers, and yet everyone is posting about nukers.. and then everyone else is talking about their own crap

Well since he's not getting weapon skills and only elements I assumed he was making a nuker.

nah the korean sword build stays a single elemental nuker.. just with both lightning nukes.

at cap i would expect them to get: which really is not much SP farming at all.
51 bicheon
90 light
60 bow (just for the hawk)


but anyways back on subject..

the only problem i have with trinukers, is that they have not so much HP... even if you get the lvl 65 ice buff.. thats only PHYSICAL damage. i'd rater get the hp bonus from heuksal cuz they can be meatshield for either of the kinds of attacks

yeah sro kinda fantasy setting , elemenalist , kinda fantasy name for multy nuker

Anyone done such a build before?

How was it like?

Does the ice defense outweigh the hp+ from spear?

@dom: yes you could just use imbue. Yes you could still kill things. But how boring would it be to slash, slash, slash and slash some more? Might as well get some chains or some big attacks so then you wont be bored waitin to get your main weapon. Plus, if you get the knock down attack for sword, possible stun for spear when a dude gets too close just knock em down, give em a stab or stun em and nuke em some more. Those attacks are rarely used but still, they can save ya if need be.

I have no proof but logically...

the HP should outweight the DEF because it gives you more time to pot. With a nuker either way you WILL pot but with the spear passive it gives you a bigger safety net.

Even when using sword/shield, I still find the spear buff more beneficial then block because it only adds a couple percent chance, it's a gamble. Whereas the HP again works like a safety net and is reliable.


STEFAN:
Because I have the spear passive I added 1 point into each of the useful skills once I hit 21-22. At level 24 I was 2 hitting earth ghosts and demon horses. I suggest adding them but I was just trying to prove that getting to 20 is very possible without using weapon skills; answering the question that was asked.
