my friend wants to know something, hes starting a s/s, and wants to know if its be smarter to start as spear, do the skills, and once he gets to 30, switch to s/s, and just dlvl spear, is that smart?

bow would be faster than spear
but before lv 30... they all lvl up pretty much about same

pure int bow?, wouldnt that be worse then say spear

pure int without nukes ^^ any weapon would be pretty equal lol

Bow till 30 and then switch to S/S or Spear when you get nukes.

how would that work when bow is best in str and nuker isnt str, so wouldnt it lvl slower as your putting your stats into int

thanks i actually understood that

At lvls 1~2x, the stats are similar, so you wont notice any char as being an int or a str. Having said that, int chars before lvl 30 rely on shout, and imbue damage using weapons before they get their nukes. Of the 3 weapon skills, heuksal will clearly deal more damage than other weapon trees (the phy damage range of the skill is more relevant at lower levels; the (%) next to the skill, use this as a guide, the higher the % the stronger your imbues will be). So you will see jumps in your damage output being a pure int pacheon (below lvl 30) whenever you get a new book with a higher (%) for the skill.

Yeah, I've done this with my current pure int, and bow was faster than I believed it to be originally @_@. With my exp. with pure ints (in this case only counting Lvl1~Lvl30) leveling within those levels went by the fastest while I used bow...I'd definately recommend using bow till 30.

Use bow till you're lvl 30 and it'll go by like nothing. You definately don't needa move a lot from mob to mob, which means faster grinding efficiency ^,^ (I kept a 2 gap from Lvl7~Lvl30, then 1 gap afterwards and switched to spear [going s/s later])

http://www.silkroadforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=47963 Use that guide....it works wonders for pure ints (got to lvl42 in just 2 weeks w/o silk or a premi).

lols i just went:

Bicheon = 20
added all skill books and LEFT it at lv 1 except for the shield BR passive.

then used it to lv 30 and used only nukes and saved the weak KD and stabs

If he will have good items, stick to spear till 64 or even more.

gear is the most important thing so its not a big differ between s/s & spear
