Im making a pure int spear nuker. i know your going to tell me to go hybrid but i want a pure int spear. so just wanting to know, what imbue should i get that would help me at higher levels. Light imbue or ice.
Discuss and add opinions. Would damage be the same, similar, a little lower or alot lower.

Up to you, but I perfer Lightning Imbue, since it does higher damage, and you have no benefit from Ice (atleast in PvP), since 80% of guys are immunue to Ice ...

On lower lvls ice is funnier to use, as almost nobody is immune.
Once u hit 64+, 50% or more is gonna be immune.
80+, well 90% of the players is immune... (even the ones with fire 30).

And the difference in damage is also big.

I say: take lightning

why are they discussing about pvp ice imbue,,

you will suck IF you dont have BOTH the masterys

ice for phy deff,,
light for mag att,, walk speed, parry

you dont need the hp passive of spear,, deff of spear nuker is low, that extra 100 hp for mobs are hitting you 500 is useless,, ull die anyway if they crit you,,



it would say, make a s/s nuker,, they can go full int,, and spear needs some str 2,, otherwise you can only grind at no agro mobs xD (low deff) (well thats not complete true,, but S/S is much much much much much much much better as spear,, and you can take the fire shield buff what makes you immune :P)


build i would recommend

30 bicheon, 90 fire, 90 cold, 90 light

u dont need the KD, and the castle shield of lvl 30 is strong enough,, my lvl 54 nuker takes 50% lower hits with castle shield on :P skill is only lvl 30

The guy only wanted to know which imbue he had to take: Lightning or Ice.
So that means he will take those masteries...

Read his post...

i think ice has been well over looked for an imbue i mean to have 100% immune you need that shield skill from fire and almost no nuker use fire enymore there all light/ice and euros dont have full immuneity do they?

plus dont euros have 15 sec delay im not completly sure if that applys to pills but 1v1 ther probly not gonna be immune and if you s/s int build then you will still get good dmge plus sword is fast hitting so in close combat you will freeze them often.

i would do ice/light ice for imbue and light for nukes oviusly or if you got the sp why not have both have light seprate just for pvp.

The 15 secs delay is only for HP/MP pots, not pills... (neither grains)

at 90caps, many chinese with gold and patience to spare can be cold effects immune with 30fire. at 100caps, it becomes a tough decision for those not using fire as main.
