Take the build that I bolded. Without ice, it would be hard to tank giants and parties by yourself without snowshield. Hope this helped.

You sure need cold no doubt about that, but u can choose not to pick a weapon tree but take fire cold and ice (all 90).
i choosed to do this but in later lvls u understand that it kinda sucks... and 2nd its boring, only to nuke all grinding long.
so get 90 cold, 90 light and 90 wep (bich or heuk)

they are more of a support fire build, get a blader or a warrior to harass a group of enemies while you nuke at them, they aren't meant for 1vs1 they are better for group fights, and as a hunters

i tell you a trade party with out a nuker for a hunter would blow, the trader would take so much more dmg from spawns cause the strs can't blast groups npc theives away

I know, this really isn't necessary, or even constructive, but...

You can have cold AND ice? :shock:

btw, cold/light/bicheon wins.

mmm if the hunter is an archer he/she can kill quickly.... just practice :) thatz in full str
we now that full int are good for kill a big group of thieves npc . . .

Get two nuker hunters or two bow hunters, that way you kill thieves very easily.

Although Im all for this build:

./viewtopic.php?f=5&t=89333

You said you don't plan on PvPing much so a full force nuker would befenit you, meaning:

Fire 90
Light 90
Cold 90
Force 30, Husk 30, Pacheon 30, or Bicheon 30

You can also take 90 fire, ice, wep, if you dont like light or want to be a little more unique.

Yes, although the Icerain skill is handy if you get mobbed... (Frost nova -> Icerain :wink: )

Imo 90 cold/fire/lightning would be best cos if you have all of these three skill trees maxed you make über damage and still with maxed buffs and snow shield you dont have problems with dying.

But if you want to take weapon skills also i would recommend 90weapon/cold/lightning and 30 fire. Cos you need only lightning nukes and weapon skills in pvp and lightning nukes and ice rain nukes in pve.

Pretty easily, the drop in dmg % increase from the piecing force series isnt massive, you can make up for lost parry with blues, only real loss is teleport and a non-expendable speed increase, in exchange you can tank like other ints like a beast, and the phy atk increase rly hurts 90ice/light nukers..
EDIT: It makes for a very good spear build, as spear either lacks phy or mag defense most of the time, that way they have both and any loss of dmg from light is compensated for by the spear and fire imbue.
