Hybrid Int S/S Masteries Dilemma. Ecsro.

[pth9331]

Here is what i'm planning to do as a hybrid 7:1 S/S :

Fire 90
Bicheon 80
Lighting 70
Cold 60.

But throughout the game, i kept hearing "Prepare for the upcoming skills, take more ice and max lightning, leave fire, or you'll spent millions deleveling it"
And some say that without fire, i'm nothing, which is true, cause it has the highest nuke and good imbue and immune. So if i have to leave ice, will i lose that much def ?
So my questions are :
1.should i max ice and lightning for the upcoming skills, or max fire and go with the build i planned for ?
2.So if i have to leave ice, will i lose that much def ? (at lvl 60, you get +84 def increase buff + passive)
3.Also will Snow Shield be updated ?
4.Would i be able to keep this build even if new skills come out ?

Please help be clear this problem :/. And comment on the build please PvP wise.

Actually nobody knows if we will get new skills on ecsro or not, but it doesn't seem something which will come soon.
Almost 99% of people make their builds just for the current masteries and cap system. Have fun and if a day new skills are added then that will be the moment to worry about this.

About your questions:

1. I would go with the build you planned (actually I would go fire 90/light 70/cold 70/bicheon 70, but well that's just me)
2. lvl 60 is the minimum lvl with useful phy def. IMO. I would go with this one always.
3. If there is a skill update sure there will be a snow shield.
4. Cold 60 gives 40% snow shield. Your build would be still useful.

First of all make full int. If you want to go with hybrid use spear. (just IMO though)

Im full int and Im going with 90 fire/ 70 lightning, cold, bicheon. As said.

And when skill update comes (it will come no doupt about that) snow shield will be added only if europe characters are added (snow shield was originally added becouse of europeans).

And if they add snow shield and europeans, fire will be pretty much useless. (Well not useless but no as good as other masteries)

But don't plan your build for new skills. Cos no one knows when they are coming. I highly doupt that even GMs know when they are coming.

i think euro should be made a separate server...
but that's for another discussion


OT:

1.should i max ice and lightning for the upcoming skills, or max fire and go with the build i planned for ? go with max fire since it has the lvl 70 fire nuke = strongest in game so far
2.So if i have to leave ice, will i lose that much def ? (at lvl 60, you get +84 def increase buff + passive) cold is still good imho at 60
3.Also will Snow Shield be updated ? dunno yet
4.Would i be able to keep this build even if new skills come out ? you would have to delvl something but have fun at the current status now

Am I the only one thinking that lvl 70 fire nuke sucks BIG time? It is maxed at lvl 1 and it's then even worse than other nukes. Will it be better laiter ? Someone with experience answer me please !

It still sucks at 87, I don't even have it on my bar. The meteor nuke goes up to 90 though, so fire is still the best bet for strong nukes.

Thank you for all your replies.

What do you think would be the good build when the new skills come out ? (snow shield Excluded).

[DumboDii]

90 cold, lightning, bicheon/ 30 fire

[AznFury]

90 cold, lightning, bicheon/ 30 fire

why so much cold without snow?
i mean once ec updates the skills but when will that be?

the phy def is still good and everything but that's alot of cold.

i'd switch cold for fire.

god to bad Alterran quit he was a master of the int hybrid builds

<<Flattering ourselves, are we? - Ru>>

[pth9331]

Yea, imo,aznfury has a point. I don't understand, why cold so high without snow shield? Yes indeed we get a great boost from def, but well yea, i think 50-70 cold is enough.

[DumboDii]

I had a second thought about that build I posted.

Better would be 90 fire, lightning, bicheon/ 30 cold

[NameChange]

Go with build u had planned, i think its prolly best for skills u get in ECSRO, ATM.

[pth9331]

Yea ATM

You guys know how much it cost to delevel for exemple fire from lvl 90 to lvl 30 ?
