S/S-Nuker, Cold or Light Imbue?

[AngelDust]

Hi, ive read the follow S/S Nuker Guide: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=108476

At this moment i farm a my new character, a S/S Nuker (Bicheon 100 / Cold 100 / Lightning 100)
Im a little bit confused, what should i take?
Cold Imbue or Lightning Imbue?

I know that Lighning Imbue reduce the Parry ratio, transfer damage to nearby enemys & make more damage than Cold Imbue.
But i think Cold Imbue is really good for the Bicheon Chains, isnt it?

Hope you can help me to decide between this two Imbue´s...


My english is not the best, so hope you understand what i mean.

Get them both. Use the light imbue while nuking and the ice imbue why using bicheon attacks.

Or, as you seem to already know, cold deals less damage but is more useful, while lightning deals more damage. Lightning's AoE and shock effect (the one that reduces parry ratio) are not even to be considered because they are useless. So, basically lightning deals more damage, cold freezes/frostbites. Make your choice, or take both.

mhhh... a good opinion,
F1-Skillbar - Light Imbue with Nukes, Shouts
F2-Skillbar - Cold Imbue with Melee Attacks

Or you could pure your cold imbue with melee attacks in the extra floaty skill bar thing. And then use the 1 line thing and place it directly above your normal skill bar.

Either way works

IMO, get both. Ice is extremely useful for pve cause none of the mobs hav immunity, and light is better for pvp cause is does more damage.
