okay, for starters, if you are now beginning to farm a bit, keep at least a 4 lvl gap (assuming you know what "gaps" are) so you can get a decent amount of sp and exp from mobs

and i would suggest lightning for the other tree. since you are a pure str glavier, the defense portion of cold would not be a smart idea, seeing that you have a load of HP due to pure str

while lightning, it is good for your grasswalk/speed passives, and hit damage, etc...
- (also good for aoe my favorite, lol)
but seeing as your pure str, i think that it would be better idea to head towards the light tree, not the cold

and no, do not lvl force, though pure str is the type of build to use for force, i wouldnt suggest using it right this instant, seeing as you can SP farm at higher lvls (at the yeti's, beware of botters, lol)

and you could use spear if you are pure str, but the mag. reinforce on the glavie and spear are greatly different.
example:
- had a +2 lvl 32 glavie, mag. reinforce 15%, crit 6
- had a normal lvl 32 spear, mag reinforce 33%, crit 6
did tests to see which did the higher amount of damage with imbue (no active)

Glavie:
- 659 dmg to earth ghost
Spear
- 630 dmg to earth ghost

now as you can see, lol, that they are merely the same, and for the record, this is a pure int character, so my magical attacks were higher.

as you see, the reinforce on them determines the damage you do, since you are pure str, i would suggestively not recommend using a spear, providing the example (of course my example would be vice versa in your situation)

lol, sorry for the long thread, hope this helps, any questions, ask away

out

ok ty alot that helps me out alot lol..and since my buffs are all fire i am only lvling light for speed and passive JUST THEM 2 so light would still be beter considering i only want the speed andi wont cold help me? i could use some better defence lol ps. i know whta gap is hehe

[Slayer007]

i forgot to add this whats aoe??? thanx alot for the helo

[timtam]

aoe=area of effect

Go light 'cause grasswalk owns

[numb3rs]

Get em both

[Waisha]

Fire as main, light as sub is the best imo.

[AvengedSevenfold]

yea, aoe = aea of effect

which means that lightning is splash, attracting more enemies nearby =P
- which is good for grinding, lol

and cold WOULD help you, but since you are pure str, it wouldnt be a good idea to do it, since you already have high health, why protect it? once you get to higher lvls, youll be indestructable =P

(for the time being, lol)

haha, and speed does Pawn in higher lvls .... youll need it

and no do NOT lvl another tree, 3 is plenty! lvling another would be an assload waste of sp, so yea, i would suggest lightning =D

[Slayer007]

alright ill get light for just the speed and passive btw thanx for the help

[AvengedSevenfold]
