Nuker, How?

Fre3f4l1 · Post by **Fre3f4l1** » Wed Jan 24, 2007 12:58 am

Ohkay Well,
I'm New To Silkroad Online And I've Tried Many Times To Build A Character That Would Be Strong, But One That I Would Also Like To Play. I Love To Play As Mages/Wizards/etc. So I'm Deciding That I Would Like The Nuker Build. I Know That I Have To Max The Fire Nuke/Light Nuke/ And Maybe The Cold Nuke. I Am Going To Farm At Lvl 16 About 100k SP At The Bandit Den With A 9 Lvl Gap. So I Need To Know What Other Skills I Need; Like Imbues And Such. One Of My Main Problems Is What Weapon I Should Use. I'm Going To Get A Good Bow So I can Farm With It, But Should I Be A Full INT Spear Nuker, Or A Full INT Sword/Shield Nuker? Very confused. Help Please?

Thank You :banghead:

It is personal preference whether you want to be sword/shield or spear.

Spear gives max damage but ups your vulnerability.
Sword/Shield gives you KD/stab which greatly increases survivability.

For other information on skills, etc. check out the guides in my stickied thread.
I recommend IguanaRampage's (quite excellent) guide:

lol. I think that's the first time I've ever been quoted.

You could reduce that sig space just a little by taking out the empty line between my words and the link.

Just a suggestion

Hm, So I'm Just Wondering What Skill Is KD And Which One Is Stab?
I have A Hard Time Seeing Which Skill To Max For A Nuker. Maybe I Could Use A Screenshot Please? Thank You. And I Know This Is A Little Off-Topic But Should I use Garms/Armor/Protector?

KD (Knockdown) is the Hidden Blade Series.
Stab is the Killing Heaven Blade Series.

Between armor/protector/garment I recommend either garment or protector.

Depending on the weapon you use after farming until 30, you may want to use armor or protector for the extra physical defense against mobs up close and personal. After 30, you're just gonna be nuking so garment is a good bet. However, mobs like the Black Robber Archer/Bowman at mid 30s may give you trouble with garm because if you get caught in a pack of them, they will shoot you up. Same goes for any aggro mob. You don't wanna be swamped with too many since you're not a tanker.

Okay Thank You.
So Im Going To Max All The Books Of The Killing Heaven Series And The Hidden Blade Series Correct?

And I Chose To Wear Protector All The Way But I May Change To Armor After Level 30 If I'm Having Trouble. Thank You Again Sin.

No prob, but don't forget that garm can save you 20% magic usage and it also gives you a 20% running speed increase. Like I said, after 30 you will mainly be using nukes so garment is a good choice. But since so many people use it the price can get high and good garms can be hard to find. Along the way, there will be mobs that only do magic attacks, and garms may help you again there.

Just keeping other options open for you.

Hm, True. But With Grass Walk I Won't Necessarily Need That 20% Run Speed As Much As I Would.Although It Would Be Useful. And Correct Me If I'm Wrong, But I Believe Protector Still Gives 10% Run Speed And 10% -Magic Consumption? So i Think I'll Stick With Protector For Now, And Begin With Garment. Ugh, Lol Gold Is So Expensive In the Beginning Levels Of SRO Lol.

Yes, you are correct about protector.

Hidden Blade Series = KD
Killing Heaven Blade Series = Stab
The maxed skills are all in the guide. As for what to wear, I think that all types can be good, it is really a matter of taste. I've seen really good ints wearing all types. Obviously, armor isn't a great choice when u find urself fighting int in garms, and vice-versa with strength builds.
EDIT: I had this half-way typed for a while forgot to submit it! Sin is right on everything he said though. ^^
