PvE
In PvE you want to use Your lightning and fire nukes aswell as lionshouts the lightning nukes and 3rd book fire nuke are great for killing many mobs at once and can make your grind very speedy

PvP
In PvP you want to use only your 2nd book fire nuke and your knockdowns and stabs ghost walk is also very usefull and if you chose to get icewall and firewall you can use those Fire vs. Int players, Ice Vs. Str players. Shield technique series is also great vs str players.

It should say PvP not PvM right?

Putting all STR items will distort your magical balance.

Addint Str DOES NOT take away int.

Update: added total required sp from 0-80

im following that almost the same except only going 69 on bich and 80 on light.

uhh 69 lite? i assume u want to get piercing bk4 lvl1? wat if skills become updated and u hav more lvl to increase piercing since ur int? and as you lvl each mastery lvl, doesnt it raise by 1%, will make your lite nukes less powerful?

That's why you should max book 1 fire and try to use light nukes less and less.

Fire 1: reasonable damage and fast cooldown
Fire2 for damage and minor AoE
Fire 3 for nice AoE

Theres no reason to take light past 68/69 at all the lightning nuke is really only usefull when grinding leveling the mastery increases lightning damage there is only 2 skills in lightning tree that actually do damage thats imbue and lightning nuke. So sure you can level light to 80 instead of bicheon but then your kds are much weaker and if you have ever watched high lvl pvp you would know that a pure int s/s has no chance vs a str glavie or blade without kd. Most people dont use lightning nuke in pvp anyway.

[Susanoo]

Every level in bicheon increases physical damage done and does NOT increase the % chance to KD (atleast that is what I thought, because KD chances depends on the skill?), while every level in light skill increases light damage. So wouldn't Bicheon be better off for a hybrid and light for a pure?

Just because your pure int doesnt mean that you cant do phy damage, All im saying is that I find as a high level pure int i use my kd way more then i use my light nuke. I suppose it depends on what you do more and your playing style but after all if your going to follow the advice of my guide you should probably follow the skills also =) If you plan on going 80 light instead of bicheon Your not going to do aswell in pvp simple as that.

im not sure if i agree... maybe... but i am still going 80 light simply because i am using light imbue as my main imbue, its the best for splash damage and transferring the freeze effect from my ice nuke to other mobs. its great. light imbue ftw.

KD damage is mainly from your imbue.
But every bit counts.

**** the flame body... it is physical dmg %.. not magical

[IguanaRampage]
