Heuksal and my Nukes

koa · Post by **koa** » Mon Jan 29, 2007 10:45 pm

Question: I'm now lvl 47 with gap skills lvl 43 working towards a lvl 52 9 gap...In any event my question is i stoped my heuksal skill at lvl 20 with just 1 point in a couple of skills and 2 in passive...Will adding to heuksal add damage to my nukes? or is that just damage from strikes?

I believe it will only add damage to your strikes.

Hmmmm...ok thx...Well i guess since i don't plan to use this char in PvP maybe i can just stay fire/lite/spear all the way and not worry about a SS...I really just want him for fast killing and hunting Items...

At the moment killing Hshades with lvl 43 skills and a lvl 45 +3 spear 2 nukes are doing it fine..Granted a Nuke + lion shout would be better but hey it's still pretty damn fast...Still just not sure though if i'm just nukes if i should put points in any spear skills...

I would raise it atleast to lvl 30(40 if your not farming) if for nothing else to get the exrta HP passive. And if you have the light tree why don't you get lion shout? Isn't SS (sword/shield) part of the bicheon tree? I would max fire,light, and heuksal.unless your farming of course. I don't use heuksal but isnt there some buffs that are worth getting?

That was my question with my Heuksal @ lvl 20 and no real points invested i could always switch out..But if i'm going to saty fire/lite/spear just for killing mobs will i be ok..I am lvl 48 with lvl 43 skills i'm working to 52 and a 9 gap...

I really had never planned to SP farm with this char but after making him i really like it...Must be the killing speed in any event i want to farm just a few k and then go back to lvling him up...He's great for farming drops...

yeah you'll be ok. sounds like a good build to me. you have the hardest hitting build right there. BUT, it's also the lowest defense. you need the HP passive to increase liveability. you don't wan't to die often

yeah i'm pretty careful but i do forget how fragile i am at times...180k exp loss is brutal no matter how you look at it lol

I thought the mastery level of the weapon you're using directly effects the power of your nukes. I think it does.

Im pretty sure its just physical damage that is increased. Leveling up the force tree of your choice will increase the power of your nukes. Or thats how i interpret it anyways.

so other than lvling that my main worries should be mag attack damage & + to weapon?
