In theory, it is convenient to have no weapon skills and just nuke.

But in all fairness, even int characters need weapon skills.

S/S has KD/stab and spear has stun and knockback. They are important for power and survivability in PvP and are also useful in PvE.

You need weapon skills if you want to survive whether in PvP or PvE. Besides it gets pretty boring, just doing nukes. Whether if its a stun or kd, they can really save your life. Weapon skills really come in handy in PvE too when your being aggroed. or just want to kill the monster before it hits you again than excuting another nuke which takes another sec or 2.

Lvl up your weapon skills. The passives, buffs, and some of the skills are really good for pvp. Plus, you kind of need at least 30 lvls of weapons skills until you get your nukes.

unless u are only gonna be the ranged support player for group pvp, then u'll need weapon skills, they are essential for 1v1.

Pure Int having lower life then most of the other players?! S/S! But if you want to have the biggest dmg but also biggest chance of dead because of lag? Spear. Your choice!

I would grind with s/s as a pure int. I am spear with 82% mag balance naked, 100%-102% with gear, I dont have bad gear (all items have 4/5 int str) just 2 sos items for the moment but all other items are +4. And I die sometimes because I get mobbed. I also need to have autopot at 90% sometimes. When I use s/s I can have autopot at 50/60 %. Int based mobs dont do much dmg its the phys that do alot, especially the crits ;P.
