Cold, Fire Lightning or Lightning and Fire?

Post by DyingInside01 »

Hello Silkroad Forums :)

My question is this, I'm in developing stage of making a nuker
My main headache is should i learn Fire and Lightning or Fire, Cold, Lightning
I can see at 60+ it will give me a giant defense bonus of 80+ defense and with only having 5k+ life i think i will need it but I'm no pro

Relevant information:
Sword and Shield
Going to farm 300k+ sp
I'm also learning Bacheon

I say fire and light, since your sword/shield that's substituting for your cold.

But wouldn't it be wise to have more defense and not just to rest on the extra defense from my shield

Thanks for the feedback!

Shield is sometimes better than Cold Defense, it can Block, Cold Buff can't block. Also, you say your learning Bicheon, the passive for that will add tot he defense.

Sorry, but I have to be objective to make sure I'm in the right path.

Would it still be better to have that much more defense .. shield+mastery=defense and cold=even more

And is Bacheon sword mastery :P

Thanks for your replies!

Don't forget about your 300 masteries, depends on what lvl you want to take your cold or bicheon mastery to.

Well if i did learn cold how would i divide my masteries, fire 80, lightning 80, bicheon 60, cold 60

But in the case i do learn cold how should i spread my masteries?

Thanks for your replies!

Are you going for just the cold buff and passive? And for Bicheon are you going for the KD or chains or just the passive.

The majority of nukers s/s now choose the passive from heuksal mastery, and dont get cold because a good shield with a decente block ratio ( +17 ) is way better then cold buffs.

From what I understand with pure int you don't want/need chains all you need is the sword dance skills KD and Stab and the block % bonous

Well, your nuker will be one different from the others, so good luck with it.

And if you got fun with it, stays all the way with your nukes, otherwise the sp farming will make you lose interest in the game.

Keep in mind that there's going to be at least lvl 90 cap later. so you need probably 90 fire, 90 lightning, and that leaves 120 for bicheon and ice. I think for sword nukers, ice is far less important. Plus, it's a lot of sp for just the ice buff and the passive. You're going to be really bored of farming =(

Ok, thanks guys, ice is out

At the end you say 90 cap,so if and when it comes out my skills would be 90 Fire 90 Lightning 120 Bicheon?

And never get bored of farming, i love this game, farming is part of it and i love it too :)

And thanks for all the good advice :)

You can always delvl ice, but that would be up to you seeing as how much Ice would be of great help to a Int Nuker More Phy Def and Nukers have Low HP, get the point?

Thats why i posted here, nukers have very low health .. and cold would give a load of defense .. but the problem is mastery cap .. it's soooo annoying right now lol
Personally i want to learn cold but mastery is and always will be in the way but theres no way to get rid of it, we were told the mastery cap will stay at 300 :(

Also theres the issue if i will even continue playing SRO, there are so many bugs and so many other games i could play, WoW for example ... will i or will i not even get to 80

Heck, I'll just learn cold, I'm never going to get past 70 so whats the point, no silk = big no no to 80

Ok, I'm out, thanks for all the help

:wink:
