_devil_ · Post by **_devil_** » Tue Mar 20, 2007 6:57 pm

I am pure int lvl 12 with a 8 gap, i use spear currently but the mastery is only 5 so i can always delvl if i go s/s

Anyways should i go s/s or spear for pure int?

I think S&S is better, because as pure INT, you need the extra defence given by the shield.

The pure INT spear is the fastest leveling build in the game, but will die in PVP, unless it has godly gear.
In the end, I think Sword is better then spear, for pure INT chars.

Well, depends on what you really want.....if you plan on pvping, as tiglari51 mentioned, if you go w/ just spear, you'll die fast unless you have really good gear...and I mean great gear lol...so s/s is in favor for pvp.

If you just plan on lvling, I'd say just go for spear.

you could go spear/ s/s, but @ later caps, you might end up delvling one or the other =/

Dual Weapon.
Looking at S/S 70
Spear 80
Fire 80
Light 70
for end masterys,

If you only want a single weapon mastery go for s/s. knockdown and Br helps

I would say S/S also but I'm kinda biased

just put it this way, S/S = less pots... less pots used = more money. plus you won't die as often

I would say s/s, but both are good builds, it really depends if you like a combination of killing and tanking or just really powerful moves but weak defense.

Yah for pure int i say s/s but if you go hybrid int and use spear you still give nice dmg + with the hp bonous you can take some dmg too

Damage of a spear is overkill, IMO, at least speaking up to level 60ish monsters, no idea on higher stuff. I have absolutely no problem killing things 7-12 levels higher than me faster than non-underhunting one-shot nukers while using only a sword and shield.

you are already a pure INT, meaning you already have great damage,
so you might wanna go for S/S, for better tanking

s/s ftw!

just use s/s in pvp and get bicheon tree, but keep a good spear for nuking when killing mobs.

i just want to know if using s/s for pure int will be lvling the same as a pure str blade

S/S with heuksal passive FTW.. aftrer done farming u might want to lvl heuksal's most usefull skills.. multi skills more fun..

YinYarr · Post by **YinYarr** » Thu Mar 22, 2007 4:53 pm

I would say S/S
Many people say take spear for stun it can save u...
U got the the knockdown skill with Sword..
And shield makes up more than the +1K Hp u get from Heuksal..

devilti · Post by **devilti** » Thu Mar 22, 2007 7:18 pm

u can get 2 weaps and dual with it.

require too much sp thou/

i suggest lv to52 with spear thaen farm all sp for sword.
spear master of 43.

spear for mobs and s/s for pvp. bad thing is too much money required for weap.

tehn u can decide whether which weap to use. try both of them.

dont just listen to wat other ppl says

I say go for both. Yeah, the shield blocks more damage than 1000 health you'd get from heuksal, but that heuksal helps you from criticals done to you, otherwise you'd have a chance to die in one hit.
