Pure int s/s

Tasdik · Post by **Tasdik** » Tue Mar 20, 2007 3:53 am

Ok guy I made a pure int S/S guy and i was wondering is it worth it to up my wepon skills cause the only ones that seem useful are the knockdown and stab and the blocking ratio+ other then that i don't see any reason in wasting alot of sp into it.....what is your guys thoughts?

Tasdik · Post by **Tasdik** » Tue Mar 20, 2007 1:30 pm

juntakashi · Post by **juntakashi** » Tue Mar 20, 2007 1:36 pm

get 1 chain, helps in pve vs giants.

kd and stab more for pvp its kinda a waste for nukers to kd and stab mobs becuz u can nuke / chain and kil them faster

Tasdik · Post by **Tasdik** » Tue Mar 20, 2007 3:17 pm

hmm...So you think i should get a chain for pvp and pve or just pve?

Tasdik · Post by **Tasdik** » Tue Mar 20, 2007 3:31 pm

so umm.....how would this build be? http://bobtheveg.dyndns.org/SRO/Char_Bu ... file=15424

dude i have the same char too (pure int, s&s), and the skills i raised are the first 1 and the chain attack (it really helps). so go for the kd and stab but take the first ones too (it needs only 20 together, and it takes low mana). it helps when u fight tougher mons than u and u kill fatser so if u farm, it help

im only lvl 14 but i have 1 lvl 29 and im a noob.... :roll:

so ask for more help before u do something

Get heaven chain, it rocks and does more dmg than my fire nuke. By the time you fire off your opening nuke shot, the monster will be in melee range so instead of firing off a 2nd boring nuke, finish off in style.

Alright I'll do that

Do not use your chains. They suck. You will save a LOT of hp pots by firing a nuke instead, or a nuke+lion shout if necessary. If you're training on monsters that you need 2 nukes to kill, you're training on the wrong monsters.

If you plan on making a pure int s/s for pvp, try reading my guide:

I use a pure int s/s and i would advise against the chains...Chains are more for str cuz more hits means more chances to crit...and since crit does nothing for you, it's kinda a waste IMO. At lvl 42 I have kd, stab, and 1 level in soul cut blade. The soul cut blade only costs 36 mana and does more damage than my 2nd book shout (318 mana) , so it saves a ton of pots.

Yah I forgbot pure int are supposed to grind on green mobs = X

With decent weapons you can kill white mobs at a decent rate.

Agreed; soul cut is mp efficient + it does more damage than lionshout.

white mobs: soul cut + nuke (+ soul cut again if necessary; you still have time to do all that with the 2nd book fire imbue)
orange mobs: soul cut + nuke + (when up close) KD (+ Stab if necessary)

I got chains too, but don't know when's a good time to use it; you just become trigger happy with the nuke button.

go no weapons till 60 use the sp u would use on ice guard and ice passive

and if u have enough sp lvl up ur fire and light nukes and train on them.

shield + the ice bonuses save ur ass big time

Uhh is that a joke? no weapons O_o? Anyway I recommend getting heuskal instead of ice b/c HP bonus from spear > Def from Ice (i will probably be flamed XD)

And you should probably be grinding white or orange mobs depending on the weapon you have... remember that you dont need to be able to kill with just a nuke. A soul cut+nuke is like 1.5 nukes for the price of 1 nuke so if you can kill a white or orange with that, by all means do it

. You will level so much faster.

Yah thats kinda what i was thinking about Ice guard is nice + i can have all three nukes which means if i'm attacking a gaint i can fire them back to back to back

The reason I want to try this is cause I know 3+ people who are 50+ and they have no wepon skills now tell me why would 3 people waste time on it if it wasn't a good build?

Green and white mobs? The horror. How boring. Hunt red that you can kill in 2 hits. Puts hair on your chest.

lol .. with bandaids on your back and hole in the pocket?

nah ... i agree, sometimes red ones are just better ... from the perspective of exp/sp gain rate.

abt purely force and no weapon skills, these builds are good and very fun for pve. but they will suffer big time in pvp. it's your preference ...

zephyr · Post by **zephyr** » Fri Mar 23, 2007 4:47 am

Hunt white/orange. you die less, you kill faster, you get exp/sp faster, you use less pots, and you get more drops. Always start off with a nuke since it takes the longest to cast.
Some people go with a 0-3gap all the way to 64/72 and then start farming all their sp in the donwhang stone cave. That would explain most people with no weapon skills early on.

dont get chain.. u dont need chain vs giants or pve. thats wat nukes are for.

the guy sed ^^ up there use chain instead of fire book 2 nuke cuz hes a noob. book 2 nuke is stronger than book 3 fire nuke.. book 3 is weaker but has AOE. so use anothr nuke to kill

BladeBunny · Post by **BladeBunny** » Wed Mar 28, 2007 8:45 pm

If u want to save some SP, i would recommend NOT to upgrade the first fire nuking skill, its not necessary, cuz u get the second one at lvl 43.

And i would take Ice too, cuz the ice protection series is kinda important if ure gonna be a nuker

What drugs are u on man?

u want to grind on mobs than u can 1 hit nuke, if u have good enough gear 1 shotting white mobs is a great way to grind quickly. why waste time using soul cut up to 2 times + a nuke, when u can just fire of 1 nuke and move onto the next mob

mysticLight · Post by **mysticLight** » Thu Mar 29, 2007 7:30 pm

i leveled up to 69 with low lvl weapon skills and you can not win in pvp with just nukes you need a weapon skill later on or else you will be killed practicly everytime in pvp.

I grind on red mobs. I kill them before they even hit me.

Keywords, 'if you have good gear'; no way you could kill a white with 1 hit using a sword with non-SOS weapons; nukes damage fluctuates too much if you've noticed. Also, as a s/s your nukes are weaker than spear; it would makes sense for spear to try to kill with one nuke. Patience dude, 2 to 3 hits is nothing compared to those pure str bladers who hacks at it for days! I say as long as you could kill orange mob in under 1 imbue's time it's worth it and an efficient use of mp.

HBblade · Post by **HBblade** » Fri Mar 30, 2007 7:31 am

if you're pure int, all you want to do is nuke all the time. nukes does more dmg then chains, & w/ a big 1 hit dmg, you're less likely to get ks'd

know why bladers get ks'd so easily??? it's not that their dmg is weak, but that their dmg is spread out so much that a nuker/glavier can just take a blader's kill by doing a big 1 hit dmg
