if you want to go sword shield, take pure int.

reasons:

pure str: str based; sword is an int based weapon so it
has a higher magic attack than physical attack. for shield
on str chars, take blade as weapon.

int hybrid: possible, but you will lack magic damage compared
to an int hybrid spear, who has enough healt to survive since
he is a hybrid.

str: glavie or blade or bow
int: sword, spear
hybrid str: glavie or bow
hybrid int: spear

about the skils.. many possibilities.
i would take at least bicheon, fire and lightning.
lightning has the highest magic attack, fire has got strong nukes
and the strongest imbue on your weapon. pure ints are nukers
so you need lots of lightning to compensate your lack of magic
damage you got since you use swordshield instead of spear.

so id say go bicheon and lightning as main, fire as sub tree.

but does imbue have to be fire or light? cuase i see they all use fire as imbue, not much sword use lighting...

most pure int have fire and light as force trees. light has the
strongest nukes and AoE (area of effect) attacks and increases
the players parry ratio and lowers that of the opponent.

fire has strong nukes aswell, but has also got the strongest
imbue in the game. apart from the nukes and imbue, fire is
nearly useless to int chars because the most buffs are phy
atk/def based.

i tried an int hybrid s/s but i got tired of the slow leveling
compared to my spear int hybrid friend. i swapped to
spear and found the fun in the game again :)

btw also wear garment on that one but thats because it
has got more hp than any pure int since its hybrid. on a
pure int id wear garms first and armors for pvp and high
level mobs.
