Pure INT in garms?

Heya.

I was thinking to get my nuker back on her feets.
Ive seen many pure INT players in garments and always wondered how do they get so much defense, even against str chars.

I would like to go with garms so ima give you some informations.

All gears are without equipment:
HP: 5592
MP: 15199

Phy Def: 63
Mag Def: 295
Phy balance: 55%
Mag balance: 91%
Hit Ratio: 156
Parry Ratio: 166

So what should I look at to go with garms?
Im planning to pimp them myself as the money comes along.
I know they should have 5 str and 5 int on each if possible, and 400hp.

But is there anything else I should look at when Im getting my set together?

Should I take Ice for defense or Heuksal for HP increase?
Ive been told Heuksal many times as its always good to have all HP you can get.

But anyway, any lights you could shed on my queestioning mind would be appreciated.

about the heuksal and ice thingy.. id normally advise you
to take heuksal over ice, since most ppl are immune to
ice on high level and the def is similar to the hp bonus
you get with heuks. however, the new coming ice skills
promise to be outstanding in defense. there was a movie
where a pure int was tanking 5 pure str and survived.

so in my opinion you should take ice over heuksal now,
if you want to be sword shield int.
if i would make an int now i would probably take spear
over sword (looking at the new coming ice buff) but thats
just my personal taste

just note that it may take ages for the new skills to be
implemented, but it takes ages to level to the cap as well.

hmm, I'd go for heuksal, cause the moves pwn and the HP buff is super duper

have you compared it with the ice skills/buffs? you are telling
a one sided story. if they pwn and the buff is super, how are
the pwnage and the buffs compared to ice?

as far as i know, ice is a bad skill at this moment because a
lot of 60+ are immune to ice and the lack of defense can be
compensated by the extra amount of hp from the heuksal
buff. the new coming ice skill however makes a pure int
capable of tanking several pure str same level. that helps
a lot more than some extra hp i think.

Im at the cap already, been hacked and choose to get the char back on its feets.

could you perhaps post the other skills you have? like
just your masteries will be fine. then i think its easier
to give an answer

I'm currently building a pure int s/s and asked that same question to a few high lvl nuker friends who both told me to go with ice. even though some are imune the shield and passive skills alone make up for the hp you would get from heuskal. plus you get ice wall if u want it and an extra nuke for those who aint imune and for farming. it's nice to have the ice nuke when u dont want to aggro mobs with light. this way u still have 2 nukes 2 use when farming on stronger mobs that u dont want 2 aggro.
