u shud make new char.

SWORD is an int based build, not for pure str.

To be honest, re-make, create a swordsman, go for bicheon, heuksal, fire and lightning.

Make sure you SP farm alot (see other threads)

And good luck with yr char.

as a swordman you want your magical balance high
for hybrid like 87%ish, full would be all int points added since lvl 1.

restart your char.

couldn`t I just put int from now on? It`ll be a Int hybrid! I read on the forum one guide for a sword and shild caracter that sayd I should go with Str till lvl 11 and then only int! So even if I won`t have the best caracter if I go on Int from now on it should be a decent one, no?

If ur plannin to add Stat Points to Int, u wuld end up wit Hybrid INT.. then go SPEAR .. for Hybrid INT SPEAR is te best ...

If u wanna b swords then go PURE INT .. means remake a character... morever ur jus lvl 15 ... so u can restart again....

Yes you will be fine. Int hybrid swords are a very powerful build. You will suck though until around lvl 42+. Its around that point where your mag balance will be getting back to where is should be. By 52 you will be very strong.

You might want to just remake your character though so that you will be better when you are lvl 30 when you get your nukes.

Don't worry about not being pure, it isn't all its cracked up to be.
Just add int from now on.

Fire for your main imbue is fine. You will also want lightning for grass walk(run fast) and peircing force which increases your magic damage.

You can wear whatever you want for gear. If you have lots of money I would recommend garms for the speed increase, unfortunately though you will be weak to physical attack in garms, so you would need a few sos pieces. Protector is what I would recomend if you cant afford sos. You can also mix armor and protector, you can't with garment.
