Spear or S/S

[Fusion2k]

There are alot of topics about this but i was asking this in accordance to my character.

Ok so right now im lvl 61 with approx 22k sp, By lvl 64 i need 52k sp and by 64 i will have about 63k sp for sure. I am pure int s/s atm fire/light

with my leftover exp i am unsure what to do.
Currently my masteries are...

Fire 56
Cold 30
Light 56
Bich 10
Heusk 20

By 64 i plan on this...
Fire 64
Cold 50 or 48
Light 64

I am unsure whether to go spear or sword at 64 and heres why.

Sword skills... Knockdown and Stab.. Ironwall Shield.
Spear. spin and knockback, stun and nice crits.

Based on i am going to wear armour with about int 4 str 4 on everypeice.


What weapon should i choose and why. I know this will be a big debate so.. let it begin

Pure int i would stick with s\s for the extra defence and the ironwall which can get you out of sticky situations.

This dosnt mean that you cant still use a spear to grind. Magical damage dosnt take any weapon masteries into account, so even if your bicheon mastery is lvl 60, and your spear mastery is lvl 0, with npc weapons you will still hit higher with a spear.

Okay thanks

how come you are leveling 5 trees.....4 is the amount needed for 80 cap right. im lvl 40 s/s nuker and my skills are

34 bicheon
36 light
36 fire
30 heuksal (HP passive)


Now this 90 cap is coming and cold is supposed to be good because of a mana shield. What can i do now? Fire gives most damage and light for speed. what is the level cold must be to max mana shield? This build will be hard to manage. i cant give up fire or light cuz those are my nukes....hmmm any suggestions?

[Fusion2k]

the reason its at 10 is just incase, and im not making 5 skills, so chill..

anyways, i have cold because of the buffs and the help they give for nukers. Plus the update will benefit me, i have heskual for hp and i only have bicheon to 10 just because. anyways. i was deciding what to lvl up and i have decided on s/s so bicheon

For pure int. S/S is recommend. For hybrid im pretty sure that spear is better than s/s. But NEVER spear full int. Too low defense and hp.

you know, everyone's going pure int s/s to the cap but i do think with the mana shield a spear int would be 10x more deadly than s/s and more effective...A spear user by lvl 90 pure int should have 13-15k with all the bonus...and i mean i see normal lvl 90's hitting 20k+ with new skills, a spear would definately hit +2 k with that...and with a lot of hp and with the mana shield i think it would be pwnage...
BUT, if i was you id just farm till the new update comes out and then see what u'll waste ur sp on

[soxdrop]

now thats what i can't decide either
Have you guys seen spear users in foreign sros depend that much on mana shield by usind spear?
Maybe i will have to wait and not lvl anything until the update :/
