Will waiting for lvl 30 pay off ?

Zorandel · Post by **Zorandel** » Thu May 18, 2006 7:19 am

I'm doing a nuker. First one in my SRO career.
I would like to know if, once I reach lvl 30, will I be able to 1-hit/2-hit monsters on my respective level?
I believe the next level of nukes beyond 30 is 32. Will that be a significant increase or will I struggle for survival until I reach 50+ (that's the level at which ppl say, that a nuker will own everything...).
I'm relatively poor, as this is my first char who got past lvl 20, so I have no super gear. Just the equipement I get from NPS and random drops - so, not much.

as a pure int, you will do pretty massive dmg against mobs with your nukes. i'm a hybrid, so i don't know for sure, but i'm pretty sure you'll have no problem 1- or 2-hitting mobs. i 2-hit white mobs and have ever since i started nuking, so i would imagine you'd have similar - if not better - results. it's worth it IMO.

Yes, waiting till Lv 30 is worth it. At such a low level with only your first fire nuke may not do much at first, but a little bit later 32-35 you will start to get a stronger nuke and generally be able to 1-hit mobs a few levels lower than you.

Personally I would wait much later... mmm, say lvl 35, before upgrading the nuke, mainly to do some sp farming while I have this huge leap in damage. Getting a nuke at lvl 30 is like switching from a reg weapon to sos. If using lightning nuke, you'll easily be able to 1 hit taoist, an earth ghost, and w/ one more slash, another earth ghost with one nuke. For flowers, I'd suggest investing in both fire and lightning nuke, and the two should finish it off.

i'm looking forward to my nukes, (lvl 28) for 2 lvls i've been able to 2 hit earth ghosts and meek gun powders with my sword, so i really cant wait to see what i can do with my nukes........

+3 32 sword
+4 32 sword
+5 32 sword
Som 32 sword

i'm a lvl 35 hybrid using the fire nuke, without the fire imbue including i now 1-hit till the ghost soldiers, with the fire imbue to the earth ghosts, but my lvl mobs, no way, well, prolly around 2/3 nukes

I'm a level 30 full int nuker. I take out horses and ghosts with 1 imbue + 1 nuke; earth thaoists with 1 imbue + 1 lion shout + 1 nuke or 1 imbue + 2 nukes depending on how lucky I feel. Most fun I have with demon horses though: run into a group of about 8 of them, and level them all with 3-4 lightning nukes while they're desparately trying to break through my block 18 shield and protector gear.

just get both fire and light nuke lvl 1 at 30, you would blow the crap outta everything, trust me.

Have fun . . . as a pure int, the game totally changes once you hit Lv30 masteries.

I'm half way to lvl 26. I just can't wait for 30

But it's so darn boring to grind all the time (and the quests are soooo diverse

)
Trading is also a pain in the ass, cause of dumb high-lvl thieves, who ride trade horses and kill me with their npc thieves.
If I saw sucha guy in real life - I would literally bead the crap out of him

Yes. As a Pure Int at level 30, you start feeling above others, and start KSing Str's like me. I hate Pure Ints

Ionno about your server but on Oasis, SoS+3 lvl 32 swords are around 6-7m, and SoM lvl 32 swords are around 10-12m, spear goes about the same, maybe a mil or 2 more

im lvl 37, i have 30 points put into str, so does that make me hybrid? idk who cares, anyways, and i kill things with lightning nuke and a heaven shout, if not that, then its light nuke, heaven shout, lion shout and its dead, champions i use light nuke + fire nuke and a shout if its being stubborn
