Hmm.. what is the difference?

[Aura]

I've never played a pure int build pass lvl20 but now i want to make one

I want to ask all of you expereniced pure int players that what is the real difference of pure int compared to pure str/fire glaive?

The only thing thats holding me back from picking a pure int now is that some people say that pure int do really bad in pvp and that they can't kill bosses (unless they are in a party)
is this true?

[DragonTalon]

LOL who ever told u Pure Ints suck at pvp is totally wrong.

[ThatBluePerson]

Low HP higher magical attacks.

[Temptation]

Nukers grind faster.

damn that's a big lie, pure int kick butts when pvp...

and they get all the unique kills!!


go for pure int, you will never regret it!! eva!!

[TOloseGT]

pure ints suck at pvp at lower lvls. not enough high damaging skills to compensate for poor hp. once u get 50-60, u'll start to see how great pure ints r.

Hmmm ok then
I guess ill have to pure quite a lot now dun I? (700k of sp...)

Any good guides that you would suggest me to read beforehands?

btw
what are some common pure int builds for sword/shield (or is pure int with spear better? )

[NuclearSilo]

dmg = 2x pure str
HP = 0.3 Str HP
Benefit more in defense because of the reinforce ie int in armor will have both phy and mag def higher than str in garment.
leveling fast
ranged attack
super kser
easy to die
running away when meet uniques, giants

etc

well if you go spear, you will deal great damage but you will have "low" defense, i guess mana shield has helped heuksal players to take a few more hits.

I'm a s/s, i definitely love blocking and knocking down enemies.
And even tho my damage is not the same like if i used a spear, sword pure ints still deal good damage when they nuke

[Aura]

oh.
so i looked at some guides

is it common to go just sword/lighting skills or more better to go fire too?

you will need them both

and ice too for snow shield.

Its up to you what masteries you want for pure int. Lightning is the main skill tree for most int chars. The rest is totally up to your preference

[Aura]

but 'later on' i thought we can only focus on 2 masteries (i remember someone saying that =s)

i love the effect of snow shield though =x

[TOloseGT]

later on is quite a while away.

The mastery limit is 300. By later on you mean at lvl 150 cap. So two trees will take your whole mastery limit of 300.

If you plan to play that long <.<

At the moment in isro, all chars are at lvl 80, so you get to distribute 3 full trees + 60 extra mastery levels. If you plan ahead for lvl 90 cap, then its really only 3 full trees +30 extra mastery levels.

P.s you dont have to get full trees, you can lvl up partially but its not always a good idea :/

i dunno i just feel like to plan for long term ><

[realfoxboy]

i think pure int is the best but i like having tons of HP

[Aura]

i like having tons of HP

who doesnt

[NuclearSilo]

Pure int tanker ftw. Buy a lot of item mall items plz.

[RichardDawkins12]

pure int is shit.

your beter off adding str from 70 to 80.

Personally I'd add from low lvl first then pure int till 80

[NuclearSilo]

And your final fate is : got pwn by 1 shot of a crossbow

[Aura]

ahhhhh

almost all the pure int s/s guides here are outdated or hybrid

[TOloseGT]

here's a pure int guide for you for 120 cap:

3 gap to lvl 120.

120 fire, get everything except passive and phys dmg+
120 light, get everything except imbue
60 ice, max frost guard, frost wall, snow shield, and passive

no skills for sword (aww.. no 50% dmg to MP snow shield )

[TOloseGT]

120 fire and light guarantees u the highest lvl nukes. that's all that should matter for u =)

42% snow shield is good enough. not like u'll be tanking neway. send ur glaiver/blader slaves to do that.

[Aura]

hmmm. ic
ok thx

ill follow that guide xD

anyways..
sword mastery a no no?
(i thought u should focus on 2 masteries)

[RichardDawkins12]

i'm not pure int slave T_T

besides their the first to die lol

[TOloseGT]

in the end u'll delvl ice and just have fire/light, IF 150 is the cap. which i doubt o.o

Defense is less important in group play (especially one with a resser) so you can go the maximum damage route. A pure int, can actually tank albeit for 120 seconds if you max snow shield. So you could drop fire and go ice and lightning. It works well for me so far, but again its really up to your play style and expectations.
