regarding nukes and masteries...

Boogyman · Post by **Boogyman** » Sun Aug 19, 2007 4:45 pm

Hi,

I was planning on making a s/s nuker, and now I'm trying to get my masteries sorted out.

I was thinking of only taking 3 masteries: bicheon, lighting and cold...

Yet, I don't know what the difference in damage is between a fire nuke with a fire imbue or a lightning nuke with a lighting imbue.
Could anybody having both masteries tell me this?

Secondly, do you think that a character with only bicheon, lighting and cold could be any good?

With kind regards,

Boogyman

fire/ice nukers are becoming more and more common everydday, with me as one as well.
fire nukes and imbues do slightly more damage.
the very last lightning nuke you get is the most powerful one in the game, which is why people are seeing less and less need for fire
ice nukes suck but the defence from snow shield is amazing.
ice/light/bicheon will be my final build as well, i say go for it.

I decided I will give it a try

Only thing I'm unsure about are some cold skills. It would probably be wise to take the cold nukes aswell, as they aren't that bad in PVE (correct me if I'm wrong though)
Thus I'm thinking of taking all skills except the icewall skills and the imbues; is this any good?

Secondly, I'm quite unsure about which server to start on. Preferably one without to many people and a decent devision of chinese and european characters and people that speak english (rare to meet one in oasis it seems =/)

Thx for your feedback,

With kind regards,

Boogyman

if you are pure go with

bicheon 80 / lightning 80 / cold 80 / heuksal 60

if you are hybrid

bicheon 80 / fire 80 / lightning 80 / cold 60

I'm not quite sure about raising heuksal...

An extra boost in hp seems nice (dunno how big the difference is though), but it highers the amount of sp I need to farm.
Also, if I would ever reach the cap, the cap probably has been raised, which means I would have to delevel one tree.
Allthough it's still hard to calculate my sp without knowing what skills to get in ice. Could anyone shed some light upon that?

Thx in advance...

you get 1078 hp from lvl6 heuksal passive, dunno bout how much it raises from 6 to 7 tough

That's quite a lot of hp, so thx for the tip on the heuksal passive...
If I ever make the effort to make a 80 character, I could take the effort to delevel one masterytree, may I reach 80 and the 90 cap's out

Only 2 questions remain...
1) What protector should I wear?
2) What should I do with certain skill trees of ice, like the nova series, the arrest series and the nukes; which ones should I raise and which ones not

Thx for your help so far..

With kind regards,

The second book of the nuke isnice. You do damage to 5 mobs and get a chance at freezing/slowing them.

the stoping skill ( 2nd book too is really usefull if you tank. it frezze 5 around you.

The fire mastery will help you a lot with magical mob and the fire nuke is the most powerfull until you get the last light nuke.

( I just love the meteor nuke. It looks like a big poop from the sky :twisted:

)

If you dont have fire, go with garms, if you have fire go with prot.

From the ice tree all you need is the defense buff, the snow shield n the passive. Nova frost is useful some times, so get it if you want.

Hmm,

LoveIsDead, you say I should take heuksal to 60, but does this mean I should only get the passives, or also some attacks and a spear?

This is because, with bichion 80, light 80, cold 80 and heuksal 60, my light nukes will probably be significantly weaker than if I had fire (don't know what's the differnce is though) which is quite a disadvantage in PVP.

Thx for the help,

The lightning nuke outdamages the fire nuke in the end, the book 3 light nuke i mean, n no the diference is not that big, nothing that will make a diference in pvp. But if you are unsure bout light nukes take a look

Oh n remember that im just sugesting, i think that my build works, atleast for me, that doesnt mean you have to go the same way, im just sugesting.
N as for heuksal tree i only have the passive n the ghost spear series, its useful for grinding

Well, I have decided to go with the
80 bicheon,
80 light,
80 cold,
60 heuksal build...

First, I'll only get the heuksal passives, and maybe, when I have the money and the sp later on, I could get a spear and be a dual-weapon..

So.. Of to farming I guess =/

Thx for all your help
