Question about Physical Levels..

I'm doing a Spear nuker (Fire, Lightning, and Ice) and I'm wondering if I should put any SP into my Physical Spear Mastery.

yes put points in spear mastery
for one you would love to have the passive
and second you realy would want the 360degree attack skill
and that stunning skill, mabe even a few more skills
Remember you as a nuker have high int and thus very good magic damage from your imbue
the lil bid of phy attack +your massive imbue makes spear skills pretty lethal, even the very 1st spear skill will do some great damage + its realy fast to use , and has a short cool down time , this skill is mosty ignored by str chars couse of its smaller damage , but an int can make full use of this skills speed to get his/her magic damage onto a target

Nukes are slow , if you wanna be a good nuker you must also learn when not to nuke and just bash with imbue+spear skils
Attack speed can be more usefull in some situations that Big slow charging nukes

Aaaaannnd , if you have some others skills to use your grinding wont be as boring , couse you can nuke AND smash , and make every combination between your skills , have fun experiment , he you might end up with a never seen befor combo of skills that will wow everyone

Well, I don't really know how effective combining spear attacks w/ nukes are, but there are forms of "pure" nukers who only cast the force spells: dual nuker, nuker w/ the 3 shouts, or a combination of these.

I always figured that these "pure" nukers do more damage than using spear skills, because obviously you're pure INT and the most damaging skills that use INT are the force skills. The spear attack skills would obviously benefit more from STR than INT.

I'm only going cold and light, because then I can level those two faster.

alot of people say 20 spear/20 shield. I say you get 60 spear just to get all the passives. The buff will help you and in my opinion is a better buff then a couple extra blocking percentage (if you decide to go sword/shield later over spear)

NEVER ^_^ thx for the advice

in theory you can do 60 hexual just for the passives alone , not more couse the passives stop at 60 and the rest you can devide amongst all the other forces

EG: 60 hexual 70 fire 70 ligtning = a total of 200 mastery's
leaving you with 100 extra for any future lvl increase
at witch point you can lvl your 2 forces another 50 lvl's or any other comination of 100
there is no real garantie that max lvl will stay on 90 ( ksro max lvl ) so leaving a nice mastery lvl buffer might come in handy

eh my opinion.
either go 60 spear passive

or go 90% magic balance nuker

theres no other way to survive later on.. the only reason i don't get my butt kicked is cuz im wearing full sos armor

Or max out ice and light and spear, use ice imbue get combos both of dem as they are very effective, SS + ghost, light nuke, ice nuke, lion shout if u want. ALL buffs and passive, frost nova wind if interested but cz ur usibng ice imbue not much use. 70,70,70, wen lvl cap is 100 bout 1 year and a bit, u can max it all out to 100, but if lvl caps go further ur ..... lol. But ints have got to have more den 1 force and atleast full set weap mastery otherwise nuking all the time will get boring and not dat gud for PvP unless BIG group war.
