people,why use light buffs for pure fire glavie when there..

[cavin12629]

when there is ice,i just dont understand light buffs include concentration,grasswalk and passive most of which increase speed and if i am correct the speed it increases is movement speed not attack speed when ice will give you defense buffs i am not sure about names but its 2nd,skill before passive and passive so people please give me a good reason to
choose light buffs over ice??????

[Peety]

because str has tons of phy def already...mana shield isnt really good for str builds, and most of the ice skills can be pilled out of...

lightning increases parry, running speed, and magical attack (whenever you use an imbue).

[Pink-Pantha]

Because when your a glaiver(tanker) don't need more def... you need to be quick and agile.

[cavin12629]

so is concentration to increase imbues's effect?
if i do choose light over ice the skills i need is grasswalk,concentration and passive right?or do i need anything else?

one more thing is the throwing spear/glavie skill needed or just a waste,because i am not really into pvp and when i am killing high lvl monsters i dont want a bunch of them attacking me right?

piercing force sieries - mag dmg.
grass walk - speed
concentration - parry
heavens force (passive) - parry
+you can take lion shout if u wanne be extreme and have the sp but its optional

and yes flying series in the heuks. are usefull as opening move to agro the mob so you dont have to chase him all the way

There's two arguments on this one - take light, and be a faster, more agile tank, or take cold, and be a slower, better defended tank.

Either way, you're still a tank.

I'd say you'll spend the majority of your time running from mob to mob to kill stuff, so take the speed bonus. You'll be fine through the 100 cap with heuksal/fire/light trees. At that point you'll have to start thinking about keeping speed, or delvling for more fire.

And definitely get the spear toss moves - you'll have 3 books of those eventually. They bring the mobs to you and speed grinding up a lot.

GL, happy grinding.
