im ganna have 80 fire,80 pacheon,80?, and 50 or 60 light
Im not sure if i should go with 80 cold or 80 force
cold gives me good defence but force hits higher and if you hit higher you wont need as much defence so im kinda leaning towards force can u help me decide plzzz?

well my build is 80 pacheon , 80 fire . 60 light and 60 cold. force is really worth getting but the only reason i've got cold to 60 is for the increased phys def which is 42 for the passive and 47 for the buff. snow shield should be only the 20% book because any higher will leave you with no mp. my build is really in prepartion for the 90 cap. take force if you want but if you decide to take it you MUST take to lvl 80 because othwerwise its a waste of sp without vital spot zero.

I'm assuming you're a pure str charachter. If you go cold for the defense, you could keep it at 60; if you go force, you can still keep it at 60 (for the decay debuff) but it is best if you max it out. Simply put, the difference between the two masteries:

Force is excellent offensively (debuff) and defensively (self healing, impotent debuff) againts a single opponent, plus you can heal and ress other players.

Cold is excellent defensively (buff, snow shield) and best seen against multiple opponents. You cant max snow shield for a pure str, unless you use it as a desperate defense tactic :/ (cause you run out of mp easily).

If you want to save sp, go cold (since you dont have to max it). If you like healing and pvping single targets, force would probably be more suited for your playing style.

You can live without ice defense. Just make sure you have a good garm set and focus by pimping the set first on the phy.defence of it.

im lvl 66 force bow.

66 force right now.
with the lvl 60 vital spot that causes decay, i hit about 800 damage more on people. It lasts for 30 seconds.

once i get lvl 70 vital spot and lvl 80, itll be really nice.

don't get force if you're not gonna take it to 80, its completely pointless.
and force has an MP passive..more room for snow shield :wink:
