[Guide] BlackStar's guide to owning with a pure INT

bicheon/light/cold is a build that's better in 1vs1 got some defensive skills to save you when your hp gets low.

fire/light/cold has higher dmg (without status) because of the firenukes and imbue. but it's much worse in 1vs1. But in groupwar you will shine.
Since you'll have other ppl protecting you and all you have to worry about is keep nuking everyone.

So you gotta pick: either a more allrounder which does good in 1vs1 too (L/C/B).. or a build for groupwar only (F/L/C).


just like victorinoloyola I advise light/cold/bicheon to most ppl.. but some don't wanna give up the fire-tree so they take fire/light/cold which is also nice.. just not for 1vs1




to answer your question Tomz about bleed and devision:

dunno the numbers.. i'll give you some of mine... so you can see how much it increases. though i'm just lvl 85 now.. and still working on both gear and especially weapon.. so in no way is this the max a pure INT sword nuker can get. Also I have a 7 gap.. but i'll look when i'm ingame..
from my head it's something like:

8k normal - 10k with bleed and like 12k with devision but i'll try it out... that's on about a same lvl str guy.

the thing with fire nukers is that they are group-fight based.. so you will have someone else to put bleed and devision on somebody.. and then you'll see some real high numbers cause your fire nuke will do insane dmg then =)

thanks for the help Blackstar :) i have another question for you though, does physical attack power, critical and physical reinforce % on weapons help you alot if you are bicheon/cold/lightning?

they do, physical attack power, critical and physical reinforce % on weapons help you alot when you do phy attack like chains and kd/stb..but doesn't add damage when you do magical attack. Critical is only for physical attack and not for magic attack like nukes. you will never see a nuke with a critical+ damage. ;)

yea i know that nukes dont crit :p but i was wondering if a crit would do much more damage since most of the damage is coming from your imbues and not physical attack power

the guide is really good, you could go deeper into the sort of alchemy you want to put on all your gear and equipment with different type of nukers though :) also maybe add what type of nuker shines out in what type of combat ? :)

You always post if you report anybody, thats more spamming than all..

I report around 15 ppl / day, do I post it? NO, because nobody cares about it!

b2t.:.:...:
This nuker guide is nice, but I think there are some parts missing ;)

Dunno if it's already there, but you should post how many SPs are required for which build :)

example: 10 skillpoints for lightning 1-90

yeah true.. so your crit as INT ain't much higher.. but it's still a bit higher.. so I try to get at least crit 8 at my weapon.. even though i'm pure INT.

It's better if people knew that they were reported. this way, they will be careful next times.

Nice guide.. I got an question

I'm lvl 72 atm my mastery's are lvl 72 fire (farmed till 67) lvl 66 light - cold 50 bich 45.. And Im full int with armor

I know i'm bad farmed.

But my question is how should I build the char without delvling anything (just bcoz I havent got the gold for it).. I was thinking of fire 90 light 90 cold 70 bich 50.

Plz help me out ;)

hmm well at lvl 80+ (when you will need the mastery space) the gold to delvl like 50 lvl's ain't that much.

So I advice fire/light/cold 90 for you and delvl bicheon

the thing is.. that lvl 45 bicheon skills are pretty usuless against lvl 90
so all those half maxed mastery's won't work very good imo.. unless you are a hybrid INT.

you need light maxed that's for sure.. and you need cold lvl 60.. (even if you're hybrid)

and if you don't wanna delvl your fire you will take that 90 too

so fire90/light90/cold 60 and then you got 60 mastery spots left which you can place where you want.

I advise put 30 extra in cold to make cold 90 and bring bicheon down to lvl 30
or a 80 cold and then 40 bicheon some combo like that would work too i think.

imo, i still suggest you take 90 bicheon/light/cold, 30 whatever you want :)
but as i can see in your build now thats really a bad farmed..you really have to choose what build u gonna be & choose what to dlvl.. gold isn't that much problem when you're killing lvl 76+ mobs (D9 drops & D9 tabs has high price in any server) i can make easy money just by making D9 stones esp str/int challenge.

Alright, I am building a full int nuker, spear, armor. I am thinking 90 fire, 90 lightning, 90 cold, 30 spear. Or 90 Fire, 90 Lightning, 60 Cold, 60 Spear... Any thoughts as to what would be the best build for me?

depends on if you are pure or not. Personally I like cold over extra hp.
lvl 60 spear skills are not gonna do much dmg.. so only the passive will help you.
so in the end.. it's better to get cold higher lvl (at least lvl 80) then take a few extra lvl's of heuksal.
It's my personaly opionion though.. some like the builds where you take 2 mastery at lvl 60. I never tried it or fought one who was strong... and in theory I think 3 maxed mastery is stronger.. especially for a pure INT.
