How much dmg diff is there between a pure int and an int hybrid? In my server, there are so many 1:2 or pure int with 30 str points added. They say they're undefeatable unless they are up against all sun owners full farmed. From what i've seen, they can certainly hold that brag.

I'm at 60 and debating if I want to start adding str.

My reason for not turning hybrid... at lvl 140 or 150, 20-30 str is about 3-6k of additional hp... thinking about how much dmg that will be dealt out at that lvl... doesn't seem much. At lvl 70, I get like an additional 1k hp from 20-30 str points. So is the dmg trade-off worth it?

I love the high numbers, of course dying alot does get annoying, but I usually only die if i walk into a mob and than lag out >_>. So any ideas? Comments?

With the 90 cap coming, eventually I'll be only using light and sword maxed out. So no ice... How will that go? Pure int and Hybrid... Extra hp... but by then sword will have stun... Does anyone know a forum where I can ask some kSRO ppl about this and see how the pure int builds are doing at higher lvl caps?

At crossroads here....

stay pure as a swordsman and you NEED ice.
max light ice and ur sword weaponry.

Hmm...about the later caps...I've heard that STR builds will dominate because of their insane amount of HP (glaivers will be able to have 30k at 90 and 40k HP at 100 cap). So I suppose going hybrid is not a bad idea. If you're s/s go 1:7 so level up to 70 with all int points then from 70-80 put STR. For 90 cap go 90 bich/light/ice and 30 fire. At 100 cap go 100 bich/light/cold. You'll have plenty of MP for snow and chain status effects will enhance your nuke and KD/stab damage. Then you'll have plenty of HP with snow to tank for sure.

From what I can tell, naked HP at level 140 is about 90K for full STR, and 25K for full INT. Since HP is linear with regards to STR points, each point of STR will add a certain % to your HP. At level 140, a pure INT will have 159 STR, and each point of STR will add about 156.8 HP (or about 1/159=0.6%). 30 points of STR will (at level 140) add about 18% HP to your total, while reducing your mag balance by 7%. Tests would need to be performed to see how that translates into total damage output (since you also deal physical damage, and because absorption and defense are still subtracted from this total damage). On a Mangyang you will see a linear damage result to your magical balance; on a heavily protected opponent your damage will be a lot lower.

The question remains how the damage will scale with regards to HP. It has been shown that as the level cap rises, it becomes increasingly more difficult to kill a full STR using only nukes, so unless Joymax will increase the damage proportionally, performing a 1vs1 kill on a full STR will become problematic, and full INT or hybrid won't make a lot of difference in that regard.

For the cheering full STR users: check how much magical balance you'll have at the 140 cap, and wonder how much damage you'll be doing. Physical balance is always 50%+, but magical balance drops enormously. That imbue may not do you much good in the future, and Euro 2H/cleric will wipe the floor with you even more than they already do.

lol, just make it shortly, STR got more HP and have an high phy balance and you got a nice crit. damage.

hybrid is good to, have a nice phy balance and mag balance, but it hasn't a good crit of a str
