i disagree, every time im up against a wizard i just get the fire wall ready he nukes me and before the second nuke my nuke kills him and if he has life control or w/e it is on i kill him using a lion shout
and im a sword and shield user and if he's close i kd and stab (he probably dies here but if not) a lion shout should finish him off
every build has its advantages and dis-advantages just use what ever makes u feel better that way u will never have to do another character... there is nothing such as suck @$$ build each build owns when fighting some builds and can get owned when fighting others
i remember a wise friend of mine saying u cant get everything in silkroad sacrifices have to be made in order to get other things
SRO is a group oriented playing environment see what builds your friends have and choose one that will make them stronger when all together
or just see if you want to lvl up fast go pure int and just pick either of s/s or spear but ull die fast as well
go pure str and ull reach lvl 90 in about a year or something if you dont get power leveled including getting fully farmed but in pvp and jobs u dont die fast
SORRY FOR THE OFF TOPIC DISCUSSION BUT I BELIEVE THIS MIGHT BE USEFUL
