What is the point...According to mmosite there is no new movement speed in 10D and 90 lightning doesn't offer a whole lot. So why does everyone still choose to go 90 Lightning?

Because they're stupid. 80 light/40 cold is MUCH better.

meh. I find 70/50 ice/light or 60 60 better.

Cold is useless until 60 (except for the 1 lvl snow shield for STR chars)
So having 40 or 50 cold is stupid.

Yes, but people like to have lots of speed. If they really do want high light, 80 light/40 cold is much better than 90 light / 30 cold.

Light doesn't offer almost anything at 100 cap lightning for a strength... Rather save my sp and be stronger in pvp. Move speed doesn't increase till 11D from 90 so what is point in maxing it?

I personally think that isn't smart at all, because that brings you to 120/300 Mastery which means you can't get another imbue + skill set up to 100+. I prefer 60 light/ 30 ice, or 70 light/ 30 ice or vice versa, becuase then your mastery is 90/300 or 100/300 which saves. Ex. 90 + pach,90+ fire,70 light,30 ice, or 60 light/ 40 ice These is just my views =D.

@Steph:
You're only using up 280 out of the 300 masteries. It's to one's best advantage to use all of the available masteries.

Agreed, roll higher Cold than Lightning. (IT'S COLD NOT ICE WHY DON'T PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THIS...) On top of Light not being that great no one even knows if we're ever going to break 100 cap in any version. It's probably better to have 80 or 60 Light because that already has a good level on all the skills needed, at least for strength chars. If we break 100 cap ever, switch to Hybrid Bow and go Bow/Light/Cold

Well, I do agree with you on that..BUT if we get Ex. 90 pach, 90 fire, 80 light, 40 cold..that's 300/300 mastery not 280 =P. Also I'm the safe type..so lets say they don't get mastery up..you can't get 100 skills...because you already have 300/300 mastery..not 280 =P. But hey this is my views. xD

I really don't see the problem here.
If 100 cap's there, you just delvl your light and/or ice, till you get your 300/300 again.
Voila problem fixed!

Lol, why waste your time getting curst hearts when 100 cap comes...when you are just wasting valuable time to level up. Duh =P

Well 100 cap is not comming soon. I'd rather be strong now with 300/300 mastery then having 280/300 mastery and waiting for at least a year untill they raise the cap. And it's really not that hard collecting cursed hearts to delevel 20 mastery-lvls. You're gonna spend aloooong time going from 90 to 100. Plenty of time to collect your hearts.

high cold good for one thing for str. 1/1 pvp that's it. and sadly its effectiveness falls short since its only limited to str base builds and any snow shield higher then 25% is not worth it.
job war/grinding not...usually any str. chinese can switch to a shield and run/phamton when u are being atk. by 5+ players and u won't die....without speed u are just a sitting target...even 100% drug won't help u...any 90 light can just phantom and be ahead of u in secs... maybe u are trading and all the sudden 5+ thief show up and start raping ur trade...knowing that u have no chance against all five u can switch to shield+ snow, run around and keeping an eye in ur trade till some help from ur guild/union arrives. without the speed u would get rape in secs and the trade will disappear without any idea where they are going to hide.

at 100 cap (don't know if I will be still playing) i'll most likely go
100 Heuksal 100 fire 80 light 20 cold..even then I'll have a constant 93% moving speed..Honor Buff FTW.

HYB Thats Why, END OF THREAD !!
