Hi! This is my first guide, so please comment on it! I am level 16 on ECSRO, but I'm posting this anyway.

Key-
Green skill Name- Max It!
Yellow skill Name- Optional.
Red skill Name- Do not get.

Ok: First, lets talk. Pure str glavie is not bad in my eyes. It has high hp, and with my build, level 1-20 farming is made easy! You might kill slow, but later on you will teh pro-e-est!

-Equipment

I find actually garment is perfectly fine. A nice glavie SoX or +3 or higher with high crit will do perfectly!








-Skills-

Pure Str(all points go to strength.)

90 Fire
90 Light
90 Hekusal
30 Cold

iSRO

100 Fire
100 Hekusal
100 Light!


Fire:
Fire Force Series:
The strongest imbues in the game. Also puts a burn on your opponent.

Fire Shield Series:
Reduces the chance of getting burned/slowed from ice/shocked.

Flame Body Series:
Sort of the icing on the cake. Raises Physical Damage! Your all about Physical Damage!

Flame Protection Series:
This raises your Magical Defense significantly.

Fire Wall Series:
This can protect you from nukers, and from debuffs!

Flame Wave Series:
No! This is for INT-based characters. With no int in you, these won't do much damage.

Fire Combustion Series:
With this, you can detect rogues under stealth!

Flame Devil Force Series
This raises Physical Damage, just like Flame Body Series.


Lightning:

Thunder Force Series:
You already have an imbue.

Piercing Force Series:
This raises Magical Attack.

Wind Walk Series:
This increases moving speed!!

Lion Shout Series:
This does Magical Damage, which means this will do hardly any damage.

Concentration Series:
This increases parry ratio.

Thunderbolt Force Series:
This is for INT-based characters. It will do hardly any damage with pure str.

Heaven's Force Series:
This increases parry ratio, just like Concentration Series:

Hekusal:

Annihilating Blade Series:
This doesn't help much. You can get it if you want.

Fanning Spear Series:
This does not work like it should on ECSRO, but MAX ON ISRO! ONLY 1ST,3RD, AND 4TH BOOKS!

Hekusal Spear Series:
This helps do damage for me, but does not stun/dull. You can get if you want.

Soul Departs Force Series:
This does good damage, and stuns! It's great!

Ghost Spear Attack Series:
This does good damage, and book 2/3 can knockback! Use at end of fight for that nice kill!

Chain Spear Attack Series:
This is good in my opinion. Get Tiger, Shura, and Dragon. You may get Pluto and Nachal if you wish.

Flying Dragon Spear Series:
This is your one and only, str nuke! It is first and only ranged pure str move!

Cheolsam Force Series:
Raises HP. What more can I say?

Ice:

Cold Force Series:
You already have an imbue, so skip this.

Frost Guard Series:
This raises Physical Defense! You might need this if you are garment!

Cold Wave Attack Series:
You may get this to slow down your opponent, but I don't get it.

Frost Wall Series:
I really don't know what this does.

Frost Nova Series:
Like cold wave attack series, you may get this to slow or actually freeze your opponent for a little bit, and I get it, but you don't have it.

Snow Storm Series:
This is a no-no. You are not INT-based, so this is not for you!

Snow Shield Series:
Get this! It will protect you from nukers, as much as it can at level 30 cold mastery!

Cold Armor Series:
This raises Physical Defense!

Note:The Total SP Needed, is for ECSRO skills, so look below, to get iSRO skills.

TOTAL SP NEEDED (with optionals and all chain spears): 544,035 SP!
TOTAL SP NEEDED (without optionals and with only Tiger, Shura, and Dragon): 495,492 SP!
TOTAL SP NEEDED FOR 100 CAP (with optionals on iSRO) : 1,517,187 SP!
TOTAL SP NEEDED FOR 100 CAP (without optionals on iSRO) : 1,346,317 SP!

BUMP! PLEASE COMMENT! I WANT TO KNOW HOW I DID AND WHAT YOU THINK!!! PLEASE!

First of all, this is not a dual build. This is a pure STR Glaiver with a useless increase in Attack Rating. Really, pacheon 20 doesn't help at all. I think you could reconsider it, but whatever. And it's not a dual build because you'd actually need to have both weapon skills always at a considerable level doesn't matter what level you are, so basically you'd need to always actually use both weapons.

Few points about your guide:

• You should wear garment, it's the best suited for you as a pure STR.
• Take fire wall, it's very useful if used correctly, while you are under it, you don't receive damage at all if I'm not mistaken, even though it'll generally only last for 1-2 hits, and you cannot move while with it.
• Cold 20 and pacheon 20 are both completely utterly useless.

So, actually the point of pacheon 20 for you is to farm? But you could delevel it after you finish farming. There really is no point in neither 20 cold nor 20 pacheon.

Dont know much about ECSRO but in ISRO this build would be terrible. Bow/Cold 20 is a waste of masteries. Fire was is uber usefull if you use it right.

Thanks for putting time into this guide though, it just needs some refining.

Apart from the fact tht this isn't really a dual build at all, i also think u should rethink the masteries through.

Thanks for the comments. I'll rethink this.

Excellent. Also this build is fine for ISRO so you can take the ECSRO out of the topic name.

Good Job : ]

Then the SP would not be correct, because I have SP set for only ECSRO skills. I'll add ISRO SP Parts too.

There, I edited, and now I'm adding Snow Shield and stuff.

I added full iSRO parts in there! Read it now, and please give me comments!

Its getting very good now. Just wait till 2mrw when some more people log on to give advice :)

Seems more reasonable now, though for iSRO the current cap is 100, so this guide is automatically obsolete for it.

Most common pure STR glaive builds:

• iSRO = 100 cap; 100heuksal/100fire/80lightning/20cold.
• ecSRO = 90 cap with 70 skills; 90heuksal/90fire/60-90lightning/0-60cold . Notice that anything below 60 cold is nearly worthless for ecSRO, so I say either get it to above 60, or don't waste masteries on it.

Another thing I noticed in the guide:

You should definitely max this skill, for it gives a considerable and very useful increase in magical defense, doesn't matter what kind of protection equipment you wear.

Should probably add tht Heuskal Spear is needed for iSRO and Fire wall dosen't just protect from nukers, it prevents debuffs and kb/kd. Guide is looking better now, maybe just add more pictures or sumthing.

Fire magical defense is..extremely needed. Hueskal spear series (windless spear and the next book) is also..extremely needed. Chain spears are more or less useless in PvP and in grinding should be rarely used after 57. Ice wall is the physical version of fire wall.

and..Flying Dragon Spear Series isn't the one and only 'str nuke'..there are pure str bowmen.

edit: fire shield does not protect from stun or dull. Both walls also protect you from knock down and knock back and various debuffs (but not stun).

I mean in hekusal. -.-

I don't know if you've read my last reply, but 100heuksal/100fire/80lightning/20cold is superior to that one in a lot of aspects, because from 80 -> 100 lightning you get pretty much nothing, and 20 cold enables you to use the 20% snow shield which is a invaluable extremely useful skill.
