I've been thinking about creating a "fun build".. for when I get bored grinding with my main char, but still wanna make money etc.

I got inspired by this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1iSQrENnUU

It basically comes down to this build:
---
Stat: Pure int, or 80+ magical balance
Weapons: bow+spear

Fire - max -
- imbue
- fire nukes
[optional] Fire Shield Series / Fire Protection Series /Flame Devil Force Series (Passive)

Lightning - max
- mag damage+ buff
- mov speed+ buff
- ligthning nukes
[optional] Lion Shout Series / Concentration Series /Heaven?s Force Series (Passive)

Bow - 60 or 69 -
- arrow combo
- white+blue hawk
- +attack range
- explosion arrow (lvl 69 = 350% *drools*
- Mind Concentration Series (Passive)
[optional] all the other pacheon skills

Spear - 60 or 63 -
- soul spear
- ghost spear
- flying dragon
- passive
[optional] the chains, need mastery 69 for this though

Note: the optional skills are for when I'm farming a little extra.. for when I want to stay at a certain lvl, to make money.
---

Idea: the bow has extra range, and aside from that the extra attack rating will help much till I used much money on alchemy at higher lvls. Switching to spear when the opponent get's into range will alow me to do more damage, and have stun+knockback as defensive skills.
I choose spear instead of s+s because the passive also helps out when I equip a bow.

Downsides:
Compared to a 'normal' nukers build {90fire/90light/60heuksel/60cold} I'll miss the extra physical defense from the buff+passive, and I won't have the nice aoe nuke that can be used as a finish-off after the 3rd book of fire.

However, I can live with this.. and the ability to switch to bow in pvp/pve just seems pleasant. Don't forget this is a 'fun'-build, and is not meant to dominate in pvp.. just to have fun with.


Any ideas or comment?

/Edit.. I might get rid of fire, and use cold instead
/Edit2.. I might get only 70 lightning, to get both pacheon and heuksel to 70. This will mean I will do less damage with the lightning nuke+shout, but with all the other skills that I can use it might be worth-it. If I do this I'll prolly drop my magic balance to 85-90%.

u sure can make dat char but its a wast of valuble time

The bow skills will be helpful but its more helpful with like ice or sword. So its a waste of time. But maybe its a fun build, i dont know.
And to eazer; Im a pure str bow and i dont fink dat dere is a person hu could beat me hu is a same lvl ^^
(wanna bet ?)
I fink i can beat you.

you need to get a full sosun kit too!

wow, that was some über tanking

Yah i thought of that too. No way he is pure int. : /

Where is the fun part?

Well.. I've been thinking. The main reason I log-out sro everytime is because I just have had enough of killing the same mob, or doing the same attacks. So I thought.. why not play another char everytime I feel like stoppingt, so I can still make money and have fun through sro.

And yeah waste of time.. I'm not sacrifising time I'd normally play with my m ain char. I thought of making it a character that also has pvp pottentional, but: every build you're not willing to put much time and effort in will lack in pvp. The reason that I will make this char is to have fun PvE, and make a little extra money by doing that

Why pure int?
Because they deal the most damage, and are less depended on weapons. A str char will have to max out both weapon mastery's.. where an int only needs enough to get certain skills.

Why spear+bow
Because they're the only weapons masteries that can be used together. When I use a spear I have the attack rating from pacheon, when I use a bow I'll have the extra hp from heuksel. Aside from that they also deal the most damage.

Fire or Cold
I'm still thinking. Cold looks much better, and is more different from my main, but fire deals the most damage.

In the end.. what is the use of this char
An extra storage for elements, and maybe I'll take 17 force so I can res those who farm at bandit archers
It is not the end-result of this char that counts, but the road to it.


Maybe I'll just not make this char at all, but is was just an idea that popped up in my head


@Alfred amazing huh.. could stop looking at it
