I have been arguing with my friend about whether light is good.
He has some pretty convincing arguments but I still feel the same way,

I only have 3 reasons on why i would use it.

It's Speed feature
It's Got a nuke Which can hurt a few NPC's/Players
and that power increase.



But i can't think of any others and i think it would be a waste of Sp. Correct me if I'm wrong but i think I'd be better off using on a different skill, maybe ice.

for an int based char light is simply a must

light is your first choice as an int based build no matter what your other masteries will be.

same goes for fire if you are str based.

Light is a MUST for ANY build, because being slow sucks. It provides great speed increase. So light is an essential part of any build (STR or INT)

it sure is a must but when the time comes to only have 2 or 3 masteries then your choice will be a bit harder than it is right now.

i recommend both right now but what i said is when you had to choose one.

Ice is the worst tree in the whole game.

Light is very important.

Lol i used to feel that way about light but you guys have swayed me. :P hehe
My choice used to be ice all the way then fire then light but now by the way you guys put it. my list now looks like

Light
Fire
Ice

My only problem is if i want to 1-1 something and it's splash damage catches something else then i get pawned. :cry:

So should i train light more before i train fire any more? because fires good but by the sounds of things light is the best thing anyone could have wished for. EVER! :P

my list is

fire
light
ice

fire has as many useful skills as light and it has as much or more damage. so i broke the tie by looking at the actually techniques and fire looks better :P

lightning = a must,so is fire. ice.... not so much. i would only lvl mastery to 10 just to get the passive.

Light and Fire are both equal to me, but if i had to choose 1 or the other, i would take Light. Those drugs of typhoon are dam expensive :(

Yeah, I was spending loads on horses for my nuker and then i saw this guy outrunning my horse, which was probably drug of wind. But I know that lightning has Agil increase, so I'm Thinking it'll save some of my cash.

it's drug of typhoon, which increases speed by 50% i think. the 20% speed increase is slower than the red horse.
