ok nuker definition
a player that nukes so its a nuker
you would wanna go all int

Armour and Weapons
you wanna have a set of protector and garm and mabe armor in cave.
weapons before lvl 30 bow afterwards spear for pvp and sword and shield for lvling since you die less but if your uber poor buy only a spear.

get ATLEAST 5k sp to aid yourself at lvl 16 not necessarily with a soX bow

imbue: i chose thunder imbue is to me the most decent imbue for nukers
mainly of you chose fire but it is not very worth geting fire maxed just for imbue



SKILLS TO ADD
Thunder

Imbue MUST




total sp10359
this will be your main imbue
you get thunder because its multi attack much more efficient.

Piercing force MUST




total sp needed 3563
this main not seem very important in beginning but by 5X and 6X you will feel how much difference it is to use it or without

Wind walk MUST




you wanna max these cause you will rely on hit and run attacks plus with maxed these its fun chasing horses one other reason you should be int.

Lionshout optional




these are fast finish offs but not used all the time but of course if you have the sp its worth geting

Thunderbolts MUST


Without these two you aint no nuker.these are what you lvl, pvp,show off,and etc with these are my friends NUKES
_____________________________________________________________
Fire

fire waves MUST



OR
cold
cold phys buff
MUST




these are whot makes the glaive user damage lower its very effective and useful

cold nukes optional


these are cold nukes good if ur too lazy geting the fire ones

cold phys passive MUST

its good to get just like the buff

_____________________________________________________________
Heuksal

Heuksal spears optional


you wanna max these cuz they high damage good against blades

Soulspear highly recommended




these are what stuns ur enemy blade vs u these are good and very effective.

Chain spear attack highly recommended



they have 20 br shield so what with imbue these will deal as much damage as glaive using soulspear the last two anyways.

Cheolsam arms MUST

these are what makes a nuker different from a int bow more hp....

faq
why not fire imbue? thunder imbue will attract 2 many mobs and kill u
1: i use thunder imbue and have never died of it.
2: your nukes are multiple targets anyways makes no difference.
3: why do you think fire glaive lvls slower?
because they cant get alot of monster multiple attacking it at the same time.

also if you didnt know.

fire imbue does hit more but less stable,
while thunder imbue is more stable and if
reduce parry it will hit more than fire imbue counting the fact that mobs do not carry universals

hope this will answer most your questions about nuker ok im going sleep now bb ppl

LIGHT
First you DO NOT want light as primary imbue. As a full int you have very low HP. The last thing you want is to be attracting multiple mobs. Using light as imbue can attract up to 3 mobs at a time. Fine as secondary imbue.

FIRE
This should be primary imbue. Highest damage of all imbues. Does not attract multiple mobs. Fire protection is an optional skill. You already have good magic defense as an int build but can you ever really have too much protection.

HEUKSAL
Heuksal spear series is a waste of SP. As a nuke you don't want to do a lot of hand to hand. Get lvl 1 of book 1 until you get to soul spear than dump it. ADD ghost spear series. When imbued an awesome skill when you do get ganked.

on your "what to hunt" wouldn't it be more benificial to grind on the taoist and magicians since they magical dmg, and as a nuker you have high mag. resistance? Isn't the spawn higher and closer? Plus you'll have less chance of dying if you fight a mob of taoist and magicians other then being mobbed by hyeoncheongs. Its pretty good, but i'd rather take the fire imbue, and ghost spear, and not taking the heuksal spear series. Overall : 3

its good...thumbs up...but bein a nuker you dont need weapon skills do you..?
cause im goin toO be a nuker myself...& im not even goin toO think about havin weapon skils...
but isit a advantage of havin some weapon skills...?

lol i take it you havn't used lightning imbue in the cave yet eh.




43-46 bunwangs.. white spiders arnt concentrated enough
47-52 mujigis.. low LOW hp. easy to kill. doing shades at 48 is ridiculous, would take 2 + nukes to kill them
53-55 shades.. quest and should be easy to kill
56-59 penon fighters... good concentration.. although everyone is leveling wolf there.

lol i did this and i leveled every 1-2 days on double xp.

yes, esp when you get some unwanted mobs, soul spear + ghost spear + imbue is a fast killer up close

I hate shades... you can't use your AOE efficiently.
Nuker is definitely not at it's best when it has to 2-nuke some mob. Too slow, too much mp used.
I would go for Penon at 52 since they are easy kills even at this lvl.
And I agree with Ujigis from 47 to 52, one of the best mobs in this game, fast kill, low attack speed

U do high damage with weapon skills... i would take at
least ghost spear - petal, cauz it works as fast as a
lion shout, do more damage and use less mana.

I have ghost spear - prince and it is a must if ur goin to
use spear all the time like me. When u get gangbanged
it can really save ur life with the knockbacks.

thanks for the info...i'll keep that in mind...

except penons at 52 are 2 nuke or nuke + 2 shouts
especailly wiht sword and shield. which IMO, is too slow.
for shades you just have to find an area with a good spawn rate.

Penon at 52 are :

Fire nuke1 on first
Fire nuke2 on second, penetrate on first
Lightning nuke 1 on second to finish both

If another mob comes, lightning book2 is ready
If you need a little more dmg, lion shout.

For Lightning / cold nukers you have to use cold book2 as first attack then lightning and lions to finish.
I'm sword/shield, and I started Penon at 53 (yes I stayed a little more on my dear ujigis). No problem at all, killing speed is nice. Except when some 64+ nukers come and kills everything ^^

hmmmm this guide is based on my own opinion so maybe you may think its incorrect but its my opinion.

on your "what to hunt" wouldn't it be more benificial to grind on the taoist and magicians since they magical dmg, and as a nuker you have high mag. resistance? Isn't the spawn higher and closer?

Its pretty good, but i'd rather take the fire imbue, and ghost spear, and not taking the heuksal spear series. Overall : 3

hmmm at that time since ur phys defense through balance isnt too low so its better becuz magicians aren't concentrated
the ghost spear series isnt much use since its multiple attack with thunder imbue and nuke all ur moves are multi attack you only use ur spear skills on bladers

RaiKiRii no i havent but you havent either

Irukandji but in mob killing heuksal moves are not effective

Vintar ujigi being best mob is ur personal opinion

BlindSpear true but you wouldnt wanna use spear mvoes with anything but thing with shields

and anything about fire imbue ive never heard about that type of nuker build if you really insist on telling ppl about fire imbue nuker please do a guide on ur own

56-59 would be better with Planars, or Sonars. Planars have magic damage, so you take less damage, and they are higher level.

exactly what i put down

o.O

planars and sonars do MORE dmg to a armor wearing int.. at least to me

Armor, probably, but not Garment. A lot of people have both sets, so it really depends.

RaiKiRii
if you think my guide is so useless please make your own.

Well your going to end up having a quest from them so might as well grind on them.

multi-attack or not, i believe ghost spear does decent, quick dmg. Enough so that it can be used. imbue+ss+gs is very good before you even get your nukes, so you might as well keep ghost right? Only blader? what about glavies?

anyway, like you said, its only opinion

lemme get out some of my opinions as well.

- fire imbue bets lightning imbue, less aggro more dmg more mp efficient
- drop the weapon skills unless u want knockdown or combos, but waste of mastery points when you can get more force skills
- penon's and shades r both fine, but I prefer shades because:

1. they dunt move, so with range nukes u just find a good spot stand there n shoot
2. they do magical dmg, I can easily tank a giant shade at 48 taing like 20+ dmg in garments
3. shades r lower lvl so you can one hit them earlier with 52 weapon

- only reason to get weapon skills is for passive, hp bonus or block ratio increase
- always stick to grinding on magical based mobs... easier on ur pots, and wear garments for ultimate defense
- avoid phy mobs as best as you can because a giant can crit you for over 2.2k and kill you in one hit. (Mujijis)
- always have 2 sets of armor (garm/armor), I used prot until lvl 50+ and then switched to armor for yeti's later on.
- from 40-60 i would grind on :

1. Maongs
2. Bunwangs
3. Mujijis
4. Ishades/Hashades
5. Sonars
6. Yetis

**the other monsters you have to kill for quests I did not include here

solid build for levelling very fast, but piss poor for pvp. that is not a complete build by any means. even for powerlevelling, youll want to go almost strictly spear/light, but add parry passive/buff to the list as you can afford it.

as mentioned, you want ghost spear petal... nuke+petal will be your primary killing method on melee mobs. prior to level 30, use soul spear move, ghost petal, and wolfbite to kill mobs.

once you settle down on levelling, i suggest sword/shield and protector for pvp... key to pure int pvp in not being 1shotted, that combination prevents 1shots from both str and int builds.

the lightning and spear tree is good enough to powerlevel until you find a nice spot to farm SP. the ideal farming spot is nachals at level 69. others might be ujigis or ishades...

i suggest getting 10 bow for the white hawk and passive, attack rating helps a lot because nukes have a wide damage range with a large multiplier.

i would suggest the following to make a very solid nuker at level 70:
Light:67
Imbue:none
Everything else maxxed to level 67

Ice: level 60
pdef buff to level 60.
level 1 frost nova book 1, and level 1 book 2
pdef passive level 6

fire: level 70
imbue: max
magic defense buff: max
fire shield status effect buff: max
fire nuke book 1: level 1
fire nuke book 2: max
fire nuke book 3: optional

spear: 63
hp passive: level 6
soul spear: level 58 for soul spear soul
ghost spear: level 63 for mars
(other skills for having fun blowing away nubs like yuhon and jade break )

sword: 20
block passive: 2
knockdown/stab level 1 (prevent those annoying blade ksers

bow:10
hawk and passive

wearing garment should not be a problem until the caves levelling with spear. youll save plenty on MP potions, and if/when you die to mobs, it will be from lag (which wearing armor wont help), or you tanked too many mobs and should have just run (which you should do with armor also, because it gives you a false sense of security, the mobs will still kill you). i suggest garment from 1-60, protector from 61-65, garment from 66-70(72). during the times youre wearing protector, use sword shield as well.

what to hunt? least botted mobs x_X. just do quests til level 40 or so, you wont really have time to hunt your own mobs outside of that if you do the quests at 1:1 mastery:level, after that... then bunwangs>ujigi>ishade/hashade>planars/sonars>yetis... enter caves at 62, postponing the quest wont kill you, and yetis are more efficient. [i did big white spiders from 54>59 and dont regret it, they die easy, dont scratch you, and arent botted to hell. this was before sawns were incresed in korakoram... youll need to experiment.

just a few tips i had from making my nuker... youll need to farm heavy SP, so plan in advance when youll do it.

if you are not planning to get blue hawk, don't get the hawk at all. Your build take a lot of sp and IMO has some skills you don't really need.

hmmmmm getting white hawk lvl 1 u sound like a player who hasnt made 3X yet

* double post sry*

...

why on earth would u hunt hyeong's and not taoists/magicians

heyongs are phy mobs. toists are mag. and int with garm at lvl 29~30 can actually tank a few taoists/magicians

and why lightning imbue when fire does so much more? it can add 1200+ to ur nukes i think.

^_^

nah there hardly any taoist and magicians together u'lll fight earth ghosts most the time

there are.

at the dead end in the ravine. its like.. the dead end of a spiral.

maybe make no difference it takes 3 hrs to get from 30- 33

already did, and i never said it was useless. what good is anyone who cant take critique from others on their own creations?

how can u make the scorpion quest in 3 hours? let alone go from 30 to 32?
