I'm just wondering, am I the only person making a 2 mastery build for china? Why is everyone still doing 3? You will either give up on your character due to massive sp, or the $$ required to delvl 100 mastery later on. Why not just stick with 2?

I'm working on Pure int, bich ice (maybe hybrid later). I see topics recommending 3 mastery builds. Wouldn't they be farked later? That's like telling someone to take the old 80 80 80 60.

ksro only has lvl 105... That's still (basically) 3 masteries...

It will take ages to get new caps... Till then with only 2 masteries you'll suck in pvp and jobbing.

Yeah people will be "farked" at later caps. If they ever even hit 100, which I doubt most will. And since it takes so long to level they'll have plenty of time to make some gold and start gather skill re-skilling pots. And I doubt money is much of a problem for any level 100's. It's nigh impossible to hit 100 without buying a prem or a GT of some sort.

I'm giving people advice on what to do now. I can't foresee what will happen in the future so I stay in the here and now and advise people about what I do know. There's no telling what builds will work at the 120 cap, perhaps the bich/ice build will suck. Who knows?

Thats my thought as well. I'd rather be more useful now, then save some cash later.

What would the point of leveling all the way to 100 be if you gimped yourself by using just 2 masteries? If you are too lazy to collect some curst hearts and farm 20% more for the SP you lose, then this isn't the right game for you. And it doesn't cost an unobtainable amount of gold to delevel the skills.

Well, if you look it this way, tickets (lets say skill ticket) gives you 3 hours of double skillpoints.
That makes one day "last" for 27 hours, instead of 24 (SP wise)- for average Silkroad player (I'll just type lol here.)
Not much big of a deal, if you ask me.
Premium, for instant entrance and big deal (and much less disconnects - tested by me multiple times), but still,
its doable to get to cap without any silk wasted.

Yeah it's doable. But I've yet to see it be done. Kudos to whoever does it first.

I see a lot of stupid people being worried about caps to come, just optimize your char for the current cap, and worry about newer caps later. You're gonna take 2 years to grind to lvl100 first anyways

^ that

People are still getting 3 masteries because they could care less what is going to happen next cap raise. You might as well have said "Why are ppl still taking 4 masteries for China???" back when we had 70/80 cap lol. It's not difficult at all to delevel a whole mastery (maybe a little expensive) so I don't think this is an issue at all. Many people had to alter their masteries when 100 cap was introduced and it was never that problematic for the majority. A good 8-man party gets you all the Curst Hearts you need in no time.

Oh, and you will have enough curst hearts to delvl a mastery before you have gained 2 levels. -_-

Like i told you several times Goseki, we dont know when the update will be, and even at 110 cap, 2 masterys will suck as you will only be 220/300.

Live for the moment.

Hey now, why we mocking the 3 mastery build? It's not like were at the level 150 cap yet. Even IF JM or some of these other 3rd party private server hosts raise the cap past 100... without a mastery cap increase, every character will be basically worthless. I don't put alot of worry on the level cap anymore. If it does increase though, I'll make the best of my tri-mastery build until it becomes so weak that there will be no way to play the build. I don't worry too much about the future anyways. However even the slightest level cap increase would be nice for me at this moment (daydream) :shock: "WTF 15 m0ar points added to strength? Z0MG d00d! I has HP 0var 90,000! Go me FTW!" (returns from his dreamworld) Anywho, IF in fact they did do a level AND a mastery cap, I'd probably give up building my blader. Since I'm focusing on EVERY SKILL in my masteries... yes EVERY SKILL! Why you ask? Ever seen a pure strength character hit another pure strength character with a nuke? It's rather effective IMO. But back to the point, my character will require an overall massive SP amount of 2.7 million and some handfulls. I know alot of people HATE bladers due to the slow grind process and VERY slow leveling process. But I <3 bladers for some reason. Is it me or is someone laying on the ground in bleed status?
