Okay, so atm im level 59 and almost pure int. From 56 to 59 i've been putting STR. First i was Sword, but now im Spear. Also, my original plan was to have 90 bicheon, 90 fire, 90 ice and 30 light.

My masteries atm:

Heuksal 59
Bicheon 55 (De-leveling it soon)
Fire 59
Ice 59
Light 59

I have all nukes maxed, heuksal i have Ghost spear and Soul Spear.
Anyway, i cant really decide what to do. I am thinking 90 heuksal, 90 fire, 60 light, 60 ice, and go 2 str and 1 int for the rest of the way. It would give me 10487HP and 17771MP naked, 78% Mag balance.

Or, i was thinking go 2 int 1 str the rest of the way and have 90 heuksal, 90 ice, 90 light and 30 fire. That would give 8681HP and 19577MP naked, 86% Mag balance.

So... What do you think?

Oh, heres my rev6: http://www.rev6.com/player.asp?id=1766004
I will probably switch to Garment at 69+, dunno yet.

Well, as you must already know, both would probably be strong builds. The thing is that 100 cap is probably pretty close, and with the 78% mag balance 90/90/60/60, you'd probably have problems choosing a set of masteries. I assume you probably know the cons and pros of those builds, I don't really know why you want help, as the final decision will be yours and you should choose the one that is the more fun to you. Anyways, the more int you have the more damage you'll deal, the more str you have the more you'll survive and the less you'll rely on snow shield (and the lower the snow shield you'll be able to support). With these facts in mind you can easily know the difference and pros/cons of those builds.

Anyways, I think that the 78% mag balance build is more unique, and in the end it'd maybe be my choice only because of that (and because it has fire, and I <3 fire). Also, the 86% mag balance build is more certain to work, you know? It's almost 100% sure that it'll be strong, and also you'll easily be able to maintain it at higher caps. As I've said, in the end the decision is yours. Good luck with it.

it was totally unnecessary to post character on rev6 but nice equipement anyway :p

As far as the build goes, i would got for the 78% mag balence if you want to pvp a lot and the 86% if u want to level more quickly

In the end i think they would both perform similarly, but i think the extra hp would make the one slightly better at pvp

With the 78% build i'd probably have 30 ice at 100 as i'd keep doing 2 str 1 int. With the 86% i'd just drop fire all together and keep going 2 int 1 str. The 30 ice would give me a little amount of phy defence, and the 25% snow shield would be plenty as i would have a large amount of HP and less MP, but thats 100 cap, im just concentrating on 90 cap atm, if i ever get there! lol

I do like to pvp, and i dont think grinding would be a problem as i've pretty much always had nice weapons, though they are cheap at lower levels, so who knows what i will have at 90, plus i use Nukes and Phy attacks so the extra str isnt a problem.

I see, with the 78% build, adding 2str:1int in the end you'd be at like balance ~ 75% (?). With 25% snow shield you'd prolly do good.

Now, after knowing what I said above and that you are more concentrated in 90 cap, well, I must say that your decision is going to be probably even harder. Unless, well, actually, in general, at pretty much most levels, the 78% mag balance build is probably going to be stronger at PvP (maybe even without good equipment). Knowing that, if you like the idea of that hybrid with fire and want to do better at pvp, your best shot would be the 78% mag balance build, though I think you should try to achieve it sooner by putting all STR for some levels, until you get to 78% mag balance asap. With 78% mag balance and using spear, your nukes are going to deal acceptable damage, maybe even useful in pvp, - stun, nuke then ghost spear - I actually think now that you should try the 78% mag balance build. One final question that would probably solve this matter as both builds are similar and very strong: What do you prefer, fire or lightning? With the answer I think you can understand where I'm trying to get. In the end, choose the one that you think you'll like the most, ignore all the opinions I've said so far and choose the one that you think you'll enjoy the most. There, that's the perfect build for you.

Well, I'm not sure if I really helped. Just try to choose the build that you prefer, not the one that we/other people prefer. Use the build you feel like using.
