Before you start flamming me and calling me a noob, sit back roll a cig, smoke a joint, but pay attention

Me and my friend have started farming our charc, since we are 2 it will go much quicker, luckly I have two computers, where I can leave the farming charc, on, my laptop.

Anyways... to get to the point

My nuker's build would be:

Cold, Light, Force

Pros:

Cold has snow shield, and phys. defense buff
Light has speed for future in jangan cave, and magical attack increase
Force has debuffs, which could defenatly help in PvP, once you get a good snow shield + it increases your MP

Cons:

Bicheon isn't there, not as fun in PvP
More chances of dieing in PvP
Being flammed by noobs that think force nuker sucks...


This is another valid reason:

So far, no 1 has, or very few have tried this out, because, they think its a total failiure?
Lemme put it this way, lets say, you build up a good set +5 FB e.t.c have a good sword and shield, debuff the charc, with all the debuffs in force, then nuke the mofo, that would make the damage of the nuke so much more...

Ofcourse people are going to say: ''well your nukes might do a lot of damage, but the opponent will have more time to deal faster damage!!!''
I understand that, and its a risk to take, thats why there is a Ice wall, usefull against all str char

So yea, please no flamming, its an experimental charc, and I want to see if you have furthur Pros, and Cons, regarding this build.

**If money allows I would get garment + armor set**
Armor against STR
Garment against INT

Thanks a lot for the suggestions

Keep it cool

People have tried this build before.

I think this build sucks. Debuffs can in noway make up for not having bicheon. Not only do you lose the benefit of having kd+stab, you won't have a way to interrupt attacks. But you also don't get the extra block % ratio passive buff. People will be able to regain their hp while your wasting 5 seconds casting nuke after nuke after nuke. Bicheon has some debuffs later on. Of and you forgot about clerics.

Yep, true my mistake, i'll have to see

Yeah,unless JM make a light nuke with low damage but with knockback effect/any defensive effect:D .(Fire do have low damage nuke with fast cast,Flame Bomb)

Great Build. 2-Flaws

1) Cleric = screwed
2) Stun = screwed

I believe at the 110 or future cap there will be a stun force debuff, only speculations though, not sure if its true or not, that would help me a lot, yet, i doubt ill reach 100, i have a full time job, and a life... lol

Ill have to see, i still didnt use any stat points yet and its lv 12 with something like 2500 sp already...

**lots of coffee, gotta love tim hortons!**

Bicheon's debuffs are way less likely to work than force's. Bicheon is very different from force; force heals and debuffs; bicheon attacks and protects. Bicheon debuffs are not likely to happen in a 1vs1 fight, so you definitely shouldn't rely on them. Force on the other hand, has a very high success ratio of debuffing. Anyways if you can successfully debuff with this build, your enemy is nearly doomed (unless it pills it off). This build is very nice, you'd probably have a lot of fun with it, dealing tons of damage on debuffed people. There are some videos at youtube with this build:

To find more simply search for "silkroad force nuker" or "silkoad int force" and such.

Of course, this build has some serious cons, every build has it's cons, but this one's are more like, troublesome, such as:
-A holy spell would make you completely unable to debuff your enemy. Therefore you'd be fighting like if you had only cold/lightning with force healing skills. This would be especial trouble at group pvping. You'd still be effectiv
-If you get knocked down or stunned before debuffing you'd have some serious trouble, unless you are possibly hybrid.
-You are not able to actually disable your opponents (make them stop with skills such as stun/KD/KB) as you lack weapon skills. Debuffs kind of make up for that, as you'd deal tons of damage.
-Blue pills will seriously trouble you unless you have some serious skills at debuffing and predicting.

+1 that just convinced me to go for nuker force thanks a lot!

appreciate your trobules to get me this!

you would do great vs players that are poor "noobs" and can't afford pills(purification)/improper use of them. good example, the above video.

or make a warlock/wizard...

debuff+nukes

I used a friends warlock/wizard, but cleric or even bard is so much better for a wizard.

+ I remember someone from my uni had this build, and he leveled really fast..

The only people that can't afford puri pills in 1vs1 pvp are those who are under lvl 70. So you'll be able to debuff those ppl under lvl 70 and win. Woo. Enjoy getting raped at higher lvls.



Ur joking... Unless someone isn't bicheon, I can't imagine why you would take force unless you are pure str. The healing is only useful if you can afford to tank the hits to heal yourself. Pure int with force would just crumple. You also forget, bicheon has bleed, something force does not. Bleed is the ONLY debuff I believe that can go through holy spell.

Debuff does not in any way make up for wep skills disableing your opponent. The closest it can do is make your opponent lose about 30% dmg. As a pure int though, a crit + ghost spear will mean instant-death. With bowers, this build would die unbelieveably fast. Spam kb every time you attempt to debuff, than a strong bow. The only people that pvp without puri pills are either noobs, under lvl 70, turks, or were also "pvping" you without pots as well to tease you.

I tried making this build before. Honestly, I had fun with it. The only crappy part is that you don't get your "good" debuffs until higher levels, so you can't enjoy it fully at lower levels. It's not the greatest build to PvP with, mainly because it takes so long to get a nuke off and by the time you get attack, the opponent has most of his HP back.

Shock lion shout? I would nuke, shout 3 times, nuke again (ice nuke->fast) then lightning nuke again

Ice nuke is weak sauce though.

*sigh*

If i'm going to be honest with you, i think its a terrible build.
Mainly due to the fact that you have no way of stopping Mobs or players from attacking you. This means that if you are low on health you have no way of regen this.
Pacheon - Now 6Arrow and 5Arrow KB to regen health.
Bicheon - KD + New chain gives Fear, Dull and Stun
Heuksal - KB with Ghost Spear, Stun and Dull.
Force - NOTHING

You have to take into account that you will only recieve good Force debuffs at much higher levels, so for most of your time playing, force will be useless. I would also like to add that your only moves will all be slow hitting. A good bower at cap will be able to take you down without you hitting them once, as they will notice you casting a nuke and immediately KB. As you have no weapon to KB / Stun / KD etc. There will be nothing you can do to stop it.

I think its a rare build because it really isnt very good. While it will probably be the strongest hitting chinese char with Light Mag Damage Buffs + Force Debuff + Fire nuke. You will struggle alot.

If you want high damage but low survival rates. Go wizard imo.

[EDIT: Your absolutely screwed against Holy Word / Spell]

Too many pros and cons
ill try it and in a couple months post another topic, wether its good or not
^^

Dont do it! Get rid of Force and go Heuksal / Bicheon! I think the only way you can get away with having Force, is if you are Pure STR / Hybrid.

Regarding the cons of this build, why we don't consider a bicheon/force/cold build ?

Force = Like all was said before, it s used to debuff, we are OK
Bicheon = Your main dealers skills in PvP. You can last longer in 1v1 and you hit hard thanks to your debuff
Cold = Necessary for an INT build ( snow shield, guard of ice and passive). Moreover your imbue will be Cold

I admit, with cold you will deal less damage as with fire or ice.
But, vs some people, your ice imbue can make them fool (because they are not immune enough).
Moreover I m sure the debuff will be so significant that the lake of mag power of ice will be over...

What do you think ?

Good point. Though you'll still be able to debuff people above level 70, it's just that they'll be able to take your debuffs off with pills. I'm not 100% sure myself, but there must be some ways of fooling your enemy with debuffs and making them waste their pills which have a 15s delay, like put only one debuff, and right when they pill it off, put as many other debuffs as possible and try killing him in the following seconds. I dunno, these might be some ways of getting around pills. You have like 4 (if I recall it correctly) different debuffs with different cooldowns each at high levels, and they can only pill it/them off once each 15s.






I disagree, but oh well, each to it's own.


I agree, but this one has already been debated before, and so far no one as far as I know has tried it. It's definitely a possibility though.

Ah notice force is not utterly only for debuffing, it has curing and healing skills among others.

Now I really wonder what a pure int bich/cold/force can do.
Maybe I will try when I ll be fine with my current 93 pute int s/s

I dont want to quote your whole pots again but i have a few points.

- In PvP as pure int you wont use your heal. You lose more health in the cast time than you do with the buff.
- I mean Light nuke not fire nuke.

But my main points are, you have no way of stopping mobs or your opponents.
You rely on force to defeat your opponents, with holy spell. You are useless.
I know somebody who tried this build and he sold it and hated it. I seriously would rethink it. I think think of a single pro of this build tbh. The only one is high damage as far as i can see, but why not go wizard or pure int spear.

Wiz/cleric >>> China pure int force light ice, or whatever your making this out to be.

Debuff takes quit some times actually. In a pvp, I usually get about 2 kd before they finish attempting to debuff me. I say attempt since usually one or 2 of the debuff will fail.

Phantom away + 1 vigor grain would be more than enough for a pure int. Your health isn't exactly high. Self force heal is the only one that is able to cast fast enough to make a slight helpfulness in pvp, which still fails when compared to healing orbit.

A wiz has kb... this build has nothing until 110 or 120 when the magical stun debuff will make it much better. Enjoy grinding that far and getting pwned.

It's very easy to spam the puri pills. Also, the 15 secs will not really be enough. I have yet to see a pure int nuker kill a pure str with nukes unless the pure str is afk >_>. Nukes hit hard, but in pvp, the dps is too low. With Debuffs You'd prob hit the same as a wiz with LT. You already wasted time putting debuffs while the wiz only has to nuke making your dps already lower than a wiz. Even with the snow 60%, you'd just be taking hits. Eventually, your mp would be too low to cast a nuke after you used ur mp to absorb hits and debuff your opponent.

In a valid 1-1 pvp, The only build I see this one winning against is a pure str nuker...

When we said holy spell will make this build useless. We mean it. A pure int light nuker has 0 chance of killing a pure str with nukes unless he's afk. Your dmg is just too low. Wizs can barely pull it off with LT which is like them having debuffs already. I see glaivers tanking lvl 100 wizards meteors, Your light nukes will prob hit as much as a fire bolt with no LT. Not exactly kill-able.

I still don't see any pros that this build offers that a euro wiz/cleric or some other build can't do better.

I read your whole post, I agree and understand everything you said. The trivial thing about your post is in what I depicted above. As I've said, "I do know euros do these more effectively. But that's no reason for not going for it in my opinion.". This force build would be like a (perhaps somewhat ineffective) mix of warlock, cleric and wizard. I do agree that the euro counterparts do those things way more effectively, but what's wrong in going for this mixed one? I dunno, I think it's possible to enjoy using this char, even though it's not the best of all (no such thing exists anyways). What other reason to play this game do you have besides enjoying it? I say again, go for it, if you understand it's cons and pros as debated in this topic, and still like it.

I read all your posts, and no one will change my mind now, too late.
Thanks for all the information, opinions, likes and dislikes, pros and cons.

My finally word, is = FORCE FTW ^^

lol thanks guys much appreciated

Ill keep you guys updated with how the build goes, Promise!

Heh, I see. Glad to know you decided. I'll be waiting.

Same here, besides what some people said about Force, I'm fully sure that a china build with it can be viable ! By the way, if you are satisfied, I ll maybe consider a bicheon/cold/force hybrid int or full int. We will see

um about disabling your opponent when you got low hp... you could just heal yourself with force :S it ends up being same, both kd or heal is to get hp back up

anyways, remember with higher caps and snow shield, nukes cost a lot of mp, you might have problems using high mp cost skills if you get hit fast by weapon skills, i know force inceases mp, but rarely is your mp at full once fight starts

edit: and pots dont increase either

Really good and true points. Didn't think about that. Ah, notice that force increasing your MP also increases your MP regeneration from pots I suppose. But still it wouldn't be like a godly increase or anything.
