please try to argue...

if for spear...you think hybrid is better...please give the ratio (7:1 8:1 9:1 5:1 .....)

bicheon is the best for pure int. heuksal is the best for hybrid.

and just so u know with lightning you will do more damage overall.

For Pure Int, I'd go with s/s. Reasons why:

Pure int 100 Fire, 100 Cold, 100 Bicheon.
Pros:
Can wield a shield with your weapon:
-Extra defense from wielding the shield
-Has a chance to block attacks (bicheon has skills [Mountain Shield and Giant Shield] and a passive to increase this).
-Has a skill to increase physical defense for 15 secs: Castle Shield, Ironwall Shield, and Iron Castle Shield Protection.

You have interruptions:
-Can knock down opponents and while they can't attack you, you can attack them, and also have a chance to pot back your HP/MP to 100%.

You have a wide variety of AoE (area of effect) nukes at your disposal [4 total]:
-Two from Cold Mastery: Ice Rain and Multi Shot.
-Two from Fire Mastery: Flame Wave-Wide, and Flame Wave-Disintegrate.

You have more defense from your buffs and defense from Fire and Cold Masteries:
-You have Earth Fire Protection (@ Lv12 it adds +277 magical defense)
-You have Might Guard of Ice (@ Lv15 it adds +158 physical defense)
-You have Cold Armor (passive) (@ Lv10 it adds +178 physical defense)
*total of +336 physical defense*

You have other useful buffs/skills from Fire and Cold Masteries:
-You have Fire Wall (magical absorption)
-You have Iceberg Wall (physical absorption)
-You have Snow shield (transfers a certain % of damage into your MP pool)
-You have Fire Shield Emperor (helps with immunity)
-You have Flame Body Trial (increases physical damage)
-You have the Combustion skills (to see invisible or stealth euros)

Cons:
Loss of mobility:
-You no longer have grass walk or phantom walk (you have to rely on speed pots or a bard for more mobility).

Loss of other skills:
-Loss of the Piercing series (increases magical damage)
-Loss of Lion shouts (good quick magical damage for grinding)
-Loss of Concentration series and passive (lose 72 Parry increase)
-Loss of thunderbolts (nukes): They have a good constant range for damage, whereas fire nukes can jump in range of damage.

very nice reply thx scarlett...if someone could do this with the full int heuksal option it'd be nice ^^

Sure

wowww nice ^^

for spear build its better to go hybrid imo(85-90% magical balance)

this is bcoz you spear already has higher mag and phy dmg than sword so along with fire buffs you should kill alot faster in pvp
