Should I go for a PvP build?
So in future events, I'm confident we'll get another full SP reset scroll and I was thinking of switching my current skill build to a PvP one. What I have in mind is to completely disregard Arcane's Aim, since you can't use it in PvP and put the points in something else. I don't LHC or Stronghold unless I'm asked by someone. My bossing is kept to a bare minimum, ToT bosses and CWKPQ bosses are the ones I fight the most. I don't do Zak, HT or anything like that. Do you think I should do this or should I stick with what I have and keep Arcane's Aim? Also, if I do take on the PvP build, should I swap max Ice Demon for max Thunder Spear. My 11 TS does significantly more damage than ID in PvP.

My best bet is to max out Big Bang instead; not only can you use it for PvP but you can also use it efficiently outside of it as well. Because the event with PvP is over, more and more people are disappearing by an amount and thus can possibly hinder your chances of PvP.
How often do you use Ice Demon and TS overall in generall btw?[/quote]
Only the noobs are leaving. There has been a regular community of PvPers before the event and they have stayed after it ended. In fact, the event may have gotten us some more regular players. If we're talking about outside PvP though, Arcane's Aim will help tremendously, much more than max BB. At max level, AA ignores 20% of enemy defense and I can stack damage increase, up to 40% increase if I keep attacking a single monster continuously.
I rarely use Ice Demon because the hit box for it is trash. It's a single straight line, a slight change in elevation and it'll miss. The range of how far it goes is also fairly short. As for TS, I've started using it more often. It's not as spammable as Chain Lightning or Thunderbolt, but it hits a lot harder. I use it when someone's low on HP and my Ice Stike/Glacier Chain are on cool down.

[quote=TinCan]I love TS its my main move always, but I just ignored booster(and Seal) since your dying any way might as well just keep on recasting it, as for seal I much rather cast a thunder spear and teleport than seal them(along with Ua Skill).[/quote]
Well, Booster and Seal are a mandatory thing for me. It's between Ice Demon and Thunder Spear. I know definitely that TS will be stronger, but the casting time is also much longer, leaving me vulnerable to attack. Also, Ice Demon leaves DoT damage, which gives the possibility of me getting a kill even after I died. But then again, I hardly use it....
[quote=blazi4ever]That depends, what are you going to do for your 4th job?[/quote]
Well, I'm planning on putting those points either into Blizzard early to get a stronger ultimate attack and I can use that to pick off people low on health trying to run away. Or I can actually max out Big Bang, since I heard it does a lot of damage if charged up all the way. Either way, having points in those is better than Arcane's Aim, PvP speaking at least, since the skill is literally canceled out, it has no effect.

Go for it.
