Pure int vs 25 spr rest intt

[ankitsoodu]

I am a level 32 mage and i currently have 5 points on spr and the rest one int, but I also have 9 stat reset points so i can easily reset the 5 spr points. I wanna know what I should do, go full int or 25spr and rest sp. I dont really see what 25 sp provides and why people say it only helps when u get to higher levels.

You should go 25 SPR (free-stat of course).

SPR provides Magical DEF, extra SP, and critical rate. Critical rate is the most important. Critical hitgives double damage instead of normal damage (that's a lot, believe it or not). You'll know if you do critical hit if you see big purple number. If you add SPR, it gives extra 0.2% critical rate. If you add 25 SPR, that's in total of extra 5% critical rate. Your weapon (staff/wand) also adds critical rate. Staff gives 2% critical rate and wand gives 3% critical rate. Your earrings and CashShop items (if you have any) may also give extra critical rate. However, adding any SPR further than 25 will only add 0.1%, which is a great loss of critical rate. Adding more than 25 SPR is a waste where INT is more important (at least to most people's opinions).

Once you're in high level, 25 INT is nothing compare to 25 SPR with extra 5% critical rate. 25 INT gives extra 30 magical damage, but that's really not much since you'll be doing over thousands of damage. Which do you think is more worth: 800 damage with extra 5% of double damage, or 830 damage? The first option is much better.

What I recommend: Keep adding INT and once you are able to do high damage like some hundreds, start adding SPR.

Depends on what you want to be.


Users say (and it's probably true) that Pure INT outdamages the hybrid build consistently even in later levels.


But if you're willing to buy +crit items from CS, the reverse may be true.

If I were you, I would add the 25 Spr. That's just my opinion. =3

++ big numbers are more fun than little numbers.

Even if a lot of little numbers do more damage than a few big numbers.

Big numbers make me happy where little numbers do not.

Add the SPR.

=3 Yay!

Add the SPR. The crit is worth way more then the extra damage in the higher levels.

That is right. Adding the SPR will make your total dmg over time just all the more.

Triumph, if you ever read this, please post up the Excel spread-sheet you talked about with damage-values from a hybrid versus a pure-INT build.


Thanks.

I would go pure int as for aoe mage o_O and always pure int . INT IS STAT OF MAGE ONLY ( For now??). But if crit equips and 25 spr ( 5% from spr and like 15% from eq and such= 20% change to do 2x dmg. Depends what you want o_O
