Glaive: Fire/Ice? Or Fire/Light

SymphonyX · **Joined:** Jul 2009 **Posts:** 29 **Location:** USA

So I haz a glavier, been ice the whole way, and im debating on changing to light, or keeping ice.
The way I see it, Ice builds die easy anyway for a glavier.

Well like I said, I find that ice build dies easy anyways

And like you said anything other then pvp is light. I kinda want like reasons i guess of going this or that besides the obvious

Fire/Cold combo for pure str's is the strongest one you can have..If you die easy with maxed ice (by other str chars that is) you probably got shitty gear. I would stay Ice if you enjoy pvp once in a while.

if with ice you die easy then the problem is your gear... weapon-fire-ice is considered the best for str in terms of pvp

reason:
- you have both walls
- high mag defense from garm+fire and high phys defense from ice + the fact you're str

If you are dying too easy with a glavier, that has fire and ice, wouldnt it make sense that you will only die more easily when you have less defense?
Wont really solve any problem. Ice is its strongest at level 100, adds a huge amount of defense.

there could be many things for your reasons, you maybe not switching to shield or just dont know how to play it right.

but no way in hell changing to light would make you survive longer.

100 +5 chest
99+7 hood
96+5 pants
99+5 feet
98+5 hands
sos +5 necklace and ring
98+7 ring
95+6 earings
All FB

So far worth prasing I beat a s/s nuker lvl 102 with SoN +5 sword fb, 101+8 shield, SoN +5 pants
And s/s nuker +5 s/s with SoN +6 chest

I'm just wondering, if its worth switching to light. Alot of the oldschool players on my server that I've asked say I should switch to light

With a set like that I don't see why you would die often. Only reason you could go light is if you are in need of sp and don't want to farm so much. But if you can stay ice or go even force, just forget about light, it's not worth it.

I remember my GM from 90 cap was a fire/light glavier, and it seems alot of older players were that way due to ice not being as great back then. But with the addition of higher defense passives and buffs (Final Guard of ice) I feel the opinion has shifted in favor of ice. But if you have made the choice for light, then nobody is really going to be able to talk you out of it, and you should go with your favorite.

Okay well thanks for your advice everyone. From ice only thing i use is ice guard, passive, and snow <-(rarely). With light i can get better parry + better dmg rather then just better phy.

Unless you take it for sp reasons you will regret light later. Ice is so much better, go lvl ice wall and use it against int chinese chars or warriors and you will see ice is great.

Might get 20 ice for the lulz. Ice wall does seem to help some i.e rogue pricks lol. Most nukers take down ice wall fairly easy though, I usually stick to fire wall for them

XMoshe · **Posted:** Tue Apr 20, 2010 10:04 pm

I got the wall maxed and it takes like like 2/3 combo's to take it down, that's 2/3 combo's of no chance for stats (besides bleed, that somehow gets through ice wall). Maxing light is stupid, if you take light either go 90/20 or 80/30 light/ice >.<

But really I wouldn't change, Ice's def buff+passive, wall, and snow is alot better than some parry and a little bit of mag dmg increase.

To win the fight you have to be in control of the situation...ice IS control

Yeah, you're doing something wrong if you're dying with that set, and a shitload of defense from ice.

GET LIGHT!!!!!!!

You are a bower and you have range skills. If you get light (ghost walk) you cn always be out of range from enemies because you are faster than them they can't reach you while you shoot on them.

The name of the topic is: Glaive: Fire/Ice? Or Fire/Light.

Wrong topic?

But about these builds, get ice or 80/30 light/ice.

theres no build that can keep you from sucking..

srsly wtf is light gonna do other than make you run around faster? wat r you gonna do run away lol? suure it gives a slight magic increase but thats all.. Ice gives you MORE defense which will give you a NOTICEABLE edge in pvp while light only gives you speed

Hesukal/Fire/Ice is pretty rape in pvp i tried my friends that was level 100 with only a +3 set and i could easily kill players 1-2 levels higher than me with +5 sets

And as for the parry that light gives, just pimp the parry of ur gear and light doesn't matter.
