Looking for pretty fast leveling I guess, Whats the best to get first? Was mayyybbbeee thinking: Ice/Lightning: This build maxes ice first, then lightning straight after. It�s the most common build and mostly used before CPQ. In my opinion, it�s one of the easier builds Level 30: 1 Teleport Levels 31-40: 3 Cold Beam Levels 41-50: 3 Thunderbolt Level 51: 3 MP Eater Levels 52-57: 3 Meditate Level 58: 2 Meditate, 1 Teleport Levels 59-64: 3 Teleport Levels 65-69: 3 MP Eater or 3 Slow Level 70: 2 MP Eater, 1 Slow or 3 Slow

it's a good build.. but not the most effective for cpq. for cpq.. def ice first.. then medit next. if you're going to do a mix of cpq and grinding.. your build.

Even though Lightning is nerfed in CPQ, I'd say it's still much more effective than Cold Beam, especially in rooms 1~4. In rooms 3/4, you'll amaze people when you mob 6 Trojans. Think about it: Thunderbolt = 200~300 on 6 targets = 1200~1800 Cold Beam = 600~1000 on 1 target = 600~1000 In the end, Lightning is the fastest for training and CPQing. It leaves you very versatile so you can decide what you want to do.

but i never hit more than like.. 250 in cpq with lit... and that's given that there's a endless flow of monsters.. which isn't always the case

Lightning if you want to be poor. Ice if you want to be rich.

"I decided to choose lightning, Which build is better?" Didn't catch that, did ya?

I'd recommend the second one. Although I went Lightning first and it's vital to fast training, being able to freeze is an extremely important part of being an I/L. It helps offset the pot costs of going Lightning first. Though what I did is I put the 3 MP Eater right after Lightning and before Cold Beam to slightly reduce MP usage.
