Pure Builds (cookie cutter builds) : Strength- Increases HP and Improves physical damage ; Intelligence- Increases MP and Improves magic damage . A pure build is when you put all of your points into one stat when you level up. These builds are considered the "best" builds by Korean and International players. This is a good choice for general SilkRoad players that are just starting. Pure builds are some of the most basic builds, yet some of the most effecient. Pure strength builds are considered the "tanks" of SilkRoad. Pure intelligence builds are considered the damage dealers of SilkRoad. These two builds will be the best at what they do. A few strength weapons are blade,glaive, and bow (argueable). The general weapons for intelligence users are swords and spears because of the improved magic damage.
Explaining Your Build , if someone asks you, what build do you have? It is important to know what you are talking about when you reply. When explaining your build, you should always list how you put your stat points in, your main element, and your main weapon mastery. To list how you put your stat points in, you should say how many points you put in every level (i.e., 2:1). The system shows how many points are put into a particular stat compared to another stat. So a 5:1 strength means that the person puts in 1 intelligence for every 5 strength he gets.
