Regarding INT birds... Important please answer.

**Neffy** · 09-14-2011, 06:22 PM

So I was thinking about becoming an INT bird. Does this mean I can use mage spells or no? Because if I can't then never mind. I love the look and stats of Nuri's robes, staff, etc, but I'm not making a new account. Is it possible for my birdy to use mage spells of no? Please help. <3.

No, sorry. Birds still use bird skills.

The point is that you can equip int gear, which generally give you better protection as compared to Dex gear, but is in turn worse for dealing dmg. So basically, the point is to give you choice

I get it. Kind of like a lower-end tanking solution?

That, and more mana regen.. But new armors don't seem to have this problem like custom and raid did. So not much point to adding any int...

Oh, so INT birds are kinda useless at higher levels, correct?

On my int bird i use the int gear for survivability and regen. The dex gear has a bit less armor, but I sacrifice DPS, damage, etc just to lessen my pot usage.

**Neffy** · 09-14-2011, 08:27 PM

I can see how that'd be useful I suppose.

IMO... Pretty much, unless you use dex sets with low m/s. 15+ m/s worked for my bird very well... With pure dex. If you're 55, just buy the cheap pieces of SK or something for PvE.

However.. I believe you can probably do the terror combo with the gemstone wands. Haven't tested... Can anyone confirm either way on this? O.o

Terror is gem wand and hell-scream. Intbirds are very usefull at high levels if you play em right.

But who has the patience? Probably would want to use the enchanted set, also.. Defeating the purpose of int. O.o

Enchanted wand set has really good H/s and decent enough M/s. However, I feel the Fortified set is a better choice, unless you hate melee bird.

Bringing me back to my point.. Int birds are pointless lol.

I wonder how the newer glyph charming sets are on an int bird?

Hm, no clue. You're probably the first one to even consider it. :P , But I haven't seen many mages use glyph charmin' sets in PvP yet. Ofc, I'm sticking to 50-54 games atm because I'm to lazy to grind the horrific exp from Nuri's... So idk.
