Comments on imbues.

Ice: People say glaive is too slow.. Doesn't matter too much since it will be slow with all imbues and element damage will be low. Ice very effective pvp, can freeze and inturrupt enemies attack along with the annoying stun glaive users possess. This combo can be one of the most annoying to 1vs1 especially w/ the combo + repeated stun + freeze.

Lightning: Reduces parry = more max damage onto the enemy. At later levels this will be very effective, but may annoy you PvM. The AoE damage is very weak and can bring unwanted enemies.

Fire: DoT ( damage over time ) at later levels burns quickly and will hurt a lot. Also in pvp with the constant use of Uni's the 25% chance of burn will help effect the enemy faster since glaive attacks slowly.

I've only done these imbues on archers so... if someone else has other comments enlighten me.

* All user's disgretion due to the skill point factor and valuability of using them wisely.

*2)AoE Skill - This skill is helpful for leveling / ganked by multiple enemies. Also good as last hit on enemy with low hp. Downfall is - Not as effective later levels as my friends say. Also has a very noticable down time to do next attack after skill is used. I suggest leveling this a little to fight multiple enemies and last hit monsters if SP allows.

*6)Very good for pvp/general grinding. Annoying with taking out a shield to buff. Really only good if very high level which will be difficult w/o sp farming. Choices are either sp farm a lot to max it if you don't mind carrying a shield. Or hit max level, sp farm then. And then do this.

*8)This skill is very helpful PvP against all of the nukers. But PvM it won't be very helpful until the 40+ monsters ( other than the level gun powders / taoist lvl 27-29ish) Level this skill more if you decide to wear armor/protector. If you wear garment and go ice invest more into ice gaurd. Max if sp allows.

*10)Having this skill a low level with a pure strength character will not help very much. With 95% Phys balance most players have 32% Mag balance I believe. A level 2 second book of this skill gives about 10% more magic damage. Essentially increasing your magic damage from 32-35.6%. This increase may not be worth the sp and the at lower levels will help even less.

*11)The speed = getting to enemy quicker. Quicker one can get to the enemy the faster you will level. This may be true, but the sp cost increases steadily. The choice of running fast which in pvp won't help unless you're running or chasing. I suggest getting this a nice level, but not a priority.

*15)This skill is "Slightly" useful for being friendly. IE: low mp and you can randomly help some1 by frostbiting their giant. PvP For first attack, but at higher lvls won't help + uni. Will also do a scraggly 1 damage. Useful at pvp at 10-30 and pointless if you choose Ice Imbue.

*16)Frost Nova - GREAT SKILL but mp is a b****. PvP awesome for the 50% freeze chance which will inturrupt their attack. Better than book 2 for 1vs1 pvp due to less mp cost than second book and only attacking 1 enemy. 2nd book very good but if you choose ice imbue and use ghost spear petal you shouldn't need it too bad.

Going 3 skill trees and sp farming very littlle. Suggestion would be to keep weapon skills high. Elemental skills low.

Force level 10: Mp Passive
Elemental skills 10 under level or so.
Weapon skills 0-3 behind actual level.

At the beginning it won't be so bad to get element right behind level. But once you're in the 30's-40's it will be quite difficult.
