Destructive Half: Mystheia's Smashing Smasher Build
Smashers are considered to be one of the strongest (...over-powered?) classes in Dragon Nest, especially in PvP wherein level 70 Smashers strike fear and terror among other players especially when playing as Captain (with additional stats) in the Captain Mode Rooms. Setting a Smasher build, as Shiokoori says, is not a difficult task. One generally has to simply build on all the laser skills and be happy with them. With the 65 passive Time Controller (reduced cooldown of all Smasher Skills, i.e. right side of the Force User Tree), anyone could be happy simply spamming lasers leaving a path of destruction in your wake. The Smashers, in general, is the more destructive sister of the Majesty, as can be seen in its skill tree which focuses on speedy damaging skills.
This skill guide does not promise perfection but it does promise a maximized damage input plus a few crowd-controlling tricks up your sleeve.

In this build, I decided to get level 19 Glacial Spike, which translates to 24% freeze chance. I think level 16 Glacial Spike (21% freeze chance) works just as well and you can even save the 3 points to put on either Gravity Trap (to slow down enemies) or Mana Surge (which acts a bit like the Vigor suffix).
I did not max Mental Mastery for the simple reason that Smashers are INT based and therefore has a lot of MP already. Instead, I maxed Mana Recovery because Arcane eats a lot of MP, and when paired with Mana Surge, mana loss becomes unnoticeable.
I'm a fan of Triple Orbs but without the EX version, I decided that it's not worth much of my time. I rather invest my SP on my enhanced lasers and use Triple Orbs to hold enemies instead.
Summon Comet has to be maxed because it's a huge, single-drop (pun not intended) skill, with a large damage and an even larger AoE (the higher the level, the bigger the comet). Also, because the lasers can easily be mobilized before or after this skill.
The rest of the skill tree is pretty much self-explanatory, but if you have questions, feel free to post.
