i have seen in many threads advice to max vit at 50 and rest into vit or str for a sword BM. the problem i see is the following: between lvl 60-70, there are ABSOLUTELY NOT any pure physical monster, every monster starts a fight with a magic blast, that is between 500-600 damage, after that come the phyisical hits. so in average, for every monster you fight you get 500 magic damage + 500-1000 physical damage depending on how fast u kill it. that means 1000-1500 damage per monster. now to the vit problem. i have 45 vit and 3k HP, that means every 2 fights i either have to use potions or sit down and rest.

So i would like to know how other Bms overcome this problem, and please dont say use a charm, i will explain why i dont use charm in another thread.

PS: oh and i DO use diamond sutra, it helps but not enough to survive many fights in a row, especially after u run put of mana.

    Fist BM, shadowless kick, etc.
    Or...
    Try using that leap skill into them, they won't use magic if you get close to them REALLY fast. It's a very underrated skill.
    88 FIRE! An "anti-tank" projectile, accompanied by an AC-130 are on their way to ensure insanity.

    1.- Aeolian Blade => Normal Attacks
    2.- Roar of the Pride => Normal Attacks
    3.- Tiger Leap => Normal Attacks
    4.- Fist => Shadowless Kick => Sword => Normal Attacks

    Use HP Shards, refine your equipment, buy an MP Hiero (way cheaper than buying potions) and use Diamond Sutra.

    I have 50 VIT and 4k HP, I have no problems fighting against mobs, since they use physical attacks, the first magic attack gets cancelled by Aeolian Blade or Tiger Leap, then just use heal every 3~4 mobs.

    And I "have it more difficult since I use Spear with a range of 5m".

    Oh, and well, it's matter of preference, but I have Alter Marrow Physical (maxed) on all the time.
