    What is the general stats for multi purpose BM those who would use all weapons?

    What would those stats be?

    6 STR and 4 DEX will allow you to use every single weapon on their best. But you can always use a lower grade level Fists or Axes and reduce your STR/DEX to 5 STR, 4 DEX, 1 VIT every two levels or 6 STR, 3 DEX, 1 VIT every two levels.

    What weapon will you be using?

    For low levels 50 VIT is enough, but past level 90 for PvP you will need more VIT (unless you refine your armors to +8 or higher).

    Lyndura, how should a lv 8x pole BM deal with an axe bm/barb of similar level in a NON GENIE DUEL? Currently im experimenting on oceans edge, leaps, etc. but it is futile because of the zerk on their XS. I always get them to very very low hp but their damage output is just much higher than mine. I have 6995 hp unbuffed and a +7 Jade heart. but fighting ppl with XS +7s, etc make it sooo tough.

    PS: In a genie duel, they stand no chance, I only wanna know about NON-Genie duels

    Using HH90 green set, enough VIT to have around 7~8k HP self buffed, depending on your refinements and shards.

    And at your level you will usually be able to take 4~6 mobs on you, past level 70 taking 15+ mobs will be no problem.

    Constantly use Bleed, slow them with Ocean's Edge, use Leaps, Farstrike, Smack, Drake's Ray. Use Aeolian Blade to keep interrupting them, and Roar here and there. Make sure to always have enough Chi to use your heal.

    They key to win a duel is getting hit the less possible, so kiting will be your strenght over them.

    NOTE: 2.- NEVER add a single point into MAG, you don't need it, you won't need it, you will regret it if you add a single point in there, it's useless.


    I disagree. I'm new to pw and adding points in MAG. will get you more mp meaning more using skills. If you're like me and use skills every chance you get, an odd point to MAG. never hurts.

    MP pots cover you. I've never ever been in a situation where just using mp pots couldn't cover me spamming skills. Magic is the least useful stat to put points into for a BM

    Do not add magic. You will regret later. Start over now. If you want to spam skills learn apothecary, use up your mp pots. But really its unnecessary to spam skills at your level.

    If you want to add points to magic play a Cleric.

    I suggest holding off on the vitality for a little while and grab some dex. But that's my opinion.

    I use polearm and I use all the genie skills that are on the guide, but mostly PvP ones like Occult Ice, Balance, True Emptiness and the last slot is always changing.

    Until your DEX is around 60, then start with VIT AND DEX again.

    No. You will add points to strength according to equipment/weapon needs. Rest into dex.

    Doesn't look like I followed any of the builds in the guide, is it useless? It was my first character.

    Well, you happen to be at a spot were you can correct your str. For right now Add 5 str to your character until you can equip heavy armor. Also, have you decided on a weapon path. That would help determine the correct str requirement you will need.

    Hope I helped.

    BM Level 32

    Hi!

    I need to adjust my BM with whom I have been playing without care so far. I may have to reset but I do not want to start over as I have spent much $$$ on this character. It would seem that there is no such thing as a massive reset. I have leveled many skills too and even the genie. Need to revert in order to build correctly, as I am starting to feel the pressure. Any Advice?

    Here is the challenge:

    Level 32 Blademaster

    Vitality: 40
    Magic: 17
    Strength: 77
    Dexterity: 41

    I can reset Magic through scrolls but its my skills I'm worried about.

    Your guide is the greatest b:pleased . b:sad I have a lvl 56 BM. Her stats should be 170 str and the dex should be 32 but its 56 and my vit is at 56 also. All this is attribute points. I am wondering to leave my dex points at 56 until at the lvl when it should be there and increase my vit and strength until then. Or would b best to buy a stone to reset my dex points?

    Well, what weapon path(s) will you follow?

    Your skills are fine, except for Tiger Maw and Stream Strike, but you shouldn't worry that much, they are skills that require low Spirit, so it will affect you for only some levels.

    Well, if you follow the requirements for using Axe, then yes, your DEX should be 32.

    But remember that you still have free stat points every two levels to add anywhere you want, so it is ok if you put some of those points into DEX. It is all depending on what you want, you can have a VIT build (you add more VIT than DEX), a DEX build (you add more DEX than VIT), an STR build (You add more STR than the required), or a "balanced" build (Same VIT and DEX).

    Since you have already a balanced build, I would say you're ok, unless you want to be either DEX or VIT oriented, then you just have to start adding more of that stat.

    That is why I'm worried. I didn't started out with a plan. I just wanted to play. Only now i realized a well built 25 BM could run over me easily.

    Well, once you choose a weapon path we can fix your stats to work towards it.
