    pve?
    HP shards.
    Accuracy in pve = bleh

    PvE build:

    Minimal dex for wep/armor
    3 str/2 vit

    cap dex at 50-55 60 if you want that extra crit %
    Back.

    If you're going minimum agi, then I'd suggest accuracy. Even if you are mainly PvE.

    even with minimal dex, she will hardly be missing and an extra 50-100 accuracy ain't gonna do much.

    extra HP is the way to go.

    Weapon : Accuracy Shards
    Armor : HP shards

    i was just about to ask the same question, but:

    if i want to be capable of TW but still mainly pve, is that build ok or do i change to 3str 1dex 1vit?

    and what gems to use?

    I don't understand why HP shards would be better/best for a BM. they give you only a very small amount of HP, unless you make full sockets and are glowing red on every piece of armor you have. Would it not be better to have magic/elemental defense shards to make you less vulnerable to magic classes/mobs than a little bit extra health?

    Early on HP is better, every little bit helps but the thing is that you if you stack your EQ with like average hp sharp for 25 hp per shard well you can get like, a 200-400 hp bonus which makes a great difference with HP buff. Mdef shards are better endgame when you can afford not having this little boost to yout hp because you have enough HP coming from your gear bonuses and refinement.

    what would that cut-off point be then? 80?

    90 green or 99 gold or if you're really rich 80 gold with a good refinement.

    the 90 and 99 sets give tons of HP just from bonuses.

    It's almost like Nayiro is giving bad advice deliberately.. It almost seems that way.

    Accuracy is the way to go for minimum agi axe builds.

    I'm not giving bad advice, it's just that in PvE you will almost always hit no matter what, i was a fist BM, then switched to axes and my accuracy was hardly noticeable.

    And also, HP works with Diamond Sutra

    Nayiro, that's simply untrue. My Dex is at the reccomended cap for axe BMs and I do miss a good portion of the time

    well, then again, I am a PvP build.
    But fine, which ever you see fit.
