Acording to the expert on this forum (we all know whob:chuckle), thats the best weapon in 1V1
So, you have there a good weapon. spear for 1v1 and Axes for everything else.
I have never heard bad news on that weapon.0 -
No lyndura, what I am asking is how? Just by AoE grinding and that does it? I am a sword BM and I dont buy equips, no heiro, I barely add skills(havent added yet that is) and I dont buy pots meaning everything I have goes to the bank. I dont see how that would earn less than an axe BM. When they buy pots, buy heiro, need equips and skills and they still get lots of money. Dont seems logical to me. And I know if we want, BMs just change to axe BMs at higher lvl by restating and skill points wont be a problem just the cash part but heiro are like 400k... Really expensive for a 53 you know? I just dont get how can you do it when I as a sword BM is saving so much more than anyone? ( well, at least I am sure I do )0

I think there is very litle argument of who gets more exps/min as Axes can fight several mobs like nothing. Saying that, I'm not sure who makes more profit per minute.
Why, since I dont have a pure Axe's toon meaning, no right stats and AOE skills up to level 1. I can only tell you what I have experience with it.
When I grind mobs with AOE, I get more exps per minute but at higher cost per kill. Since, I have to use MP while I do it. Saying that, the profit I do is less then when I'm grinding 1vs1 on fists/sword.
Again, I dont have the right stats and skills for axes. So, this is just my experience on the argument.0 -
yeah, sorry to have left you out...spears are great. We just seem to have a couple of loyal sword users here who are trying to drive Lyndura crazy ;-)Originally Posted by Paulita - Dreamweaver View Post

Spears were my 2nd choice, based on what I wanted for my character. Read the stickied guides, they really are good.0 -

This is considering the BM has his/her own healer, if not they will have to buy one HP charm every 3~4 hours and one MP charm every 7~11 hours.
If they do have a healer, or if they are skilled enough to AoE grind without using much/any charm at all then it is just one MP charm every 7~11 hours.0 -

OMG.b:shocked
I;m noobing around and charms last me 5 times more than this.
Simple question:
This is part of the miss info propaganda. Why a BM needs a charm to grind?
Not all of us have to AOE to get kills. So you know.
I use HP charm to avoid deaths by mistake. MP charm mostly for Diamond Sutra and to use skills to counter mobs. Then, I get MP pots from drops that almost balance things out.
Still, if what you are saying is true, this show how lame is to play Axes. No challenge at all. Anyone should be able to do it.b:chuckle0 -
Then keep playing the way you do, while other BM's are making much more money and experience (saving a lot of time) and overall being more efficient than you.0

Again, you are missleading here.
You think that leveling and money is everything in the game (at least that's nothing for me).
Honestly, do you think I play this game to be level 105? or to have 3 billion of fake money?
Look the importance is the trip, the destination is a stupid place.
Are you gonna tell your friends you are level 105? or are you going to put that in your resume for applying for a job?
Honestly, your banker does not care how many fake coins you have in PWI.
Look if I want to do that, I stay on farming and open a cat shop then buy exps and then become 105.
Or I simply spend real money to do that.
I can make more fake money playing monopoly than PWIb:chuckle
Anyway, there is no sense in to it.0 -
Everyone has different goals in the game, that is why I said "keep playing the way YOU do".
For me, in game money, levels and equipment are necessary to make my character have the best performance for PvP/TW/etc.
PvE do not provides me any challenge at all, so I focus on the others. There is where I find the fun at.
You on the other hand, have no interest in PvP/TW/etc, the only thing left is PvE, and since it doesn't really provides a challenge, you create it so you can actually have fun.
Two different goals, two different persons, two different ways to do things.
So people looking for advice, have to compare their goals to ours and choose what to follow: Money+PvP+Best Performance+Whatever or....0 -
I've seen a big part of this post and I have only one thing to say:
It doesn't matter the build you have or the weapon you chose. It's all on the player behind the character. They are the pwners, they know what to do and how to get things done. Now, don't tell the noobs to SU, let them fail and learn, that's the way things go. (and great players have great builds and that's their secret)
Lyndura, if what you talk is as good as your skill; which I don't have a doubt, but just haven't had the opportunity to see; if they don't want to hear what you have to say, then just don't bother with it, you're a legend just by being a step from the sage/demon paths.

That's correct.0 -
Okay... Anyway I dont bother anymore. I want to do something really crazy and since lyndura is the TW/PvP guy, I shall ask him/her or whatever in a message see ya!0

Seriously this is just ridiculous..
Lyndura's suggestions are for overall PvE and PvP dominance... No matter what you say, Axes will net you more drops/cash and XP in an hour than a sword or fist will in 3-4 hours. Now, put 2 Axe BMs or 1BM+Cleric in YKD for an hour..pure profit!!
Granery's suggestions and arguments are for PvE… If you got all the time in the world, you're a "carebear", and enjoy toying with limited intelligence then Fist or swords are the weapons for you! (I'm sorry but I still don't understand how people can ONLY PvE and not mix it up with a bit of PvP at least?!?!?)
Summary:
Axe + Spear:
Pros: Best at PvP,TW, express leveling and money making
Cons: You will NEVER out DPS a Hell Fisty in a boss fight (assuming same lvls of gear and skills), be able to cancel boss spells or have glowing hands
Fist + Sword
Pros: PvE/dungeon single target DPS kings and cooler animations(?)
Cons: You CANNOT compete with an Axe or Spear BM in PvP (assuming same lvls of gear and skills)
This is the way the damn BM class was built by the devz!!! b:angry0 -
You talk a lot for someone who dont dare to show his face... Can we just close the thread? Just let it fade away... Please?0
-
be able to cancel boss spells
Well the glowy hands no, but I do cancel out their abilities now. Drop spear, hit ability put spear back on and away I go......b:victory0 -

I have many stories to share about this but these are the lastest ones:
when I;m grinding or Orchid Petalis. All the BM around me (mostly axes), you see them running around with the wood damage over their toon heads. However, you rarely see my toon with one on it.
So, who is the noob?
When, I am on TT, I'm the one cancelling the AOE from Drummer and applying miriad of sword stance.
So, who is the noob?
When I was late 50's and late 60's. I could handle a pyrofiend inside TT way better than Axes guys.
So, who is the noob?
When I'm figthing a high level melee mob, I;m the one knocking him back and while he returns to I'm the one hitting him with my range skills or bow. In other words, I hit while he cant hit me.
So, who is the noob?
There are many more cases but no need to show who is the noob. If you keep your built to "only axes" that shows who is the real noob. Axes is probably the best weapon vs several opponents or for PVP but in PVE 1v1 (toon vs mob), sword and fists have many usefull tricks to show who is the real noob and who is missing something.
right on dude,0 -
Yeah, personally I am changing to axe build but I feel that BMs should not be confined to one weapon. So I will continue on sword using an axe build. Kinda like a higher dex for an axe build... well still like trying.0
-
Yeah seems even though the name is Blademaster not too many use it since it doesn't kill as fast but I could care less I like the blades and use fists too.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0

The least weapon I've seen is polearm. (club, pike, scythe, etc.)0
