    Its not only the weapon path you choose, the skill of the player is waht matters most. If you work out a different strategy for each class you fight, you will see you will perform much better, ragardless of what weapon you chose.

    Lol, just because they're sword doesn't mean they can't stun. So really, both sides can stun lock. Not only axe bms can stun, wtf...

    Agreed. Probably the only person who makes sense out of all these "OMFG sword bms suck" threads. Grow up people, it's how you use them. Jeez. b:surrender

    This thread was obviously made for trolling. If the OP wanted an actual discussion he would have posted in one of the many discussion threads about weapons pro's and con's.

    let the thread die its a waste of space on the front page. OP can take up his point in this thread. The debate going on there is quite good.

    I tell people I know the same thing, developing your own player skill and understanding how to play your character is what matters the most. That is the reason I can't stand cookie-cutter builds. ^^

    No, what he means is stun lock effectively, A sword user has Lions Roar, 6 sec aoe, and then Aeloian blade which is 50% chance for 3 seconds, total = 9.

    An axe users stun lock is 2-3 times longer.

    Yeah i am hybrid axe/swords and well the genies now helps in pvp i think cause the genie have a skill that allow a chance to break stun so yeah axe stunlocking might now work now... well just a guess?

    Already said before, it's not the weapon, its the player.

    On a side note, anyone ever seen a BM that switches weapons in the middle of combat? They're pretty sick. o.O

    Not only the skill and weapon but you need to make sure you armor is up to snuff. Your armor can make or break you. Trust me I'm living proof of what bad armour can do. b:chuckle

    I will talk for my experience. My build is sword, my TT wep is for sword. When im grinding i switch to fist to stop spell cast fron mob, them quick switch back to blade to suk dmg, when he is about to cast spell again i quick switch to axe and use stun skill (dont remember the names :P) them quickly switch back to blade and finish his as s

    when i get ambushed i switch to axes and aoe them, quickly switch to fist to use one las aoe and switch back and most of the skills are reloaded.

    If im fighting a ph mob them i use ocean edge to slow him them push him back with sword skill, them atack him fron far with spirit chase and drakes ray, and when he get back to me i finish him with aoelian blade (if he s not finish, he has % of be stuned :P)

    So, the botton line its, we should stop qq about weapons, listen to the high lvl people who tell you to learn all skills and use all weps, beleive me, its way more fun and u have a skill for every situation. For my part, my dmdging wep its my sword and also for push back and atack fron far, Axes for aoe and one more stun skill, fist to stop spell and one more aoe, later, i willmake a tt spear too b:victory

    peaceb:thanks

    That's why I usually (try to) do ^^ it's pretty sick, I only have 1 axe skill atm, but I'm going to develop some more fist and axe skills, though my main build was/is blades you need to learn to take advantage of your possibilities^^
    Being able to switch from dps to stun locks for tanking, to interrupts for casters is great, once you are trained in using those combinations you'll make a better tank than most barbs imo xD

    ok, if ur mainly blades you have less hp, so what? you have more chance to hit the enemy, in combination with styles you can take out your groups/bosses faster than a barb who, if the dd's starts attacking before the aggrolock, will lose the aggo pretty fast ^^
    Also the Alter Marrow skills are extremely usefull! though don't go over lvl5 of them, multiclasses are badass, 70% of ur phys def gone is quite a lot xD I should have stayed with 50%, though you're more likely to find mag mobs starting to do phys damage when ur close, so I suggest putting some skill in Sprint, or use some sprint pills, to get to them quickly so that they can't cast xD
    BM's are the best if you know how to use them^^
    If you want an easy character go veno xD if you want a true challenge: bm's the s h i t xD
    BM FTW!!!!

    Suggestions:

    Since you have fists and swords. Check which weapon takes you longer to kill the magic mob. In my experience, I noticed that with sword, it was more likely to have to block 3 mag attacks (it was usually two attacks) compared to fists which usually finishes the mob almost prior the second attack or a bit after.


    Regarding your slow down strategy with oceans edge, I do it too, but I include vacuous palm too since I have it.

    I pull the mob with bow, then drake ray, then draw blood, oceans edge, vacous palm, atmos strike. if everything works fine the mob is away from you bleeding and since is slowed by the the skill it will take a while to return.

    In the mean time you hit him with bow or range skills. I got the bow from the supply box. this bow has a chance to reduce 50 of damage done by the mob.

    Also if the knockback fails you can leap back and everything works the same.

    This works even better if you have the bleed skill from poleblade (which I dont).

    I dont use spirit chaser due to the long casting time (twice as drake ray).

    those are some nice tips granrey, i will put them into practice :P Also, when im using blade i can kill the mob before he cast a 3d skill, and the TT70 Sword i use have high% of quiken, which can help me kill the mob he can cast a 2nd skill. Also, im using a genie skill which reduces the ph def for 20%, another usefull strategy b:victory

    Bottom line is, you will never any other class like wizards, archers, venos, barbs or clerics arguing each other about their who is better, we are a class, a very versatile, dificult, and doomed in the point of view of others. But only the ones who plays a BM know how Xtremely fun it is, and we are all BM, let us defend our class, no matter chich path you took. BM FTW b:pleased

    PD: i like the way this forum turn the topic fron flaming to tips and strategys b:victory

    Yeah, 1v1 skills like Mage Bane right? xD. Have fun fighting a spear BM. You don't have enough DEX to evade like fist BMs and we hit harder.
