a few bm questions

Jannove - Harshlands

i was just reading on the sins main thread place thingy and reading the
sins vs bms and such. and read some where in there about a bm maxing 3 of the 4 paths they have...

what is recommended?(for these pathes)

if you can do all 3 what lvl would you end up maxing one out? (say 1-40? <-- as an example).

as a bm ive noticed we have some good power shots and such. not many buffs(but of course im still learning and low lvled compared to many other people and those who are considered "vet bms" and such.

in the end your able to be an axe/hammer user, fist, and sword? with those 3 maxed out? (for realz?)

also i seem to be thinking that bms are a bit weak in their early stages (correct me if i am wrong) but ive noticed (with a friend i quest with) shes a psy and shes able to hit and kill faster then my self, it takes her 3-5 seconds to kil something and it takes me about 1-20 seconds to kill something, that seems kinda wrong, but it could be just like i said earlier, that bms are weaker in their ealier stages.

also what is this HA and what is the recommended path to go with frist while doing your build?

(at first i messed up with my skills due to having NO knowledge of the game, so... i have less str, dex and vit in their actual places right now i didnt know any better till i read the guide after a couple hours of playing).

what are the max stats on a character? (like 500 str? 450 dex? 450 vit? 500 magic?)

You should never put any points into magic period. It doesn'e help BMs and is wasted points. I use all four weapons. It is plenty possible to max all your skills but you won't be able to do it until you are past level 90.

Also, for some of the weapon paths you will have to wield a weapon that is lower level than you are unless your stats from level 1 all the way up to whatever you are at now are 3str and 2dex every single level.

Psychics and other magic classes will do a lot more damage than you, but they are squishy and have low hp so they easily die in just a couple hit even if they can deal more damage.

yea all 4 paths are good when ur around 90

I honestly did not even branch out to a second path till 80. By my mid 90's, I had all four. As mentioned above, you will more then likely be using a weapon in one or more paths that is not on par with your level, in order to keep you needed stats going.

At 98 I restated finally to allow use for all TT99 weapons, because to me ( to keep the flaming down ) vit was not as important as it was before, being replaced with higher grade shards and more refining. Thuo many might not agree ( some will, but many will not ) the loss of dmg from adding more str was more then I thought I was going to run into with the removal of 20 dex. Before the rants start going up about str adding more then dex in terms of dmg ( 1 point str = 4 points dex in terms of dmg ) the loss of the 1% of crit was very noticable when fighting solo bosses.
ex. room 45 cube boss.
Pre restat into str to use TT99 weapons was well under 4.5 mins to kill easily
post restat more like 5-6 mins to kill

Any true DD class will out kill us when it comes to mobs. They have much more dmg output ( normally ) but have to hold it back at times for chance of pulling aggro, thus why they are squishy. So a Psy should be able to kill much faster then ourselves.

I heartly agree with what Taelon said, you won't need more then two classes till your in your 80s. My suggestion(opinion not fact) is that Axe and Hammer are a good lvling path, and then later restat to what you want to go. I personally am going to be Axe/hammer and fist/claw, so as to be a good tank.
