Hi

So I have a level 32 blademaster, and I haven't gotten around to doing my culti yet (waiting for help on farng) but whenever i try to do mobs anywhere close to me level i end up using tons of hp pots or running away and recovering every couple of monsters. Is this normal, or am i doing something wrong?

Build is-
Vit: 37
Strength: 104
Dex: 38
Mag:5

I'm also wearing rank armor without any stones

Sorry for the long post. thanks b:victory

    Make finishing the Culti a priority. The self-heal you get to learn at 29 is incredible, among other things and makes life MUCH easier.

    Other than that...uh...learn Leaps and stuns and stuff to deal with magic mobs? Work on better gear? I dunno...never thought of myself as all that squishy tbh. O_O

    It's normal ^^

    The lower levels are kinda like a "right of passage" the way I see it. It starts off extremely difficult, but gets a lot easier as you go.

    Later on you'll have better gear, refines, shards, alter marrows, maxed aura of golden, maxed weapon mastery, diamond sutra, access to better genie skills and life will be a good deal easier.

    To help you on your way for now, I'd recommend taking a day off and digging every nectar and golden herb you can get your hands on (near the starter areas). Then you can make Life Powder at the apoth which should get you through all quests up to lv70 easily enough. =)

    (If you're on sanctuary I can come squash farng for ya too =p)

    *agree's with Nanayo* Very high priority!

    But really the lower lvls, those are the hardest for a BM. Because your getting used to all the skills, learning how to use them in combo's, etc.
    Do as DarkSeph suggested, it'll help you massively. Though if you have cash to spend, just pay $10 for 10 gold and buy yourself a gold HP and MP charm, it should last you for a good **** time, cosndering how little vit you have compared to when I was lvl 32 :P

    Two things:

    Did you get all 3 pieces of your rank armor, and equip them with citrine shards? That helps alot in preventing squishy syndrome.

    Do you actually hit things? That is pretty low dex for that lvl, and if you're missing the vit is actually making you take MORE damage than it is preventing you from dieing. I didn't have much issues as a 0 vit BM back then, and was slightly higher dex than str to make sure I kept hitting the mobs with 93% or more to hit chance on them. Kept the fights short to prevent getting hit.
