    Yes.

    TBH, there was a time that fist BMs were considered fail, so it is clearly a viable option to do otherwise. Just be aware that you won't have/hold aggro worth a damn if you intend to tank.
    Things said during a Twizted faction PK session:
    Slayer_of_Souls: you guys are such suck ups. none of you have attacked twid.
    Twiddzly(fac leader): no, sere killed me already.
    Slayer_of_Souls: he's out there waiting for us, isn't he. i'm gonna die.
    Sereneai: b:sin why don't you come find out.
    Kinglkaruga: you go first dule.

    That's true for fist as well until you get significant -int equipment, usually at 99+.

    I highly suggest the FAQ and the All Path Blademaster threads.

    But yes, All Path works fine - to do so is 3 STR / 2 DEX a level. You're squishy in the start, so look for +Vit and +HP gear, and try for at least minimal refines.

    With all path, you won't ever use swords except in rare instances, and pole only for debuffing or hitting flying mobs. You'll use fists to kill single targets, and axes to kill multiple targets (AOE).

    Anything past that, really check out the BM section and ask questions if you're still confused.

    And pick a server, there are some BMs in the forum that don't mind in game questions.

    Until 92: Barb is best tank. Seeker and BM are about tied for AOE effectiveness.

    After 92: BM is best tank, BM kind-of surpasses seeker due to Amplify skill (Heavens Flame) and AOE Stun.

    Really, you can't go wrong with any of the three. Take a look at their skills in Ecatomb, and read their forums to get a better picture.
