    3: i think swords look better, but that's just a personal opinion.
    PW has been endless frustration for me #2

    1. Swords are the worst in PvP/TW imo. Spears and Axes have more AoE. Fists just suck, so I don't count fist Blademasters as Blademasters, rather, I count them as the would-be gods for sticking it out. I played Swords before. They're the best for boss fights.

    2. Lack of strong ranged attacks, stuns, and aoe.

    3. Neither. Axes are best. Swords, though, are(slightly) cooler than spears.

    I disagree on a lot of these things.

    1. Swords do well in PvP. They have high single-target DPS, if not the highest, and when it comes to aerial battles for BM's, they need that. They also have the highest damaging Doom skill.

    2. They're not. They lack AoE, but not everyone just wants to AoE.

    3. This is too opinionated of a question to be answered fairly. The flashiest, the Doom skills, both look amazing. Swords have something that always reminds me of Archer from "Fate Stay Night" his "Unlimited Blade Works". It doesn't look like that, but it reminds me of it. Swords fall down from the sky and then twirl back up. Spears have this huge Ice AoE thing. Lemme find a youtube video.

    The worst build is Fist. There is no question about that really, but beside that everything else is a viable choice. Only thing that matters would be your skill and how well you use your character.

    If enjoyability factor is included in this, I'd say that swords were the funnest of the Blademaster classes. I played them from the beginning to the end(level87), and enjoyed it every step of the way.

    Im wondering if sword will be able to help or survive in a TW since my RL friend and I are planning to make a guild eventually focused on TW and other kinds of PvP.

    No class can survive in TW during the attack/defend part. You will most likely die. There's no getting around that. You want to live long enough, though, to do something in battle.

    fist/claw sucks in beginning but really picks up at later levels
    in tw they need ur crits to disable mages but archer prolly does better.
    in dungeons , you prolly leecher
    soloing sucks
    but ull win most 1v1 vs melee
    swords are okay really the middle build?
    it can knockback i think
    spear has cool animation
