So I just found out about PW today, and I have been doing some looking around. For my first character I want to go as a Blademaster, but the weapon I actually want to use are Halberds. Anyway, do Halberds fall under Spears or Pole Axes? I know most games categorize them as Polearms but I'm a little confused on this...

Also, what is a good hybrid PvP/PvE build for Halberds? I plan on participating in both. Anything I should pay attention to in particular?

    i think if you are using halberds you should go in spears, becuz they are the long-range type for warriors (bah not really that long) but here:

    SPEARS: Another amazing Blademaster sub-class. Due to powerful distance skills, and a variety of linear AoEs, spears are very valuable in war, and powerful for pk. Due to the AGI required for spears, you will have more HP than a pker/wargoing axer, but you will have to line up your targets so that you can use your linear AoE properly. When in the right hands, a spear Blademaster is a truly formidable force - a presence that people on a field of battle are unlikely to miss.

    The build for a pk Spear-user is simply enough STR and AGI to wear heavy armour and your spear, and for the remainder to be used in CON.

    For war... you MIGHT want to put AGI up to a blader's level. I don't personally recommend it, but if you can't get LingYun rings then you might need to.

    Spear
    Stats every 2 lvl
    5 str 3 agi 2 con
    Armour: Heavy and light
    Pros: Long range, good for pvp
    Cons: average hp, defends, attk, attk speed
    Skills:
    Offense
    Tiger Strike lvl1 ps. Useless
    Short Burst lvl1
    Stream Strike lvl 5
    Aeolian Strike lvl 10
    Dragon Emerge lvl 10
    RockRive Slash lvl 10
    Frantic Draco Slash lvl 10
    Cleaving Splash lvl 10
    Lion Roar lvl 10
    Spear skills all 2 lvl 10
    Defense:
    Auric Shield Defense lvl 10
    Muscle Ameliorate lvl 5 or above
    Marrow Ameliorate not sure
    Diamond Sultra lvl5 or above
    Others
    Cloud Sprint suggest lvl 10
    Stroll lvl 1

    THOSE SKILLS SHOULD NOT BE FOLLOWED TO THE WORDS, YOU SHOULD TEST THEM YOURSELF! AND AS YOU SEE BOOST THE POLEARM ROW SKILLS!

    I. SPEAR WARRIOR

    ---All-around Build---

    every odd level: +3 str/+1 agi/+1 con
    every even level: +2 str/+1 agi/+2 con
    *every 10th level after 20 (level 30, 40, 50, etc.): +2 str/+2 agi/+1 con

    so for example, you should look like this:

    level 1: str - 5, agi - 5, con - 5
    level 2: str - 7, agi - 6, con - 7
    level 3: str - 10, agi - 7, con - 8
    level 4: str - 12, agi - 8, con - 10
    level 5: str - 15, agi - 9, con - 11
    level 6: str - 17, agi - 10, con - 13
    level 7: str - 20, agi - 11, con - 14
    level 8: str - 22, agi - 12, con - 16
    level 9: str - 25, agi - 13, con - 17
    level 10: str - 27, agi - 15, con - 18
    ...
    level 20: str - 52, agi - 26, con - 32
    level 30: str - 77, agi - 37, con - 46

    ---Long Blade/Mace Build---

    every odd level: +3 str/+1 agi/+1 con
    every even level: +2 str/+1 agi/+2 con

    so for example, you should look like this:

    level 1: str - 5, agi - 5, con - 5
    level 2: str - 7, agi - 6, con - 7
    level 3: str - 10, agi - 7, con - 8
    level 4: str - 12, agi - 8, con - 10
    level 5: str - 15, agi - 9, con - 11
    level 6: str - 17, agi - 10, con - 13
    level 7: str - 20, agi - 11, con - 14
    level 8: str - 22, agi - 12, con - 16
    level 9: str - 25, agi - 13, con - 17
    level 10: str - 27, agi - 14, con - 19
    ...
    level 20: str - 52, agi - 24, con - 34
    level 30: str - 77, agi - 34, con - 49
