Hi everyone! Well, I had a question about my blademaster build and general ideas for the future.

1)My build is 2str 2dex 1vitality (a), and then 3 str 2dex (b), alternating every time I level. so basically if the first input of stat points is "a" and the second is "b" my levels go: ababab etc is this a good build for dual blades? other builds would be appreciated.

2)Also, should I stay with dual blades, or are other weapons better? Plus, in combination with the weapons You guys recommend, what kind of build should I use if I wanna use heavy armor? Oh, and, is heavy armor good, or are others better in general?

3) What monsters should I train on at lower levels (up to lvl 20, let's say)

4) Which quests do you guys recommend?

Alright, thanks in advance for any help, and happy hunting :D

    1) OMG OMG READ THE GUIDES!
    2)OMG OMG READ THE GUIDES! The weapon is YOUR CHOICE everyone of them are unique in its own way, choose according you style of fighting and do not try to copy cat other becuz it will only mess you up!
    3)KILL ALL THE MONSTERS IN THE QUESTS!!! Later on kill flying monsters becuz they give more xp, of course after you get flying sword at lvl 30.
    4)DO ALL QUESTS, because you'll need the reputation given by them, even the solo task becuz they give fragment of celestial stones, which when combine give a celestial stone which you can get either human stone and heaven stones or use them for refining your weapon ( REALLY RECOMMEND THE SECOND option)!!

    ok here a little help :

    AXES: This is the best build for a "Blade"master, surprisingly. Axes have the best levelling speed, due to AoE attacks, out of all the other sub-classes. In addition, they also have the best defence and attack power. In pk, skill speed rules rather than weapon speed, so don't be fooled into thinking that axes are slow... they're equally as fast as the other class's weapons. Due to this, and the Axe's third stun, an axe Blademaster can lock a person in a perpetual state of stun. Accuracy can be increased with rings of LingYun to godly amounts, and dodge rate doesn't matter anyways. At level 90, when you get the "Ironheart" axe, you will be unstoppable.

    The build for a pk Axer is enough STR to wield your axe, anough AGI to wield a spear, and everything leftover to CON.

    For territorial war, you may want to put your AGI high enough for blades.

    __________________

    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.

    __________________

    BLADES: This type of Blademaster is the, without a queston, best damage-dealer Blademaster in a 1v1. They have the highest damage output against bosses, and in fair pk/duels due to amazing skills, and weapon speed(for bosses). At leve 90, the golden Dragon Blade is a testiment to the Blademaster's awesomeness... You will hit so hard and fast, you'll probably laugh at yourself out of pride. However, you'll have less HP than a spear or axe Blademaster, and less defensive power. Due to a l ack of AoE skills, you are less than wanted for Territorial War, and in PK, you won't be as effective as a spear or axe Blademaster.

    For a pk build, you need enough STR to wear heavy armour, enough AGI for your sword, and the rest to CON. Accuracy problems are solved with rings, and pills.

    __________________

    FISTS: This is actually a bad class. Damage-dealing is good, but a Blader will do better. The high-required AGI for fists is good, but a Blader will still do a better AGI-type build. Fists at this point have few advantages... Dodge rate is totally gimp-tarded in this game, and accuracy is acquired in many ways other than AGI. I strongly un-recommend(lol) this class...

    However, if you feel the need to be different, then a fist weapon will do that.

    they are good with pvps too, they don't kill as fast as others but i say there kill more effectively since they can stun once att stun again attack and hope a chance to stun with aeolin strike and attk which kills pretty fast and they are pretty powerful, they just level the fastest cuz they best with pve. the axe build goes for both pvp and pve. the thing is that if u fight really stong monsters or mobs your ganna need the 50 hp and 50 mp thing per second for 10 minutes. i prefer blades though the quickest killers, me and my buddies have fun with this combo on the malaysian version we have a 2axe and 1sword bm and cleric and archer and we pawn a group of bm, bard, ven and cleric that like 5-15 levels higher than us/ easy
