    Only play Blade if you enjoy having a handicap.

    It's better to focus on what you -want- to play. Games are made for enjoying yourself, not following a mold. If you wanna play an archer, go ahead. This game has a pretty good balance of classes, at least from what I've seen in Lost city.

    No, just no one has been smart enough to figure out how to make it work. Regardless if you build yourself to take out certain classes then you WILL take out certain classes. Don't listen to tards.

    You'll be a little handicapped, but just learn to play your char and you will do better than 80% of the server.

    Pole is quite good, a close second to axes imo.
    And, basically, yeah. Best tip I can give is time your stuns, know when to use them.

    Woot another pole!! I'm a pole, and I love it.


    Pole is very very good, and I consider it to be very balanced. Its like the mid point between axes and swords. Very flexible in terms of stats, as you can add more Dex. For stuns, I know there's 1 or two stuns unique to pole...and a couple more from the general tree. Pole is all about maximizing your range and using your bleeds. If you can do that, while timing the stuns you have, you will own. Of course, the majority of ppl don't do that, so practice practice practice :D! IGN is Shonindayo if you happen to be in lost city

    Hell yeah, Lost city is the s**** :D

    What level are you? I though that in PvP you wanted spike damage over bleed.

    What skills should I get, and what to max?

    Well for poles, you're skills aer mostly dmg+bleed skills. Combined with maximizing your range and timing your stuns, no one will be doing much of anything but bleeding to death. Its very difficult of course, but thats the idea. Poles also get leaps that allow them to go back or forward great distances. Played correctly, it is a GGkthxbai sort of 1v1 class. You even get some linear AoEs to spice things up.


    As of now I am level 34. Again, Shonindayo. There are two really good guides on poles, so let me dig them up and I'll get back to you with an edit.

    I think ive been able to make Dual Sword BM work pretty well actually. it isnt the fastest weapon but it is faster then dual axes and if they are 3 star or so then they can deal quite a bit of damage. Combined with Aeolian Blade and Roar of pride for stun it can do pretty well. I mostly use the same build for sword classes in most games once i figure out their damage rank area and game mechanics and etc. Once you look ahead into other servers or etc. you can figure out how certain builds work . Though I did switch from axe recently. Problem with axes is if you dont have the proper vt their skills can become dangerous if your not into too much AoE because they can end up attracting un wanted attention if you are attacking one monster.

    Though feel free to correct me for any mistakes or if Im wrong or something.

    Pole Bms are pretty good too especially since they have a bit more attack range. Though Question i rarely see anyone using club till you get to rapcious mace. Is it because it is the only wep that actually looks like a scythe?

    Combination of weapons if you don't want to use Axes.
    I was going to post a reply... then I realized, you would likely reply in anger and insult me, to which I'd most likely respond with a wittier comment or slay you with a macro and then, onlookers, seeing that comments had been made, would interpret the traffic as interest, thus earning you attention you don't deserve for your **** post. So, when you DON'T see a comment from me, THAT is me saying "FAIL" in a much more effective manner.
