tons of sword bms?

As you can see , swords att 2/10 faster then an axe. by using an axe , your demage will be random such as 10- 30. Sword is more of an middle weapon like from 15-25. people use swords cuz they don't want random demage. Axe is also good in later lvls. Also sword is good for pk and axe is mainly for aoe in tw and grind on melees mob. b:victory

Axes do outdamage swords. Especially at high levels. You may see more WR using swords at lower levels but higher up, 80+, most are Axe spec. Axes do more damage and level 10 times faster.

You don't AoE attack everyone. The trick to it is to pull only 2 or 3 creatures at a time. It's still manageable at that point in terms of damage you're taking and dealing and if you can survive and not max yourself out. Especially this is true when you get all your AoE attacks and can deal damage to every enemy you aggro continuously. they fall quickly because of the high damage and it takes less time.

You'll burn through mana quickly, but you'll level 2-4 times faster than a sword bm or an archer taking on 1 at a time.

Just from what I found, but I can go through 2-4 rounds of killing 3 mobs on a full mana bar, then a simple 570 coins for almost a full bar. The drops much more than compensate for the coins spent.

Perhaps I'm just silly for using pots, but in all honesty I've found Pots+AMP+AGB+DS able to sustain me very reasonably through hours of grinding without ever being in risk and getting a few percent every few minutes.

Granted this may/will probably change later on at higher levels, but through the mid-levels this seems to be very effective.

Granted, my vitality is a bit low.

AoEing 3 mobs at a time is a huge waste no matter how you look at it. If you're an Axe WR you should be able to handle at least 6 at a time if you do things correctly. If you can't, you are either on mobs that are too high level and not efficient, or you need updated weapons. If you watch the video I linked, that WR only uses 1 or 2 pots every 2 pulls. Fast and cheap.

You don't need to switch to axes. Its all preference. Axe WR is just the fastest solo leveler past 60. If you read the guide sticked on this forum, Lyndora recommends getting a few levels of Axe AoE spells if you aren't axe, and you can still do decent AoE grinding. Late game, Axe and Spear are the 2 best choices for both PvP and PvE however. Sword is ok, but Spear is better. Fist is terrible. Pick whatever you have fun with, but if you don't get some Axe skills, leveling will be slow...at 90+ every WR will max at least 2 trees, sometimes 3. At that point in the game, you have more than enough SP to train everything. What limits you is your build, which determines what grade weapons you will be able to wield.

3-6 mobs is a waste.

For AoE trainning you should focus on 12~15+ mobs:

And I'm not even Axe BM. I don't use potions, I use charm, but even the 15~30k of charm per hour is a low cost for the amount of experience and money you get.

Spear is not as fast as Axe when it comes to train, but it's indeed pretty close to it.

So you're saying I should focus AoE-ing on fb39?

so pretty much no mattar what u start out as u'll end up switching to axes late game? if thats true than can u actualy max more than one skill tree?

I reckon that you do what you believe in. **** those Axer and AOE Wannabes. They are just bunch of game followers who don't find out solutions. They just know how to make bunch of assumptions and throw out all the arguements without actually reach that level, or gain enough experience how to pk or duel.

There are many factors in this game affecting performance of your character. For example, the armors, shards you have chosen to use, and your stats, and your own pk or duel strategy. This game is very balanced from my experience. There is only best player instead of best weapon. Players who always convince others to choose best weapon, apparently, they are just bunch of Noobs.
