Fist BM, 4dex-1vit-5str.

I'm a 76 fist BM, and I didn't use that build. But let me tell you right now, fists SUCK pre-70.

Go swords until you have to choose, then go axes, from axes at 70 re-stat to fists. it will save you SO much time you won't even believe it.

But on the build, ya it's fine, only problem is that you might face low HP in the beginning causing you to die a lot more. Also I suggest, ONLY A SUGGESTION, Minimum dex for weapon, cap vit at 50, rest into str. As a fist BM you'll want as much dmg as possible. Go for +str equips, and for your fists socket them with +attack shards of the highest magnitude you can afford.

Also for skills on the fist tree, get these:
lvl 1 shadowless kick
Max Cyclone heel

THAT'S ALL
If anyone tells you otherwise they are wrong.
for the main tree of skills, look at Lynduras guide as into what to max.

Also, Spark Eruption is your BEST FRIEND.

By pure Fist I take it you mean pure dex, right?b:question If so that would require you to wear LA(i.e. Light Armor)...which has the stat reqs of 1 str and 1 dex per lvl leaving 3 free points you could go like this(these are per 2 lvlsb:mischievous):5dex 3str(or 4), and 2vit(or 1); 6dex, 2str(or 3), 2vit(or 1).
I use the first one till lvl 53 I think, then just switched to HA(Heavy Armor) for TT and Fbsb:sin....planing to switch bk to LA at 70 thoughb:cool

With thta build you'll be fine, just do what I said and you'll be A-OK

Said where?

i'm a level 46 BM right now,

My build was enough stats just to wear my weapon, and the rest to vit.

I've been able to pk most ppl within 5 levels of me.. and actually beat a level 59 wizzy the other day.

Make sure you max out all your defense buffs, Sutra, Roar, Bleed and Later on,
Shadowless, and Cyclone. I also stupidly put skills to stream strike which is an absolute waste, and i'm maxing out my ocean spray. I find with the bad range of fisters, ppl running away is a pain in the butt, so that extra slow is pretty nice, and its good instant damage just for when you really need to finish off the guy.

Hey Harukie, they way I built up my FistMaster was putting all points into dex and only enough into str to wear heavy armor. So far, its fairly balanced out to hit hard enough and to crit a lot, Str is at 167 and Dex is at 188.

Well I'm here to tell you your wrong. Fist BM damage is not based on STR, but on DEX. Put only enough DEX for weapon and rest into STR and VIT and you will have LOWER damage, not higher. And if you don't believe me, hover your mouse over the DEX stat on your character screen. It tells you DEX = more fist damage. b:pleased

Say no to drugs. I've got a lvl 46 fister who has never earned extra dmg when putting points into dex, only when I increase strength. Try looking at your char screen again. Str says increases physical melee and physical defense; dex increase physical ranged. And we don't throw our gloves at the mobs

You dont notice but you both are saying the same thing.b:laugh

Notice, he is saying. just to add enough DEX to wear weapon and rest to STR and VIT. So, he is not adding extra dex.

Which pretty much is different than what other do (like me), which is add enough STR to wear Heavy Armor and rest to DEX and VIT.

No, they're not. In no way is saying, "Increase STR to increase damage", and, "increase DEX to increase damage", remotely compatible. Bloodmist is simply stating that if you only put in enough Dex to use your weapon, you'll have lower damage. He's wrong--terribly, egregiously wrong, and possibly snorting magical white fairy dust cut with baking soda.

However, he is mentioning to put minimum Dex to use weapon. He is not saying to add extra points on dex to increase damage.

What I understand is that if you don't put minimum dex, you will use a lower level fists weapon and as result doing less damage.

Still, though he should say it in a different way though.

Is it safe to assume that English is not your first language? I wholly understand the confusion if this is the case, however, this quote makes abundantly clear how mind-numbingly wrong Bloodmist is:





No, he isn't. He's saying "put minimum DEX on a weapon, and your damage will be lower"; cause and effect.

Yes pretty safeb:laugh. English is my second language

but what does he mean on this:

"Also I suggest, ONLY A SUGGESTION, Minimum dex for weapon, cap vit at 50, rest into str"

I'm Shootz.

And BTW Dex only gives dmg bonus to bows, NOT fists.
More Str = More DMG with fists.
