Hello all ^_^.
I started a BM, and had this idea.
Since my BM is on a PVP server, I was going to use 2 weapons, Spear (pole) and dual axes/hammers.

I am currently level 20, and have (can't remember off the top of my head)
62(ish)STR 22 VIT and 27 Dex (With bonuses from equips)

I was wondering how to proceed. Right now I have 960(+/- 10) HP.

So I was thinking, how should I level now?

Options: (Per 2 levels)
1)6STR / 2Dex / 2VIT
2)5STR / 2DEX / 3VIT
3)5STR / 3DEX / 2VIT
Or anything that you can suggest.

Also, I am doing this because I heard that pole BMs have the best PVP damage, and ranged skills. And Dual Axes have highest spike damage, and stunlocking. So I want the best of both worlds.
Alternitively, my choice is to invest JUST as much DEX as I need to equip spears, and the rest into VIT/STR. If it matters, I also wear heavy armor.

Thanks for any input you guys have ^_~

    IMHO,
    Think you will end up running low on the HP end for PVP. Even PVE for that matter. The extremely high Str for your axes, is going to leave you little room for your HP after getting your Dex up enough. So you are going to in the end, run into where you will have to choose, between the Dex and Vit on your build. If you intend on using Spear, I think you will end up loosing out on the Vit to be honest. You can add HP stones to help make up for this, but little other options.

    Ahh, so you are probably right about the VIT part.
    So What I should do is do a 5/3/2 in terms of STR/VIT/DEX.
    I am at the level where (in terms of DEX) I will be able to use any spear as long as I add 1 DEX/LEVEL. The biggest problem now is how to allocate VIT v.s. STR. I'd Assume that HP is more imortant?.

    But according to the build guides, it says to allocate points to dex as well, I am somewhat confused o_O.
    Thanx

    I just do not see you being able to put the points in to Str ( for your axes ) Dex ( for your Spear ) and Vit ( for your HP ) till later in the game. You can add HP stones to help make up for the loss of Vit, but I am not certain it will be enough. I would suggest only that you focus on one or the other, and add the second later on ( lv 70+ ) when you are able to lower your Vit because of the added slots in your armor for HP stones. At your level, you go thru armor so quickly that I would not recommend it.

    When I played on the PVP My servers, I went more heavy on my PVP stats then PVE. Meaning less Str ( only enough for my armor ) and everything else into my Dex and Vit to allow for more HP as well as higher Dex. I was spear only tho. And PVP was easier then PVE by far because of my lower Str. Here is a guide that I posted from the older servers that a Spear Warrior used to teach me anyways.
    http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=193852

    And as I said, you will not be able to run both Axes and Spear with that build at all. Maybe later, if you want to back out some Vit.

    If you want the link to the orginal thread ( a lot of PVP discussion on it ) then I will post that too if you request.

    Going from Lyndura's stats, I'd say your build should be 3 str/1dex/1vit every level. o.o It's basically your first option, only we can simplify it to a build per level instead of 2 levels o.o

    All in all, looks quite doable. o.o Imo, Spirit/money costs for skills is going to be a far bigger concern that stats. o.o

    Thank you for all your informative replies ^_^.
    So If I wasto go for PVP (which is what I want), then I should go for the spear BM Guide (Thanks Taleon b:thanks). and I should follow the level guide that you have there:

    Str/Dex/Vit
    20)53 34 23
    21)55 35 25
    22)58 37 25
    23)60 38 27
    24)63 40 27
    25)65 41 29
    26)68 43 29
    27)70 44 31
    28)73 46 31
    ....

    Or should I modify it a little bit and add a bit to Vit from Str, and have just enought pts to equip heavy armor?
    PS: I have decided not to do axe/spear until later.
    Thanks again guys.
