I'm just starting out and haven't chosen a real path yet.

I know i'm not going to do any PVP -at all-, so what's a good choice for purely PvE...

oh and I'm a blademaster, I didn't really make that clear

    Go Axes, Go Axes, Go axes, Go axes.

    However, if you want to have fun aside from AOE, go fists/sword and a bow and only use axes for grinding.b:victory

    Yeah, axes are the best for AoEing.

    Swords/blades for PvP

    Fists are good at PvP, but preferred for PvE typically.


    (Go Sword/Bladesb:victory)

    PvE, pure PvE. Go Fists ^^

    With swords, most of your attacks are going to be normal attacks, you will usually find yourself using less skilled attacks. Swords work very well with just general PvE.

    With a sword build, you have the chance to have more VIT. a (5str/3dex/2vit build compaired to a 5/4/1 or 5/5 build for fists)

    Fists are fast, with fists your relying on your high dex to get you lots of evasion and more crits.

    But, with a 5str/4dex/1vit build, you would have the chance to use both fists and swords

    Swords ultimate is a very nice skill. Myriad sword stance does serious damage and should not be over looked.

    With either weapon path, I would consider carrying a bow if you have the inventory space though, with the lack of a full arsenal of AOE's it will give you the chance to pull a mob from a crowd, and kill one at a time.
    Don't let my level confuse you. I've done this before.

    Just remember the fist ult :). Adds like 80% wep dmg in fire attack to target for .... 10 seconds im thinking? or is it 15?

    Fists are Pure PvE, get them, be happy. Its cheaper to level(less skills used, just bleed and normal attack with random aoelian(or w/e) here and there ) more crits = more damage = better PvE(also fists have interupt skills so u can interupt the cast of a psn mob or slow or stun)

    Use Life Powders, not Potions, they are cheaper and last longer. u spend... 500 on a potion to heal like 700 hp, you spend 2.5k-4k on life powerder to increase hp regen by 50 for 10 mins(thats 13+ regen/second in combat which is like a potion)

    Totally agree with this. Life powders are great. And they are only a level 1 apo to make. Something like 10golden herbs and 15 nectars for 5 of them...If you take sometime to farm, they are well worth the effortb:victory
