    His build is right. You need 3dex per 2 lvl to use sword.

    @op: Beware of low hp. That's probably the only reason why people don't want you. I use this build and I'm able to do most, if not all, of the bm activites

    You can BUT it's expensive.

    Most people don't want to spend that much on refine and hp shards until lvl90. But if you have the money....

    I have a high-dex axe build (vit is nowhere near good by itself) which is about the same build (I can use swords/pike, just choose not to.) As such, I have to buy armor that makes up for it (my armor adds vit+ 32 or something), and that's not cheap. sure is fun to destroy sword users though (although fist users could still mop the floor with me normally if I don't stun on all 3 skills)

    Most bm party functions require you to use axe.

    There will be some things that you can't do with sword. However You can get into most party, but axe is prefer because it's safer.

    The build works fine, I capped out my vit at 50 by level 60 (took a penalty of 2-3 levels to use the latest axes which has no real effect on your characters progression) having 50 vit allows me to do everything a BM normally does and at 80 I was able to equip HH80 gold axes with no problems (was 64 for HH60 and 72 for HH70)

    Generally go 50 vit by 60, then sword requirements for 60 and everything else into ST, and then just keep upping DX to meet sword requirements in the last few levels before hitting the next 10 (ie 70,80,90)

    If you stick with your build, and gear yourself properly, your HP will not be an issue.

    You will prolly find your Axes to be more useful in TW and dungeons though. Using swords while your questing and grinding.

    I say that, because the Radial AOE's and the possible stun locks that The axes give you, are what most other players will expect from you in dungeons and TW. And in most cases, in both of those instances your dealing with multiple targets and the Axes are geared towards that.

    The Swords tend to be geared toward single targets.

    Good luck
    Don't let my level confuse you. I've done this before.

    The build Omega posted is the correct build. For every 2 levels, Axes need 6 str; swords need 3 dex. That leaves 1 point free. o.o

    The build works, and I am one of them (Main sword, Sub Axe) I have no problem wearing max Sword/Axe/Armor, and I still have great hp. Never had any problem getting into parties, because I can dps with single sword, and switch to axes when needing a extra stun, or to aoe a group of mobs to protect the casters.
