Blademasters are underpowered Q_Q

I know I'm only in the 80's and I'm a pvp noob, but why in the world would an axe bm not use drake bash at all? b:scorn

From the sounds of it, and the description on the vid post, it seems like the Blademaster there was all talk and little actual skills. From the description, if it's to be taken at face value, his PvP experience seems to be on a PvE server, where he goes PK mode when it suits him - aka when he has people on his side that outnumber the person/people he's targeting.

But when going 1v1 his skills are proven to be lacking.

I wouldn't take this as a definitive sign to reroll Wizard. I personally enjoy the class, it's a lot of fun. But it's one of the hardest classes to slog through in the earlier levels, and an easier kill for most classes for the first huge chunk of the game. With the level cap where it is right now on the PWI servers, it ends just when the wizard comes into their own. That Wiz was level 111, beyond what we can currently reach here. Wiz is supposed to do very well in the 1xx levels but we can barely touch those here. So I wouldn't abandon your BM just yet ^x^

Don't let one battle, one person be your representation for an entire class at any point in the game.

Dueling really means nothing try a good balanced team.I get picked for dueling all the time but I refuse and say no.

That video made my eyes bleed =( Indeed you shouldn't really judge the entire ability of the class by one video. First off, as Lyndura mentioned, that looks to be a private server to me. Notice they were fighting within 1k Streams...last time I checked that was a safe zone @-@ unless someone can confirm that the area they were fighting within is indeed non-safe (and it's obviously not a duel, charms were ticking and there was no 'aura' at the two characters feet). Second the BM didn't seem to be stun locking the wizard, which is usually a common thing with an axe/hammer/poleaxe/polehammer BM, I rarely saw him use Roar, he never used Drake Bash. The only stun move I saw him attempt a few times was Aeolian blade, which even at rank 10 is the most unreliable of the three stun moves (though still a viable option if needed). In regards to the Leaps, BM's being a melee class are required to be in close quarters at almost all times (unless you've got Farstrike in the Polearm tree, in which case a Farstrike/Drake's Ray combo will work well enough til you can close the distance between you and your opponent), so leap back against any sort of ranged class, a magic user such as Wizards most of all, doesn't seem very viable for use, but Tiger leap definatly should be used to help close distance when Will of Bodi/Cloud sprint is on c/d. I'm no expert on PvP as a BM by far, but certain common sense things should be apparent to almost any and all players of the class. What skills to use, when, knowledge of when to lay down the big damage to burst through your opponents charm c/d, how to swap between weapons/skills and just general timing and what apothecary remedies to use should be more than enough to allow you to put up at least a good fight. In specific regards to BM's vs Wiz's, well every class has an anti-class that has advantages over them, and Wizards are more or less our anti-class (with archers in a close second) due to their range, and most importantly, the elemental damage they fling about is deadly to us heavy wearers >< as long as you give it your best go, if you lose, remember you can always get back up and go at him again =P

Make a Polearm BM xD. I just hit 30 and looked for a PK found a Barb and I wouldn't say I won because we never finished the fight but I ticked his Heiro 5 times, I didn't even have one and didn't even reach half health. He was lvl 39 too. I would've eventually lost though because my mana was way low after like 3 mins of fighting. But anyway, it was my first decent pvp experience. I have a lvl 55 wiz but never had that kind of success ever. The wiz I have also doesn't have his ultimates so that could be a big factor in how well it can PK.

What a sad strange little beast that was...

The WR's weapon wasn't normal either. He had the Poleaxe of Monarch Mind, the Rank 8 WR axe.

ok ok well then i guess the bm just sucks

plz unknown bm uninstall and stop embarassing us b:sad

is it just me or is that wiz's say hp say 14605 b:shocked i'd be scared of any wiz that much of hp

Seems more like the wiz just had better skills (game design wise). Notice he was able to seal the BM almost instantly whenever he tried to stun. From what I understand, the same move interrupts and cancels any attack. Also I would think it'd be pretty difficult to get chi if you can't land a hit on your opponent and spend most of your time running to your opponent. And when a target escapes quick enough, the BM will get stuck in a failed attack pose for a couple of seconds and end up wasting time/chi.

Even if he could stunlock, the wiz just had way too much def. All he could do is just make his charm tick over and over. Nevermind the debuff that makes him attack slower. Not using a berserk axe is a pretty dumb move though. Not using marrow is another too.

don't fret at the video, both persons involved fail at their class. all of his skills are holy, and i imagine the warriors skills were to their respective level as well. but to use this video as an example of warriors failing?

i know axe warriors aren't meant for pvp, but this guy should have killed that pitiful mage np.

At end game wrs are failure. No matter what anyone says, wrs really do suck. Especially with genies out now.

so.... why?

most warriors, namely swords and axes, fail at upper levels. that is, unless you're fighting low levels with half your gears/experience, then u might be ok.

If that warrior knew what the **** he was doing, that mage wouldn't have gotten a single sage sparked attack off. They both failed.
