Blade Masters(BM)

Since sword is heavy dex and axe is heavy str, to be able to wear both of your level, youd have rather low hp.

I reccomend going axe/pole for max aoe ability OR pole/sword for max pvp.

Since pole is the median for str and dex, you can use either combo and still have good hp.

be like everybody and use axes or be unique by using any other lol.

that...was a suprisingly fast answer..alright..so..i prefer the swords but the axes are better...like going swords for lowers lvls...and then axes and such for higher lvls like you sugested? being able to use both?

the easiest path is axes. this is why:

1v1, 1vmultiple, pvp, tw, zhen, ect. is all solved by AOE. which means axes. IMO there is no challenge at all.


However, if you want a challenge you can pick other weapons as they are more difficult. The ones who do not know how to use them, say that those weapons sucks and they dont, they just meant to be played in a different way.


you can also be hybrid like me, this way you use several weapons among axes (I even use a bow). You need axes for the aoe. You can then use other weapons for situations in which axes are not the best (btw, this is sacriledge according to axes users as they think axes are the best in any situationb:chuckle)

So, you know hybrid is probably the funniest bm out there, as you have the right answer for every situation given. Useless skills (useless as per axes guysb:chuckle, since they only undertand AOE) become very good when they are combined with other skills from other weapons.


Saying that, either hybrid or any single path aside from axes is way more challenging and requires more from you to make it work and ignorance from other bms and other players is a challenge of its own too as you have to play with them.

BTW the most axes you use, the most likely to ignore the benefits of the other weappons. I think a 5 year old can get to level 105 using axes. you cannot say the same with other weapons.

i really don't think going hybrid is a smart move in the lower to mid levels because you won't have enough spirits to level the required skills, so you'd be **** in both/all areas, instead of decent in one path.

i have a lvl 37 axe bm, and i am having a major hard time trying to see which skill i really need to level and which ones i don't need right now, cause there really isn't enough at this stage.

however, i don't think i'll go dual path, axe and polearm later when i have more sp and free money

I really dislike your "Holier than all" attitude towards axes.
There is a difference between something that's easier / harder and something that is stupid.

Example: A single weapon tree path of swords for pvp. Bad.
Axes aren't "easy mode" They simply offer the most off one tree path.
Just because you want to be different (Which is a plus in my book anyone who branches out is + points in my book.) Doesn't make you a better player.

Warriors have enough stacked against them (Low damage, Defense skills ruining other defense while boosting, non-ranged) People who take first path as axes still have alot of things against them.

Lastly no matter what tree path or build. You're not a better pvper because you kill people. Goes with axes > fist > spear > sword. Takes skills to pvp no matter what weapon. There is no easy mode for warriors.

I think... You can use both weapons. Axes are stronger than swords. But swords are the basic weapons of blademasters.
For attribute points, it is different. Everything depends on the chosen weapon (because a weapon of higher level needs a special number of points) but for blademasters, the strength and the vitality are preferable. Magic isn't important, you are a blademaster after all... And dexterity is for archer, not for blademaster (if you needs it for your weapon, naturally, you can have some).
For me, swords, strenght and vitality are necessary because of my weapon.

That is all.

Goodluck.

going hybrid does not mean getting all skills from every weapon or having all masteries at the same level ect.

being hybrid means to get a main path and get what you are lacking for your BM from other weapons. for you to do that you will realize that you only need to have some skills to level 1.

Your main for instance could be axes and you should get shadowless kick and cyclone heel from fists. Again for this you only need level 1 in each.

your main could be fists and you should get drakebash from axes and when you can get all the regular AOE.

Again there are many ways to do this to make it work. In my case, I picked sword, fists and axes.

Agreed, but having all masteries is a must coz if ur a fist u should realize ur BASE str isnt that high compared to axe so having a 60% increase would really be helpful but u dont need to stress urself to get all the masteries at the same time go first with ur main then to the u think u will use most.

You can use both at higher levels, but first just pick one. Axes have an extra stun, and have more aoe skills but I'd pick sword first, since I think dex is more important at lower levels. After you have plenty of extra spirit points start leveling axe skills :]

if u play a bm there ius never extra spirit pooint actually

what r fistes like in use of blademaster
