    there one high lvl fist user i know of, Ashylnn from CQ @_@

    She 95+ now i dont know, but she runs around with a spear now from what i can tell....wonder why that is

    I was never a axe BM, i used spear and sword and trying to kill another heavy class with charm is hard without heaven flame (lvl59 axe skill). Killing other class is easy. Acc pots for archers, arcane users just die after being stunned and since axe have more hp usually surviving phoenix is alot easier so b:bye

    Lol, you still play?

    But yeah, now he/she is using Spear and Heavy Armor, at least that is what CQ TW videos show.


    And lol @ the level 70 fist user.

    Archers get DAMAGE from DEX, you do not. Even if you have a 26% critical hit chance, low damage = low crits.

    Attack speed + low crits + low damage = overall crappy damage.

    The problem is that your damage is based on time, for example, let's say it takes from 10 to 12 seconds to deal certain amount of damage (considering criticals, etc). With that, the opponent can easily counter your DPS using potions, multiflavors, powders, charm, skills, triple spark, etc.

    So even if they resist only 2~3 seconds, your DPS gets seriously affected and you will have to start over again (which means cooldowns, etc), because those seconds are good enough to let charm tick again.

    And using one grade lower armor, is...yeah, like using full HH80 set at level 9x. You will understand once you get there.

    apparently you failed to realize that BMs get more evasion and accuracy from archers each point i suppose? b:chuckle
    It depends on the build/gears, not the weapon. Also, people who carry those things for PVP are just wasting it, making them automattically weaker by default, unless the other uses too. But why waste money on PVP? You say fists are bad due to pot/charm/elixir users in PVP. I think you can't fight without your precious stuff lol, hope u don't run out of those.

    Fists are the best weapon to chose imo, I don't need a charm or i can just regen chi really fast.

    Yeah BMs get more evasion and accuracy than archers from dex, but evasion only helps against half the classes. Also everybody uses pots/charms for pvp. You can call them weak or whatever but in the end you're the one on the ground dead because you're too "special" to use pots and charms. It's an advantage, and people use whatever advantages they can get.

    you are kind of right but that works in pve but not in pvp as in PVP, players use skills to hit you rather than normal attacks.

    They will still miss you a good chunck but still you will not out dps by using normal attacks. you will be hitting with skills to be able to bring people down.

    *facepalm* You're missing the frigging point! >.< If Blademasters get more dex per point they don't HAVE to spec as much dex to get the same results!!!! DUH! And you know, even if you do put it that way it's not as much about the accuracy so much as it is the CRITICAL STRIKE RATE, which is what a fist user needs to deal even more damage along with their speed. And can anyone guess what you need for your critical strike rating to go up? *shock* dexterity, there you go. That was SO hard to figure out.

    .


    kk 1 phrase you claim you dont need as much dex as an archer for the same result (duh you said) and that was the point, yet you claim you need all the dex you need to get your crit rate up, try making sense please?



    also, do you know any really high 8x or 9x berzerk fists? cause if not, axe build + GX still has more crit rate than you. zerk is a 15% (or 20) chance to do double dmg, that translates to 15% crit rate just from the weapon, not counting the base crit rate your char may have, you may say fists hit faster, but if you believe you can kill really good people with auto attacks with the weakest weapon....wow

    Okay, also, my point in having enough Str left for a downgraded heavy armor is because I gear for the situation. If I'm gonna be going up against mobs that are caster mobs, I wear light, if I'm going against something with a physical blow, I wear heavy, hell, sometimes I wear a mix and I even have it set so I can switch out my armor set in 2 seconds if I need to. Also the point is that even a level 60 heavy has more physical resistance than a level 90 light armor. SO! Are you paying attention? I normally wear the heavy set since the only things that seem to really attack me while I'm out grinding is a barbarian, an Archer, or another BM, usually one of the meathead axe users. Soooo, should I speak slowly for you here?

    .



    yeah cause we all know a fist BM needs to lower his str to wear LA..............dude you're **** im axe and i can wear both the highest lvl of heavy and LA, though i dont wear LA, why? because i still got more mag def than any LA, we are BMs, make use of our tools



    btw, if your main armor is LA, and you like auto attacks that much just go roll an archer tbh, because then you are no better than a melee archer...wooooo scary -.-

    I have very high evasion, very high accuracy, high DPS, and decent defense. melee attackers miss me a lot and then even when they do hit me I don't take much damage.

    Oh, and Blademasters aren't technically a tanking class. Yes, they can wear heavy, yes, they can have a lot of hp and pysical def, and YES, they CAN tank things if speced to tank. However, if blademasters were meant to be a primarily tanking class, we would have more moves that increase threat levels, stuns don't count. So far as I know, we only have one and it doesn't really work that well.

    Funny that you should even mention the diversity in the BM category since you seem to really think that an axe is the only way to go.

    And you want to see a high level PvP fist? Just wait until I get there and you'll see it.



    kk so we arnt a tanking class but we can reach 12.5k hp and 15k phy def and 7k mag res at 9x and do have a aggro skill, gotcha


    and i mentioned the deversity saying it didnt exist anymore, now who needs to read?


    as for you not taking much dmg from a heavy, yeah no ****, but last time i checked we dont kill heavies with phy attacks, oh look i can dodge more!....oh thunderstorm never misses...sadly



    and if you yourself a fist BM cant name me one high fist BM thats really good and all you can say is *wait until i lvl* then i rest my case

    Seriously People, whats with all the fist hate?
    Every weapon can be used effectively in any aspect of the game be it PvE/PvP
    It just takes skill, timing and creativity!......and well ( ingame $$b:laugh, to fund all your equips^^) A fister(clawer@.@) Can be very deadly in PvP very...but the same can be said about any other class :O
    People who say that one weapon is TEH ONLY WAY are idiots(pardon meb:sad) every weapon rocks^^.....I myself cant see me using swords(i dont like how they look But they are very useful^^) But I use every other weap :p.

    And to the people that put down LA users and any other exotic build/char, remember it is only a game o.o
    People like to have fun experimenting with different things^^
    Some are very good when they find their "groove" (i always wanted to say that =3)

    And besides if you think the only way for a BM is HA and only that you're wrong :p, for fisters (can work for swords too o.o) HA/LA mix for TT 99 gear is very awesome o.o....awesome attack rate+ Demon spark....well..b:pleased b:cool.
    Ooh I was going to forget.....for the axe users that say people will kite fisters and such...the same thing can be applied to you =D the only ones that do have kind of an equal ground with Kiters are Spear/sword users o.o.....thus why Multipathing is so awesome O.O

    All weapons are special, but i think its really silly to waste charms/pots like that. But one using pots/charm against the one not using pots is kinda wasting money there. Even though I'm not a PVPer, but it would be hard to win if that person decides to use pots when he's dying before u and he potted. But if both uses them, its survival of the fittest from money, whoever run out of pots/charms first loses, or whoever surpasses the pots/charms win.
    So yeah b:surrender

    There are possibly tricks that can work to make fists do as much damage as skill spamming tricks.
    spark > drakes breath bash + spark (genie) > relentless courage

    I really want to test it out at LVL59

    I made this thread as 5x as a joke, which you have all taken out of hand.

    After getting my XS +4 my dps has gone through the roof, I have zerked 4-5 times on a normal mob.

    Heavens flame makes the dps of my entire squad rocket as well.

    I have maxed out a 26k crit + zerk.

    And what can I say, I have a horse shoe up my **** and I crit + zerked and 1 shot a cleric who had 88 vit :)
    All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring.

    well, what I can say is that a fist user must make sure opponent remaines i range.

    My suggestion is to use drake bash from axes, roar of the pride and some skills from genie to freeze, inmobilize, ect.

    Otherwise, people will kite you.

    an advantage you have as fists user is that your skills are quick casting compared to axes.

    Kiters can be countered (definately on ground) with cloud's spirit, unless if that kiter have genie's holy path. Against mobs that kite i can just pop in cloud's spirit or drakes bash. Increased movement speed can be the answer unless if its flight i think b:cold

    The OP thinks axes are only good because of the AOE, but spears are good AOE too, (liner AOE) not only that, range as well. As for a blademaster (why aren't fists on barbs!? Its not even a blade! b:cry then again the requirements are way too high anyways b:sad) All weapons are good, thank goodness for genie, I can just LVL every single skill from EXP sinking myself. Done that to him and my BM and I can just use any weapon i want instead of going "axe BM" or "fist BM" I just want a BM (if there were fist/claw skills on barbs instead of BMs this one would never use them because barbarians should get the right b:cry
