U recommend fist bm?

There are like 5 posts about Fist BMs just on the first page if you don't want to search for the 30903263 posts about them.

As a class (meaning fist only) it is not a recommended weapon path.

It is better as a sidearm weapon, or when used with the other weapons. There may be a few people that disagree with me, but in every example video of a fist user "owning" they have also used other weapons.

For some guidance about which weapon path you should choose, take a look at Lyndura's guide which is stickied.

Fist BMs are the worst type of BM cuz they depend on evasion too much. Even though it can be handy against archers it still wont let u kill an archer and other classes will own u easily.

NOTE: Barbs and other BMs wont own you cuz it will be a charm **** for both you and them. (pointless fight)

Once and for all there are no ''types'' of blademasters , there are just people leveling different skill trees first - you'll ALL eventually have the same skills and for god's sake it's been said a thousand times don't go fist until lvl 90+.

Short answer - no.

fists is a good weapon for pve in 1V1. You can get the highest dps on normal attack as mobs stay next to you.

For this to happen you must add shards, mighty rings and refines.

I still recomend to get drakebash from axes to help on stunning.

Hi first time posting for me
Other then that i find fist bm fine in the low lvls, lvling is hard and questing is slightly harder but ive managed to get along fine
I may rely on evasion too much becuz i use the build 5dex/4str/1vit
thats just my build and its working fine against other people
(just my opinion b:shocked)

I use fists for questing / bosses and axes for grinding. Fists for questing because they often make you kill mobs that use magic, which means you can't AoE them. Fist users rely just as much on your physical defense as axe users, and not so much on dodge, because hitrate / dodge don't really mean much in PvE it seems. Level 76 now and added just enough stats for lvl 70 axes and lvl 80 fists, I'm going pure vit for the rest until lvl 90, where I'll restat once I get my new gear

There may be one or two fist BMs on Lost City that would be considered "terrors" in PVP. I watched Ashlynn from CQ tear apart an entire party in SP a few days ago and she was wearing Buddha: Peace fists (HH90 Golds if I'm not mistaken)


In general, though, Fist BMs are at a colossal disadvantage when it comes to PVP. They hit the 70s and realize that their evasion means jack **** when facing melees with Misty Forest Rings or any archer with half a brain.

my build is 3 str 2 dex which accomodates all weapons and heavy armor ( the event +45 vit tome will fix my hp issues which arent that big though :P). from my experience chaining Heavens Flame (axe ultimate skill) with spark then a fist weapon = RRAAAAPPPPPPPEEEEEEE b:dirty b:dirty

When vit bm and barbs walk up to me and tell me i have a **** build i shove it back down their throat and out their asses and dare em to say that again b:chuckle b:chuckle

2 things on accepting fist BM advice:

If they have a non-BM avatar that is high lvl as their icon, take what they say with a grain of salt. It's usually regurgitated information or just what they've seen of someone else's build. And since many BMs don't even understand them, it's at best hearsay and therefore junk.

Anyone saying fist BMs rely on evasion to work. They really have no idea what they are talking about, since they are generalizing fist BMs as just one build type when there are 2 very distinct builds; one being high dex the other high strength. And high strength uses heavy armor and has the same or more strength as axe BMs or barbs.

Just 2 things to keep in mind when reading through comments on fist BMs. Most BMs don't understand them; and the non-BMs who post really have no idea what they are talking about for the most part.
