So i've started up a new bm and i'm busy leveling him out of the lowbie levels and thought i'd come here for some advice on how to best grind.

Ideally, im looking for a low mana/low chi consumption combo while still dealing enough damage to avoid losing too much hp. Problem is, I'm not sure which weapon style to go with. I know axes has the most potential for aoe grinding at later levels, but for 1v1 grinding, which weapon is the best for quickly killing the mobs without taking up a full bar of mana?

    you want 1v1 use fists you will hardly ever use any skills jsut use your aoe to get the attack speed boost then reg attack so if you want 1v1 go fists

    Everything has its beginnings, but it doesn't start at one. It starts long before that... The world is born From zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes 2. 2 becomes 10. 10 becomes 100. taking it all back to one solves nothing. so long as zero remains... One.. Will eventually grow to 100 again.

    For early levels, 63 and under essentially, a Fister will out-pace other weapons outside of rebirth. Just get some negative interval gear, and you're good to go. My favorite part at lvl 60, was watching a BM with TT60 axes takes twice as long while skill spamming to kill foxwing supremes, as it did for me to kill them with Annihilator of Souls, which just so happen to also give back mana for the Physical Marrow and occasional Diamond Sutra. Cost me no pots or charm the entire time. And gaining 24-30% xp an hour with just an xp scroll running is very nice.

    Get a High lvl Fist warrior use it, Restat to axes. GG - complexx

    hmm sounds like fists are exactly what im looking for lol. Should I level as an axe build (6 str, 1 dex, 3 vit) til 20 so i can use the starter weapon or just go with a straight fist build (5 str, 3 dex, 3 vit). I've already dumped about 29 points into vit so far so I think ill have a problem shifting my build so drastically, at least til 4x.

    i recommend going fist build now if you plan on being a fist bm unless you plan on restatting yourself.

    I used fists until 70, then switched to axes. There are some times where I miss having fists, and I admire those that manage to stick with it and become PVP terrors. Anyone who has seen Ashlynn's Buddha: Peace fists go ape**** on a Hell Spark knows what I'm talking about.

    hehe this is exactly how i fight, with my fist bm xD You get wicked chi from it too, so you can couple it with lots of spark. I.e. Spark(1 or 2) - Whirlwind cloud(?) - auto attack - and repeat b:kiss
