    go to the blacksmith and check the requeriments for fists/claws and then go to the tailor and do the same for heavy armor. easy?

    before i go into it, do not go pure LA <.< your main armor as BM should always be HA. I do however keep full gear set of LA on hand for fighting annoying pure mag attk mobs or when the situation calls for it, but 95% of the time I'm wearing HA.
    I also keep a mixture of mag/def res belts and necklace that I switch out as appropriate.

    When stating I tend to keep up with my armor first and then top up my dex just before I switch to the next lvl weapon as the strength gives me more def/attk bonus and equipping ability, for heavy armor then the 10-15 dex would before I get the weapon that requires it.

    Here's my advice for anyone looking at fists:
    This isn't the be all end just my learnings so far.

    I am a fist bm, on my other main, so i thought I would share what the advantage here is. As you say fist are definately great for PVE, my faction loves me b:cute; Attack strength is lower but DPS is highest out of all weapons. Fist BM's are all about fast attack rate, endless sparks. and crit, crit, crit.

    Regular autoattack, fists hit .5 time more per second then axe/bm so to compare damage you would times fist attack by 1.5, ontop of that you get what will be your main fist AOE cyclone heal ( which increase your attack rate further.

    Bosses
    Usually I do Double spark eruption, cyclone heel, auto attack, (now you can either use your next spark, or one more cyclone heal auto attack to get a second spark, repeat, constantly, for TT bosses I like to couple this with an elemental damage powder the boss is weak too. Insane DPS, higher then the other BM weapons and I usually end up tanking most bosses if the other tank is another bm within 10 levels because of this b:chuckle

    More DPS
    Fist take the fullest advantage of element damage powders,imo, because of their high attk/s. But it's just as you said great for PVE. I don't play pvp but another fist bm has posted some really good information for those who want to know i will try to find the link tonight.

    As mentioned, whirlwind cloud further increases dps by increasing attack rate.
    In addition Fire drakes breath(? again will double check, not in game right now) Uses two sparks and adds fire damage to your attack

    Demon spark eruption increases attack and attack rate + cyclone heel = pve beast? o.O

    Stating and Leveling
    Personaly, I started as polearm in early lvls because of it's range, and switched to fist around lvl 48-50 and never looked back. Once you get your first TT fists it's all on b:cool

    Typical build for fist bm, is stat as per your equiptment and get your VIT to 50 early in the game as feasible. Stating is a bit of a juggle in the start, I did as equiptment required and hold on to some -15% req, and +DEX +STR equipt while upping my vit. I had my vit at 50 by lvl 50.

    STR 3-2 - DEX 1-2 VIT Whatever you can spare.
    After that add str and dex as required for your gear.
    Fist/Axe is STR 3 DEX 2 VIT 0.

    I am not a fists rule / some other weapon drool but I wanted to make sure the information is here for players who want to play fist and usually get told off with out help b:surrender

    Bow
    Off topic of fist, BM's can make very good use of carrying around a bow to pluck out mage mobs in some of trickier mag mob areas. You wouldn't use it as your regular weapon by anymeans but it is handy to have even if lvl1

    Was in a bit of a hurry to write this so I'll refine later and add some more specific information about skills for you

    Another note as fist you will probably find you don't use as many skills as the other weapon mastery trees. Mainly focussing on skills for increasing attack speed and spark to drill in the dmg. I've also noticed quite a lot of Fist/Axe players on the forums and fist are fairly popular amidst the archer population as secondary melee weapon.

    Whatever you feel like putting the points into. Str for more damage, dex for more accuracy and +crit, vit for more hp. Never put anything into mag though.

    Of course, if you really want a cookie cutter build then use 5 str, 4 dex, 1 vit every two levels.b:sweat

    What happened to the times when people tried new things? Experimenting with different builds is fun.
    Meh, saw a couple other people doing this so...

    well... your wallet is much more important than your build.

    it's just simple as I say: if you wish to spend RL money with your BM keep vitality the lowest possible. don't touch magic. then only strength and dexterity for you to play with.

    there are items called charms. they regen your HP and HP to 100%. they're cash shop items.

    also there are 2 ways of upgrading items. the first is to add sockets and gems to them. most probably you saw an items with sockets already... the other way of upgrading is to refine. when you refine your armoury the item gets +HP added so the more you refine the more extra HP you get. any BM with 5 vitality can peak over 7000HP through refining. on weapons refining grants higher damage. to refine you must go to any elder with mirage celestones. there's a huge chance of failing the process though. to make the success rate 100% people use the dragon orbs which are also cash shop items.
