    Theres a sticky guide, look at it.

    Built goes like this:

    Every two lvls

    str: 5
    dex: 3
    vit: 2

    I wouldn't mind knowing this to as there are sword BM in my faction that want good a build.We have mostly axe BMs as this would be for a lvl 40+ BM.
    Looking for a decent casual understanding Faction.

    Read the guide.

    Sigh, sword BM's are not fail.

    And stat distribution is:

    5str 3 dex needed to use swords & use heavy armor. This leaves two points left over.

    The two points left over can either be added to str/dex/vit.

    If you use 1 point for str. You will have the stats to use both swords and axes.

    If you use 1 point for dex. You will have the stats to use both swords and fists.

    You can add 1 or 2 points to vitality or 0.

    So, your build could look like any of the following.

    str/dex/vit

    6/4/0
    6/3/1
    5/4/1
    5/3/2

    I suggest reading the stickies....

    Edit: All above builds can also use Spears.

    Agreed the only sword skill noteworthy would be 'Myriad sword stance' which should be crossed with axes.
    All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring.

    I used that build til my vit was 30, get the rest of my vit from gears. After vit was 30 I did 5/5 for a while. Now I am raising my strength a bit.

    Current Stats (With Gears)
    Vit:46
    Str:245
    Mag:13 (Mag Def Ornament gives me 10 mag. My base is 3)
    Dex: 204

    (I am too lazy to tell stats without gears because I am about to take a nap)
    Build works great for me.

    Atmos strike is the most powerful non-chi skill a BM has until he goes Sage/Demon. Then Sage Farstrike tops it. Swords also have an extra ranged move to help with runners in PvP. Additionally, I don't need misty's to hit archers or other BMs and my evasion is 2.5k. 5k for 15 seconds with will.

    I'd show you how well it works, but you're on Heavens Tear :/

    actually that whole 5 str and 3 dex and 2 vit every 2 levels works for a single sword or single blade. Using dual blades or or dual swords will require a little more dexterity. I suggest just caping ur vit at a sepecific number and then just going 3 str and 2 dex every level. imo dual swords and blades>single sword and blade. doesnt make sense to deal 400 less damage w/ a single sword even if ur crit rate might go up by 2% or 3% what point is it when ur base damage is that low =/.
    I dont level Slow I just enjoy the game b:surrender
