    Heaven is better for sword. Especially if you get Poles as your secondary. In my opinion. Fists are better with Demon, no argument. Axes, I think it is debatable. Last, I think you should probably up your dex some more, and make sure you wield dual swords/blades.

    Wear magic defense ornaments,
    and get a couple misty rings while your dex is low. They will help a lot.

    I used Twins, I thought the HH80 gold weapon was really overrated.

    Shard your weapons with acc stones instead of garnets (because of your current stats) and remember that refining your gears will make you just plain better so long as you play your character correctly.

    Hey Kniraven, i really like your sign :D nice job, you got to let me know how you captured that.

    Back on topic, I too am following a sword path.. but i think i will take Pole as a secondary. Personally i dont really care about axes. Everyone and their mothers carry them. I want to be a little different, even if it means making compromises.

    Can you please tell me why Sage is better than Demon?

    I would like to go dark side like Darth Vader or Voldemort XD

    I have to insert accuracy instead of garnet with 112 dex ?

    I used axes for grinding and zhening.

    Where swords are concerned, atk speed is less of a factor usually. Having greater atk speed doesn't matter when you are spamming skills, only when normal attacking. A single blade I suppose could be used for it's attack speed, however fists will always be better in that department. Dual Blades are slower but hit a lot harder. Like I said before, their speed doesn't matter when you're spamming skills. So with that alone I can say that
    Sage Spark>Demon Spark for swords.

    Also, this makes you way better at taking damage. Extra 20%def buff and in addition Myriad sword stance? Epic.

    Next, I believe BMs to be very chi dependant. We need chi for Sutra, for Will, for our ultis, and portions for some of our smaller skills even. The being able to automatically gain half a bar of chi every minute is awesome. So is the new ability to spam TigerMaw for extra chi.

    Aelion Blade does more damage, and as a sword BM you use it more often than an Axe BM does. You already have high crit because of your dex so the demon weapon mastery doesnt matter. The extra 15% helps. Then Atmos also gives you ore chi and Myriad has a chance to consume only 1 spark.




    As for the accuracy, I would say yes. Get misty rings too.
