Life Cycle of a Blademaster

Lvl 1-19: Rawr imma be a dual swordmaster Build...? Hmmm fast attacks, really high damage, lots of HP! Woot 100k, I'm rich!

Lvl 20-29 Wait...axes have maor damage =/ And dex doesn't make me hit faster? dammit, axes it is, better stop adding dex. Shiny hammers o.o damn, need to meditate again -.-

Lvl 30-39 Why do veno's do double my damage and never need to heal? no fair! BM's suck! Time to QQ the forums b:angry

Lvl 40-49 Want a quest reward axe... Q_Q

Lvl 50-54 General summer axes are teh pwnage b:victory Hmm, mebbe I should level an aoe skill or 2?

Lvl 54-58 Terrestrial Foxwings x3 Imma grind here forever.

Lvl 58-63 Foxwing Supreme x3 Imma grind here forever. Freaking pyrogoliths! >.< hmm, mebbe I should get those alter marrow skills...? +1 Skeleton Axes, now I'm really splashing out =o

Lvl 70-75 Full TT70+1-3, Cala+3, all 3* ornaments, fully sharded with citrine. Skills maxed, maxed Zuriels, Finally hard work pays off ^_^ ooo Bh's! Please not Pyro today <.<

Lvl 75-80 I'm....still a nub Freaking dragonmaids! Freaking axes stop burning! I'll never save for TT80

Lv80-83 Woot got TT80! Shoulda gone gold I don't die anymore Why does no one need a BM for their squad?

Lv83-85 Too lazy to level Endgame gear costs HOW much? O_o

I think it's level 26 when you fight the first mobs that have magic attacks (Skeleranc Artisans?). That's a lesson in pain for any BM.

Ahh i so stole this from the Archer forum but it was amazing so read one.

At least you admit it

The Wizard one totally plagiarized my writing style.

The original Life Cycle of an Archer post is not a recounting of my experience. It is a parody of the typical questions asked on the archer forums, plus some of my own jokes injected.

But don't let me stop you from posting your experiences.

lvl 1-19: Yay claws look bad ****! fists are great to punch mobs to death. Oh wait... I'm out of HP pots again grrrrrrrrrrrrr

lvl 20-29: Damn artisans killed me again! I need more vit!!! Oh wait... Didn't know BMs had self heal. LOVE DIAMOND SUTRA. Now I have all HP I need but I'm always out of MP -_-

Lvl 30-39: grrrrrrrrrr BMs are so expensive to lvl and my dmg is so low. think I'll go make a veno to make coins and then buy better items for BM. +1.00 flying sword is soooooo slow... (stays away from BM for 4 months)

Lvl 40-49: damn it's so boring to lvl up solo as BM. not like I can't kill things on my own but it's just plain boring! cyclone heel rocks! who cares about axes anyway?

Lvl 50-58 yay bought a +3 sword for 100k!!! it does nice dmg but I'm too broke to buy sword skills... damn I need more mana! I'm tired of grinding and questing. so boring! lol even 2x noobs refuse squad invitation... worse for them I was just going to buff anyway. now they'll die to wolves! (away from BM for 2 months)

Lvl 59-61 wow fists ultimate is cool! too bad the fire add is crappy. ok swords do more damage anyway... omg got +4 legendary sword for 700k! a steal! hmmmmm maybe I should also try polearms.(stays away from BM for 2 months)

Lvl 62-69 why do clerics quit when I say I can tank fushma and wyvern? damn gotta buy better equips and more mana. I should have bought fists with provoke before anniv packs QQ. I have no guild and only 4 friends who are mostly off... I've never had an invitation to TT...

You couldn't be more right! b:cry


but thats ok, I am determined to make this character work b:victory

(First character to play on PWI)

1-9: BM, that's like a warrior on everything else? Good damage, good hp, run up and kill stuff, sounds easy enough. Holy **** I can jump high!!!

10-19: How can I jump so high, yet still not reach this damn chest? Get away you stupid white tiger, what are you even doing here? I seem to kill things the same speed no matter what weapon I have... Where did all my health go?

20-29: Hey, my girlfriend made a veno. Hey, babe, I'll help you quest! I can take soooo much damage, here, let me keep mobs off of you while you grind. We'll level up together, how cute!

30-39: Yes, I'm killing stuff, I just can't kill them as quick as you! I need to go get some more pots... what do you mean you haven't used any yet? I'm trying to kill it... yes, I know you could have killed it by now... no, I do not need your beetle to take all the damage for me, I'm a blade MASTER, dammit!

40: What do you mean you're already 45? You've been playing while I'm at work? No, I can't kill these things by myself, they keep shooting me! Okay look, just let me do perfect stone for a few days and I'll get caught up... you're quitting so you can watch Grey's Anatomy? This is why I don't play with girls! I'm trying to save the universe here!

Note.. Barb is just the Avi, I am a retired BM.

Life Cycle of A Blademaster

Lvl 1-19: Hmm I can kill stuff and my skills look spiffy pff, this is easy who needs new gear anyways I can't die.

Lvl 20-29 This is pretty sweet with the buff I dont get hit for hardly any damage. Man i sure like these hammers they glow

Lvl 30-39 This sucks so bad.. If another one of these spiders poison me to death I swear I'm going to quit... NOT AGAIN!!!

Lvl 40-49 Sweet so I get 50% exp a days from just killing this stupid boss. And I AOE just about everything at once and still live. NIOCE!!

Lvl 50-59 You need a barb for BH39? Yeah I can tank it. Thats what BM's are made for. I totally have the greatest axes for my TT60 wait till I can Equip them and we'll duel

Lvl 60-69 OMG I have to do TT runs all day to get my 70 gear this sucks, the swamp sucks, I hate accidently aoeing too many mobs.... RESS

Lvl 70-79 Woots smooth sailing from here. I dont even gotta waste money on mp pots anymore no skills as a DD is awesome. Wait let me AMP okay no skills again.

Lvl 80-89 Wanna pk? Lol noob I just stunned you to death. OMG Paying for wine sucks I hate BH69

Lvl 90-99 I just refined everything +7 I ROCK. Wait... why does no one need a BM for their squad.. Oh well I'll go tank stuff for noobs.

noone need bms? thats only the flaw of THAT bm )

It's sadly true. 90% of squads looking for members need either a cleric or a barb. Clerics and barbs and veno's in a lot of cases will have instant invite to most dungeon squads and fb's, first choices in TT drops and desperate squads will offer them free BH wines regardless of skill. The few times that a BM is required, there are so many BM's looking for something to do that there's a huge competition for the spot and it gets filled in seconds.

Not saying we never get asked to squad, just that we tend to be seen as fillers by most people rather than an integral part.

Outside of TT squads, it gets easier after 90 for a BM to find BH/FB squads since barbs/veno's are not needed. (I know Bm's can tank 69 but that FB seems to have the most stigma attached to it from other classes).

79/89 have no classes that are 100% needed ( I have new respect for Wiz heals after countless Bh runs when clerics couldnt be found)

FF: Bm's can pretty much walk into any squad (If they know how to play their class ofc), and BM's pretty much 2nd in importance in FF after a cleric.

So yeah pretty much only TT squads I have found it hard to get unless you sub yourself

b:cute chu get us *hugz tha veno*

i dont have problems gettins squads <.< maybe its just you DarkSeph lol, as long as u know what u need to do a lot of ppl will invite u to fbs, squads, etc etc etc...

ppl that think that bms r not needed r failed players rolf! is like saying we dont need venos! get some zeals n start pulling plop! barbs n clerics have more demand, y??? cuz they r a lot of noob that think that they r going to die w/o a barb n noob DDs that dont know how to hold on for a bit ^^

your an oracle baby...stop NOW

i will make a bm on dream

i will lvl the hard way

i will find and kill you repeatedly till you go back and play from lvl 1

bm takes skill timing and experiane to use these are things you cannot buy from cash shop. level right learn your classb:angry
