Best BM build?

3 Str 2 dex per level will give you the ability to use heavy armor and all weapons. So you can't really go wrong with it b:pleased

using more strength than you need to use your weapons and heavy armor is a huge waste just stop now and go restat

b:laugh whats the point in using all 4 weapons it jus means ur not good at anything id rather be a great aoe dd then 2b nothing at all, a str bm is the best aoe class, a 4 weapon bm fails at aoe becuz he lacks dmg, the bm purpose in pve/pvp is to not jus stun but to aoe a bm with all 4 weapons aoe dmg jus tickles the other classes/mobs u cant get pass there charm but a str bm has alot more dmg and a better chanceb:pleased

your the kinda bm an assassin is actualy going to be able to kill b:bye

I laugh at you b:laugh. I use all weapons, have max all AOEs, deal high damage, and I have high accuracy for archers.

Anyone who claims 4 Weapon BMs aren't good at anything obviously hasn't met a good one.

b:laughthats your only argument that u can hit an archerb:laugh thats fail i think u forget theres other classes with very low evasion, yes i will miss archers alot, but when i do hit my high dmg they wont live long on the other hand ur baby slaps wont affect them they'll laugh at ur dmg as u hit but hey good 4u u can hit a archer but lack the dmg 2 actually kill 1 or anyother class and have poor aoe dmg, i feel bad for ur rb squad cuz there bm's dmg cant hold aggro for more then 3secs b:laugh, myslef on the other hand hold aggro pretty well and thats b4 alpa male, y adjust my stats to atk 1 class when i can atk many classes by going str, also in tw ur job wont be to atk archers its most likely stun and attack magic classes,dam and u went high dex just 4 themb:chuckle, and also its ok if u wanna go all weapons and can afford it i shouldnt say its a fail cuz those ppl worked hard 4 there toons i can fault them 4 that but instead ill just say i disagree with going anything else besides str axes 4 a bm and also who would an fcc squad rather have a str axe bm with awesom aoe dmg or a high dex bm with low dmg but high accaucy hmm i wonder and keep in mind that mobs dont have high evasion either because i rarley miss em

The problem with a pure str BM is that you limit yourself to one path - Axes. A BM's strength isn't their ability to kill the opponent in 3 hits. A BM's strength isn't to amass havoc from afar. A BM's strength is the ability to take full advantage of each path to meet the situational requirements, whether it is killing a squishy, keeping a barb stunned so your mages can kill him or slowing down masses of people.

You can argue that an axe BM can perform all of the above tasks and more, but there is always a better path to choose for each condition.

By constricting yourself to axes, it's like using the jackhammer you used to drill through concrete to drill a cavity. I mean yeah they're both drills, but there's better instruments suited for different tasks.

ahh but ur forgetting the most important role of a bm, the main reason y we r in squads and thats not just stun its 2 aoe becuz no other class can aoe as good as a bm, yes magic claases/archers have more dmg but they cant aoe like a bm, and our role isnt simply 2 stun so mages can kill we also have to do our part which is to kill magic user and stun but a bm with 3 or 4 paths has low dmg and at high lvls those so called squishies rnt so squishy anymore but u still lack dmg and can no longer defeat there charms so what good are u if u cant kill a few of them, stun becomes useless if u cant take advantge of it by killing those magic users attacking the barb in tw and once again for fcc/rb or any place that requires aoe ull want a bm that has actual aoe dmg not alot of dex becuz mobs have low evasion so high dex isnt needed, yea u can still aoe but your aoe atks r weak and that makes for a very loooong run with every1 being atttacked becuz ur high dex didnt help kill mobs faster,and i know more dex means more crit but with the lack of str ur dmg is still low ur crit would be my normal hit o well i guess if ur rich u can jus +12 ur weapon then then maybe it will be enuf, and yes i know theres alpha but it cant be spammed as fast as u would need it, thats when having str comes into play havin high str i hold aggro alot longer compared to a dex bmb:victory

You have no clue what you're talking about if you think my damage is low. Demon barbs have trouble holding aggro from me because of my DPS. I've downed plenty of enemies in just a few shots using a TT90 polearm +4.

My actions speak for themselves. Anyone who's been with me in something like FCC or AGAINST me in TW knows how effective I am.

Careful, if you read any more of that, your IQ will drop to that level too.

yea seen some of the vids but whats the point u cant tell who else is attacking his targets so to say he killed them is to assume to much also what were there lvls he was 101, rb only a dot? lol rb is 1 huge dot then ,aoe is the main purpose of a bm when u decide to become a bm its cuz u wanna aoe better then any1 else its what makes bm fast levelers well the str bm anyway and if u wanna be a tank delete ur bm and become a barb b:chuckle we rnt tanks u might wish to b but ur no different from high lvl magic users who couldnt tank at low lvl who now all of a sudden wanna show they can tank b:laugh, yes im not a tank but with my axes i can tank most bosses if im needed to but i dont enter squads thinking ima tank my role is to help kill as fast as possible,stun and when things break down hold aggro on boss till barb gets back but theres a better class for that actaully there called venos so ur no longer needed so what can u do?whats left for u?AOE is the only job that no other class can take away or replace us so that leaves fis/swords/pole as nuthin more then a nice little party trick b:laugh now put ur axes on b:laugh

There were portions of the video where he specifically switched to fists to down a couple of targets he singled out. In duels, you can see he mostly uses fists, because the sheer dps is indeed formidable, and even you cannot deny that.

Rebirth is but a small portion of the bigger picture. And I can say I didn't become a BM just so I can AOE. I became a BM because I want to save squads, because I want to stunlock, because I want to cancel AOEs and because I want be a class that molds itself to whatever the situation calls for. If all you do is AOE, you're missing out on the whole point of a BM. If all I did was AOE grind and rebirth, I'd quit game.

Any good BM knows that for different situations, there are different needs, and one weapon cannot meet the needs of everything.

But hey, if you insist rebirth and aoeing is all there is to a BM, whatever makes you sleep at night.
