Hello forums I'm here to ask a few questions about a Blademaster.
  1. Is a 2 Str , 2 Dex , 1 Vit Build Good Till I Hit 50 Vit then I change to 3 Str , 2 Dex ?
  2. Can anyone give me some good genie build for a Blademaster ?

That's all folks , Thanks for your help in advance

    I used that build until 30 vit. Its worked nicely so far. You could do that build until level 50, then go to 3 str 2 dex per level.

    For stats, make sure you have enough str for axes your lvl and enough dex for fists your lvl. Most bms cap vit at 30. As for genie you MUST have True Emptiness and Bramble Rage, other are optional :P

    True Emptiness isn't necessary unless you plan PvP and/or kill lots of flying mobs think same goes for bramble(at least PvP part).

    How ever Venom Stinger isn't that good(sure it might have some uses if you need to gtfo and sprint is on cooldown) and could be replaced by TE or Bramble

    They ARE necessary! True Emptiness will save you so much charm/hp pots when grinding magical mobs. Same with Bramble Rage, in FCC HF+BR=epic raep. I don't know of any skills to replace the two, in PvE and PvP.

    Are you confusing TE for Balance by any chance?

    True Emptiness, on top of the massive damage output, can create Magic-Absorbing shields too. Just needs to be maxed to do it consistently.

    nope, TE, the skill that provides an 8 sec magical bubble shield, that absorbs x amount of magical damage, also deals x amount of damage to enemy.

    damn completely forgot TE's shield, sryb:surrender

    anyway what kind of genie you planned, because if its anything else than Zeal you can easily replace starting skills.

    EDIT: maybe wind force as starter skill might be usefull(ofc you can always jump at air and hope you move faster)

    good luck with that genieb:victory

    anyway hope you got at least build correct since replacing Genie is much less painful than getting your stats fixed

    Tree of Protection is a horrible charm eater if you use one, and it's not as effective as it is on a Barb.

    Second Wind can be used concurrently with Sutra for substantial healing throughout, and a maxed SW can often save your hide in dire situations due to the huge insta-heal. I've used both and I found SW to be vastly superior to ToP (unless you have lots of HP to boot).

    honestly tangling mire is better for AOE killing in a party

    is strength based

    and costs less than 1/2 the energy of BR

    A Dex Genie with Bramble rage is by far the best investment of 3m spirit and 3 mirages. It is so incredibly badass in FC, and PvP.

    Hmmm... One BM do Glacial Spike with a 50% total reduction Tangling Mire, while another one uses Heaven's Flame? A total of *4 damage for 6 seconds, dropping to only *2 when Heaven's fades. Course, if there are 3 BMs it keeps going for a while. Also keeps aggro on the physical damage dealers, which should help the BMs out quite alot. Only one would need Tangling, the others can both stack Brambles if they wish.

    Should also go without saying, have their Dragon Bane going when they do AoE. The reduction is piddling when using axe AoE skills, but the extra crits that both they and their genie get is a huge advantage.

    it really isnt, you dont seem to undertsand. In FCC, i use HF followed by BR, every mob in the vicinity takes 20k non crit damage. I think BR wins here.

    once you hit 3 BM's mobs wolnt even be able to moveb:chuckle

    but ya the GS HF mire combo drops anything near the party almost instantly but from a general sense mire adds about as much damage as BR over its duration stacks with other buffs is cheaper availibal from a lower level used on a str geni for low energey (hello heals) and helps hold aggro against maq DD's

    but considering the 30 second CD to keep a continous debuff you would want at least 2 of those bm's with mire

    This.

    It's the main reason I have a separate pure dex and pure str genie. Also 14 second duration EP's are pretty sweet, especially in PvE.
    I'm using ToP on my Dex and testing Second wind on my Str. The fact SW is instant is nice, I've died before when using ToP basically simply because the heal effect doesn't kick in fast enough.

    True emptiness is amazing. A 12 second shield that absorbs nearly 3500 spell damage and can be spammed every 20 seconds is pretty awesome. Plus it deals very decent damage. TE+HF can drop robes, archers, sins and even nix's.

    And of course BR requires a lot of affinity, a high level and a large amount of energy to use, so Tangling mire is a pretty good alternative in the meantime.
