Hello everyone, I'm currently semi new to the game and new to Blademasters. I've read the guide posted but its really confusing. I'll pretty much lay this down. I don't like PvP but I will resort to having fun with it at times. I'm more a PvE person so tell me, per level what's the general cookiecutter? How should I spend my points per level? Also, I hear Hammers/Axes are the highest damage output. How should my build go?

    2 str 2 dex 1 vit per level will suffice with PvE. It will give you more HP and allow you to grind sufficiently with axes using AoE skills. It always give you the chance to use other weapons later on.

    here we go again..HA(Heavy armor) needs 2,5 str per lvl, if you want survavibility its more like 5str 3dex and 2 Vit or 5str 4dex and 1 vit every 2 lvls

    And I think Axes need 3str per lvl..

    to above I don't think that wasn't sarcasm but if it was..not funny

    Well, that would depend on what build you want, and what weapon path you want to make your main, if you're going for axes/hammers path you will need more str, if you're going sword dex will take more importance, if you want to be a fist/claw BM dex is vital (be ready to wear light armor because of the hi dex requirements of some fist/claw weapons), poles are somewhere in between and don't require as much dex or str as other weapons

    I personally am a sword/axe BM, with sword as my main weapon and axe as auxiliary one, exclusively for AOE or dueling squishy classes, i like sword because the damage is very stable (not a high variance between min-max damage), while axes have a very high max damage, but also a very low min damage, so it gets more randomized, plus single swords have a high attack rate, which builds chi faster, and that is something you want at mid/hi levels, because it will help you spamming diamond sutra, which is (or should be) a BM's main healing source, cuts down your health potion consuming by 50-95% depending on how you use it, plus extra chi is always nice to use your chi consuming skills

    Oh, one final piece of advice, try to get your hands on equips that increase stats (+str, +vit, etc.), they will help you a lot, do not increase magic tho, it's useless for us BMs
