If you feel the need to post a thread because your personal build/problem is so important read this threadfirst...and post the question here

FAQ:
Whats the fist axe build/how do i make a bm/whats the DD build
fist axe build is 3 str 2 dex per level, you can also add vit with the help of +stat gear if you feel squishy

How do i grind?
you kill mobs by clicking them 2x, at 70+ AOE grinding with axes does beccome an option
Whats the best armor build?
use Heavy armor (HA), at 99+ light armor bracers and boots become an option for interval (anythign but bracer/boots and i throw this rock at your head)
Will i get enough spirit?
yes you will have enough spirit for all your weapons
Sage or demon?
go demon sage suck for everything dont feed me that "playstyle matters" **** 15% more on bell and mastery =/= 55% DBB and 100% crit buff
Can i be a good bm as pure sword/axe/pole/fist/bow/pataka
Any single weapon build will suck compared to multipath (with rare exeptions like vit axe in TW) if you are considering this accept that no squads will want you ever
How do i hit 5 aps?
Get -.5 total interval with fists...if this makes sense good if not search button
if this doesent help read the stickied guides and use the search function
If you cannot do the above GTFO of these forums, If annyone seems incapable of the above scorn them so hard they burst into flame we need to make an example of a few flameing scorn idiots to warn the rest...and possibly post their skulls on the forum link

(some people actually are helpfull and added rather usefull coments hit the down arrow to read down and the arrows at the bottom)

    May I add "search function for questions on how to get 5 aps."

    and

    "Stop asking about whether to sage or demon, you're level 23."

    "Yes, you will have enough hp"



    Nearly crapped myself when I saw your signature after you posted.

    I agree with it all, but you might want to at least consider using punctuation instead of confusing the poor newbs with random run-on sentences.

    "vit axes really do suck so do fist/blade/pole only builds use em all" in particular. They could read it as "axes are bad... so don't use axes use fist/blade/pole builds." and that's when the other annoying threads pop up.

    The rest seems fine.

    fist axe build is 3 str 2 dex per level
    This is true, and a very common question. You may want to mention that this is also the "All weapon build" as well.
    you kill mobs by clicking them 2x
    This isn't 100% true, that's a way to attack something. Double clicking on something doesn't always kill it.
    use Heavy armor (HA)
    Makes sense, could use a bit of explanation.
    get DQ bracers for -.1 at 60
    You're probably referring to Bracers of Blood Moon. This actually contradicts your previous statement to use heavy armour. Also these tend to be expensive for a typical level 60, how should they be prioritized?
    yes you will have enough spirit
    Enough for what? When will I have enough?
    go demon
    Why?
    vit axes really do suck so do fist/blade/pole only builds use em all
    I'm having trouble even understanding what you're trying to say here. Are "vit axes" axes with +vit in them?
    if this doesent help read the stickied guides and use the search function
    Advice everyone should try.
    if you cant do that then post
    If I can't search?
    please laugh at anyone not capable of doing the above
    Many of the things you said are statements, and not instructions. I don't know how to "yes you will have enough spirit", so does this mean I should be laughed at? o.O

    Getting DQ bracers is kinda hard at that level. Unless you cashshop/merchant a lot, there is no way you'll get those at that level.

    Themos: In fist Build, you only have 5 vit (3 if you use a reset >.>)

    But with how mega-awesomely our HA refines in the HP department, along with +10 vit stones/cirtine shards, we don't have to worry about it ^.^

    How does this build work at lower levels, i am only lvl 31 atm and have considered using a reset note, but have not in fear of dying alot. I guess my question is at what level is this the most viable at?

    bacerrs of the blood moon they are the lvl 60 LA bracers from the DQ agent

    to get the mold you need 25 silver DQ orders and 25 copper

    silver = 200-250k each copper =20-25k each on AH or from cat shops or AH

    total cost is a little over 7 mill but they will last from lvl 60-99 easily and can be resold for 10 mill+

    pricy yes the best investment you will ever make on your bm hell yes

    Joshcja: In HT those bracers so rarely go on the market, if you put it in a cash shop for less then 20 mil it'll be gone in no time.

    right so...farm the orders for 7 mil...sell for 20 = 13 mill profit and 40 lvls of bracer win

    Legendary Armor Forge, under the last tab. Don't Remember off the top of my head, but think it's something like 18 Commander Blood, 18 Sacred Beast Blood (might be off on those...but they're the bloods from 51 and 59 to be sure), and 12 of each mid mat.

    ...Or around that much at least. X_X

    EDIT: And for the record...totally worth the trouble. TBH didn't think I'd notice this much of a difference...

    go demon

    It's not so definitive anymore now that Sage BMs can reach 5 aps while having the defense bonus from Sage spark. But ofc that's speaking assuming the BM in question has the fund for it to happen.

    DQ Bracers are godsend if you can get it in 60's and you will be the target of many envy. My Assassin got it in early 80's (yea I actually farmed the orders) and in few levels she can switch to TT90 gold bracers so if I'm asked if it was worth it, I wouldn't say yes. Oh well, at least my archer can have some fun with it when she reaches 60. ^.^

    1st Steopie if you read enough threads you would know Telarith is also level 100+ (and has been for quite a while) assuming stuff about people when you hardly post on the forums is a bad way to introduce yourself.

    although I do agree that the original post lacked alot in the way of explaination, as I believe his intent was to answer a series of standard questions however by omitting said questions he did leave alot of room for people to misinterpret his meaning.

    btw about the harpy tanking thing are we sure its not possible for demon? I personally havent tried it yet due to being in a faction without strong enough clerics to survive the aoes, but what HP roughly do you think a BM would need to tank it as demon (assuming constant demon pdef marrow as its a WB and its poison aoe will be purified by spark after 1-2 ticks like emp) I dont believe a 25% damage reduction would be needed if you had enough base hp(although if I do need reduction I could use the +5 def +5 attack blessings).

    hmmmmm now im tempted to try it lol, pity im still in exams for another couple of days

    It's posts like I knew would pop up that make my glitched avatar so useful. Just by people thinking I am low level, shows how little they have read of the forum, which already knew about the various ways to maximize BM efficiency long before everyone else started imitating. Josh was here for that, Steopie by her failed attempt to impress obviously wasn't. That would be why my post still stands.

    After the end of a long string of world bosses, someone notifies us that Harpy is up. Yes, preemptive 'I know he's not a world boss :P'. He has 15k hp unbuffed, 5aps hh100 fists. We try on a whim, epic fail. Instead of finding out what we did wrong or how to better proceed, we find some open map group PvP and call it a day. lol

    Could we have found a way? I'm sure. Did we even bother looking into it? Of course not. Group PvP against our enemies is more rewarding than killing Harpy Wraith for some Dragonling Essence that doesn't really do much for anyone these days.
