    1. Read the sticky for how many points per two levels you need for pole
    2. Decided what to do with the extra points
    3. ???

    Pole is use full for long range fight.
    Since pole weapon didn't get much variety of weapon there not much choices until high lv, so maybe you want to lv with other weapon. Though most pole weapon effect is kinda nice.

    What Okeano say sum everything up. And want to know why people like to say 3str and2 dex ?

    Because eventually BM would use skills from different weapon tree anyway. The build didn't do so much other than equip needs on these game, the rest depend on equipments. On PVP server people suggest vit for basic or cheaper way to survive random pk, other than that people use refines and citrine to boost hp.

    People suggest 3str, 2dex build because u can use ALL weapons and wear ALL Heavy armors with it.

    A combination of weapon switching is the key of success for a pvp BM.

    2.5 str, 1 dex, 1.5 points free.
    (3 strength even levels, 2 strength odd, 1 dex every level, and 1.5 points to play with)



    What do I recommend doing with that 1.5 free points?

    Adding .5 more to strength and 1 more to dex per level. This is a 3/2 build. It maxes your damage output and allows you to use more than sliver of your skills. 16 skills > 4 skills whether you plan on going 5.0, using fists, or deciding to Yulk it till you drop.... Maybe 16 isn't greater than 4 if you're Yulking it. He's a pole bm, too! b:shocked

    And the problem with a Pole BM is what Steopie ?

    True the path is not looked apon as being as useful as many of the other builds. I will give you that. But for teaching me range outside of melee, it was a great role that I took on till I was level 8x. I have posted in this section of the forums how to AOE grind with much less in repair bill as your axe BMs. Yes, it does take a bit longer ( average one or two hits per round of mobs ) but you have a trade off, not spend so much time for repairs vs having to put in one or two more AOEs to take down the same section of mobs.

    I would not suggest or discourage this path to anyone. In the end it is your preference on how you like to play your BM, and some will like the path, some will not. I still use my spear even in TW now, the range is incredably useful, as well as some of the AOE's that you can use. No, it is not as devisating as HF and probably never will be. But, it is a different outlook of a way to play. But one shotting players with Lunar zerk spear is still nice at an added range.

    Just as fist/claws where laughed at because they where not the "cookie cutter build" 1.5+ years ago, there will always be people that play the non cookie path. Let them play how they want, if they like it all for them.

    To your build, this is how I was taught back on the MY server-
    enough dex to use single sword
    enough str to wear heavy armor
    remainer to one of the two above, or add to vit

    Again, true, this build will NOT allow you to use all weapons. I do not believe it was till 95 I could even use an onlevel axe. Nor will this build allow you to use fist/claws, while they are cookie cutter ATM, there is very good reason they are.
    Personally, I would follow the 3/2 build that is being put out as your cookie cutter build, for the very simple fact of axes and fists at 99+ are the most useful weapons you can use in PVE, PVP or TW.

    If are going to be a pure pole BM (no other paths allowed which sucks later on) you are going to miss out on a lot of things in PvP. Here's some of those: 100% damage amp from HF, 6-9 sec extra stun and DPS. 6 sec Drake's Bash is good since more often than not your targets will try to kite you and if you can't keep them stunned they will heal before you can kill them.

    Just a game lol. Someone needs daylight and some fresh air. As long as OP is having fun does it really matter?

    That said, at the very, very least learn all the useful skills for each weapon class and carry a version of each weapon that your build will allow. Otherwise the game really wont be fun.

    I dont think use of a pole should be discouraged, but being 'pure pole' is the weapon choice equivalent to chopping off your limbs, you limit your effectiveness, abilities and you're far less in demand.

    Poles have their uses, but a BM is never 'defined' by the pole.

    Now tale00n! stop being nice and go troll! b:shockedb:cute

    I personally love the looks of the lunar pole & love 1 hitting ppl with zerk-crit on farstrike . I even have fun zerk-critting on demon GS sometimes & yes I know demon HF is a better use of your sparks & I use it in most cases but we're all allowed to have our fun right ? I also like how it looks :P

    Let's not forget about the purge pole that also has it's uses .

    Poles aren't useless , they are just less useful than fists & axes ; let's just say they're situation while the other 2 are needed .

    I'd highly encourage the use of them , especially if you like doing so . It's a game and every1 should be allowed to have fun in w/e way they want , some ppl take it too seriously . However I don't encourage being a " pole bm" as in pure pole or think of it as your main weapon path , that's limiting yourself too much .

    Sadly PWI didn't give poles much at end-game or not even that much early compared to fists & axes thus they can't be a successful main weapon path thus they'll always remain situational . We all gotta adapt thought , heh .
    It's all about LoL,yo.
