    Try posting in the BM section and using the search option. There's plenty of guides out there. Typically, end game BMs nowadays go axe/fist. The axe skills are very useful and in terms of fist, I only use a few skills. End game fist users usually end up at APS.

    For PvP:BM(Especially if you known how to stunlock)
    For PvE:Seeker(For AoEs),BM(For Bosses(HF))
    TW:Maybe Seeker
    Tanking:Similar,but BM+5 Aps+BP=Tanking heal-less(*)

    (*)=Generic considerations that may not apply on all possible cases

    BM Skills to Max:
    - Alters Phy/Mag
    - Aura of G.B.
    - Roar(AoE Stun)
    - lv.29 Axe-Stun skill(For PvP)
    - Axe AoEs
    - Speed/Anti Stun skill
    - Heaven's Flame

    b:bye

    bm's in Tw are basically pawns they run in and stun/amplify damage but often die a lot
    and seekers in TW are just dead unless they can set up vortex close to a target b:surrender
    the only "real" tanking class is barbarian seekers are just a quick substitute and cant actually hold aggro vs single targets

    Setting up vortex in TW is like throwing up a big sign that says "HEY LOOK AT ME IM JUST WAITING TO BE KILLED" big no no unless the situation calls for it

    Lol yeh what storm said. Narrim doesn't seem to know the first thing about seeker TW. Next to the fact that we do so much more damage per hit than bm's , our best skills are also ranged and aoe which allows us to target whole groups from a safe distance. And if we do get hit, we have more defense than a BM with similar gear.

    i m a level 73 seeker for now.. but i have 2-3 shot level 8X BMs u know.. its the fact.. BMs are good.. i know.. coz my main is a level 99 Fist/Axe BM.. but seriously.. try PVPing mages and arcane users with BMs. if the magic user is experienced.. he/she ll run around avoiding close range contact with physical opponents.. and do a huge amount of damage from far distance.. how do u think Sins own wiz and clerics.. coz they have jump skills which can instantly tele them very close for a deathly strike.. BMs lack that.. nd if u are not experienced in PVPing as BM.. a good arcane user will probably kill u way before u even reach near them.. seekers Can basically Slaughter this advantage.. Seekers ranged physical damage skills can literally render arcane users helpless.. and if u still want a close combat.. U can jump in with the stunn skill like a sin and do meele damage.. what i personally love to do is get 2 full sparks.. when the fight begins i use Edge blur..hit them with heart seeker so the debuff gets activated for my gemini slash's extra damage.. and use that skill that reduces channeling.. by then i already have 1 more spark.. then i jump/stun the opponent and then use gemini slash.. u can beat any arcane or LA or even HA users with this combo!! b:pleased
