Ive always seen blademasters with same type of build some of them with just one weapon path only others with 2 paths of weaponry but I wonder..is it possible to be an all type Blademaster? it could be good same as give a really good advantage to squads and play different roles that need reinforcement during the course of action. Be an AOE when needed, A DD if there aint none, Cause extra damage with pole weapons. I wanna know what do you think..I kinda been giving the thought to try it out myself but Im gonna be needing time to find a way to make a good build for it as well as getting the multiple weapons and armor.

    Well, you really only need fist and axes...

    Fists are best DPS, and Axes are highest DPH for AoEing.

    The only use of multiple armor would be interval gear and such.

    Aoes, HF, spike damage, stuns...

    The answer is the most successful BMs are all path BMs. If you see a Bm using fists and axes they can use every type of weapon (axes require most strength, fists require most dex, poles and swords fall in between).

    As for LA/HA most people just use 2 pieces LA at 99 for the -int. Beyond that LA is pretty bad.

    Not with the number of honestly stupid questions out there that aren't trolls. And I don't think this is one either. He probably see most BM's as either Axe or fists, and the occasionaly sword only BM. He may not realize these are all path BMs that favor one weapon class.

    My friend's BM has all weapons paths, he uses them all, and they are all up-to-date. I'd say it's possible. b:victory

    Oh, you guys were talking about the 3rd poster, I assumed you meant the threads OP. Obviously I knew Zanryu was being sarcastic. I was pointing out that there was no need to be sarcastic and answering the OP's question.

    When the same questions get asked over and over it gets a bit... redundant. I know it's a bit mean spirited but answering the same questions time and time again gets tedious, it's much more fun to troll.
