In my personal opinion, light armor is a TERRIBLE choice for a blademaster, why? you're as squishy as an archer but you cannot keep your distance from your enemy as they do, we BMs are a close combat class, we need armor that can stand melee hits, even if you have a large hp bar, it will be useless if you're taking twice…

BMs get aggro by sheer damage, but that doesn't mean it's a bad method at all! i've also been able to steal aggro from barbarians that way, moreover a BM's insignia skill, the heaven's flame, causes a pretty large amount of hate towards the BM, why? decent to awesome damage (cala effect + crit) and inflincts the curse…

Short answer: yeah! Long answer: hell yeah! 50% extra acuraccy makes more of a difference than one might think, both in PvP and PvE, it's technically increasing your damage output, because you miss less, therefore do more damage, and in PvP archers and sins are pretty hard to hit, so yes, at least 1 misty forest ring

Yes, but it's a VERY rare status to get, and considering the fact that at lvl 80+, when -interval really starts making a big difference, most people don't grind, but run TT instead to make money, 1 hour grinding is about 100k, 2-1 can be cleared in 1 hour and yields at least 200k for each member if drops are decent, more…

TT90 fists are overall pretty poor when talking about added status effects, but TT90 gold ones are not only poor but dangerous, you'll often end up hurting yourself more than the mob, and considering the fact fists are the weapon with the lowest base damage a BM can get, the x2 effect won't be as useful as it is on axes…

Hmmmmm, barbarian performing better than BM PvE wise? yes if backed up by a squad and only as a tank, otherwise BM has overall higher damage output (barbs are terrible for grinding) and more versatility, i also find BM as a great alternative to barb tanks after lvl 8x, maybe because of the many, many fail barbs i've met,…

My personal suggestion is, stick either to fists OR sword until around lvl 65-70, not both, because on those levels your spirit is very limited, because of the need to max the common skills (aura of golden, roar, aeolian blade, etc.), leaving very few spirit left for the specific tree skills I was a pure sword user until…

Never been on bushido, nor had any friends in there or met anyone past just squading with them, but it's always sad when someone hangs their weapon, bye bye from dyna! enjoy rl!

You transfer a spark by being a veno, no other class can do this and they use the lending hand skill named above

If you like: -High spike damage and big numbers pop up on your screen, wizard is your class -Lower damage than a wizzy but always being able to find a squad that wants you, cleric is for you -High survival chances even if ganked, you're a barb -Versatility to adapt to various different situations, including ending up as…

How do you use the 5 points to become a DD? simple, all BM damage comes from strenght, so focus on str the most (3-5 points per level), also if you want to be a DD at bosses consider branching to fists around 75-78, since they have high dps How to get more hp without using up points? plenty of ways, equips that have +vit…

TT90 gold fists are horrible without a cleric around, and even like that, you're helping the mob to kill you! each hit you land has a chance to reduce your hp by 5% and since fists land hits the fastest, you will be dead in about 1 minute or less Moreover, fists have the lowest base damage from all weapons, which means all…

Unless they're your main weapon, upgrading axes at 80 is not convenient, since calas are pretty strong at AOEs because of the sacrificial strike, i have the TT80 gold armor and legs and they're awesome equips, but they have the inconvenient that they're bound and have no resell value, from what you say it sounds like your…

I'm only 86 but have been a pretty decent tank for quite a while, we could say i'm a "bladebarian", i do have a little more vit than the average BM (current hp is 6k unbuffed) and that helps me survive, i like tanking but i recon i would be unable to do so without fists backing me up and holding aggro, cyclone heel…

We seem to be forgetting the main focus of the topic, claws/fists for PK purpouses, on my personal opinion, they're only good for 1v1 PvP fighting physical classes, which are barbs, assas and other BMs When fighting squishy classes like wizzys or clerics, your best friend is spike damage, which is something fists lack,…

Versatility, definitely versatility, not as healthy as a barbarian, yet much better damage output, so many skills and weapons to use, so many things a BM can do including tank (i hear ya when you say squads should have more faith on BM tanks) There's one thing i hate about being a BM tho, so many skills and weapons = very…

Calas are posibly the WORST possible weapon to use when you don't have a cleric around, they will sap your hp quite fast, i also suggest to get the lion king ones and keep calas for times when you need the spike damage like PvP or TWs I strongly suggest to choose a new weapon path if axes is your only one, you should be…

As mentioned above, yes that's a lot of vit for a BM to have, and yes, maybe the class for you is barb, your dex is REALLY low for a BM your level, and considering fists are a very good endgame weapon, you will need to use a reset note sooner or later Remember, a single-weapon BM at high levels is wasted potential! why…

I agree to fist ulti being the worst ulti skill among all the others until probably lvl 99, my personal opinion about ultis is: HF>GS>MSS>DBB When i branched to fists i didn't even bother to learn it, as 2 sparks go to HF 99% of the time when i'm in TTs FBs FCs etc. HF is a BM's main duty in most squads, here's my 2 cents…

Hmmmmm, it's all about tempo man, which weapon do you want to use first? if you're gonna start as an axe/hammer user, you just need to focus a little on str and can add some points to vit, trust me, at low levels you will WANT that extra health The fist build however is not as forgiving, since they require very high…

Swords CAN get zerk: Mirage Scimitar, TT99 green weapon Berserk: has a chance to make the wielder go berserk, increasing physical attack and attack rate, along with damage taken They can also get useful effects: Firelotus: blade of the dragon TT90 gold weapon Sacrificial strike: has a chance to inflinct double damage at…

Hmmmm, really tough choice, the +2 def is actually worth considering, since diamonds of dragon with a single +1 are plain overran by +10 vit, here's my 2 cents 24 sockets is either 48 def level or 240 extra vit, which in a BM results in 3,600 extra hp and increases to hp regen, physical and mag defenses, small but they do…

Swords are not horrible nor useless weapons, and are actually a great starter weapon, it's just that fists have better dps which makes them a better endgame weapon since they're best for regular attacks, and axes are a must for any BM since they have a lot of AOE skills and the best 2 spark skill, heaven's flame However,…

I would say do not try to do too much at once, 3 weapons is a bit too ambitious for a lvl 6x since you probably won't even have enough spirit to afford the masteries, which are vital for a weapon to be useful If you are axe/sword, then you're automatically axe/pole/sword, at least in terms of being able to equip the…

No, that's why you always have to remember feeding your cat! - feeds PWI's tabby plumdrop I support the theory that somehow, somewhere, sometime, at some point, this was the perfect horn's fault

While i agree it is not an accident, there's no way to prove beyond any reasonable doubt it was not an accident, when confronted by a GM, the person can say "oh sorry, it was a typo, my bad" and change it, and the GM cannot take action against them because it could've indeed been a honest mistake (not saying it was). The…

Yup, as stated above, the cost of the previous refines HAS to be considered when you're transferring refines if you buy dragon orbs all the way to +9 not only it is cheaper than the chienkuns, you get a new item to +9 AND you keep your old +9 item, which is worth quite a bit of cash However, if you transfer the +9 with…

We BMs are one of the most, if not the most versatile class, so **** up a build is hard unless you add points into mag (don't EVER do that), as said above, neglecting vit in hopes of getting extra hp at higher levels can: a) make you an easy target since you live in a PvP server b) make you a burden into a squad, since…

I got no crash, but i have a strong computer (3GB RAM and core duo processing unit) and a 2MB broadband connection (wired ofc, wireless sux), so it really helped, i died on the first "mass AOE" and stayed on the skies afterwards, good thing i did so, since half the server died from the second "mass AOE" and lost valuable…

Well, i'll try not to troll around too much Good things about the event: -we had an event! Bad things about the event -lag, LAG, LAG -only high dps got drops, therefore, only hi levels got benefit from it, and ranged classes had the upper hand since they had high dps and better chances of survival -we just flew from here…
