Blademaster

Doesnt have as many hitpoints as a barb but is alot more powerful. AOE attacks are what blademasters are known best for although they can make great tanks and great damage dealers also. A great all around charachter.

BLADES: This type of Blademaster is the, without a queston, best damage-dealer Blademaster in a 1v1. They have the highest damage output against bosses, and in fair pk/duels due to amazing skills, and weapon speed(for bosses). At leve 90, the golden Dragon Blade is a testiment to the Blademaster's awesomeness... You will hit so hard and fast, you'll probably laugh at yourself out of pride. However, you'll have less HP than a spear or axe Blademaster, and less defensive power. Due to a l ack of AoE skills, you are less than wanted for Territorial War, and in PK, you won't be as effective as a spear or axe Blademaster.

For a pk build, you need enough STR to wear heavy armour, enough AGI for your sword, and the rest to CON. Accuracy problems are solved with rings, and pills.

SWORD/BLADE WARRIOR

---All-around Build---

every odd level: +3 str/+1 agi/+1 con
every even level: +2 str/+2 agi/+1 con
*every x5 level (level 5, 15, 25, 35, etc): +3 str/+2 agi

so for example, you should look like this:

level 1: str - 5, agi - 5, con - 5
level 2: str - 7, agi - 7, con - 6
level 3: str - 10, agi - 8, con - 7
level 4: str - 12, agi - 10, con - 8
level 5: str - 15, agi - 12, con - 8
level 6: str - 17, agi - 14, con - 9
level 7: str - 20, agi - 15, con - 10
level 8: str - 22, agi - 17, con - 11
level 9: str - 25, agi - 18, con - 12
level 10: str - 27, agi - 20, con - 13
...
level 20: str - 52, agi - 36, con - 22
level 30: str - 77, agi - 52, con

this is the best i think if you want to AoE, this is a Dual Axe build.

Stats Allocation:

-General build: Put enough Str and Dex for weapon requirement. (Armor too depending on which type) Then put the rest in Vit.

-Elite build: If you are lvl90+ with elit gears(+8 or more) Then Put enough Str to wield weapon then rest in Dex. This build have base Vit, but the HP is still supurb due to your awesome gears. With so much Dex your critical rate and Accuracy will make you unstoppable.

Skills Allocation:

tiger strike (useless)- leave it at lv 1
short burst (useless,useful at duel only) - leave it at lv 1
stream strike (useless,eat vigor) - leave it at lv 1
aeon blade (ur 50% stun tat doesnt eat vigor or fury) - max it

dragon emerge(ur only long range) - max it
rock rive slash(ur %% melee slow) - leave it at lv 1
frantic draco slash(half aoe) - leave it at lv 1

sprint(run fast 15s) - MAX
diamond sutra(recovers 20% hp) - lv 1 enough,just take the 20%,MAX IT LATER ON (max after lv 5x)
& Both marrow muscle sutra - MAX
which makes u 1 side weak 1 side strong,
superior defeat a wb def when is def side switch on,
superior defeat a mg mdef when mdef side switch on,
but the other side is a crap.

& tiger leap, dragon soar - skip it until u needed it for CHASING PVP
Striding scroll sprint - skip it..until u needed for another sprint boost,

Auric shield barrier(def+) - MAX
Axe pole mastery - MAX
