Pure INT Light sword is great, the only problem is that the nuke is weak, but that isn't really a problem since your shield is supposed to block attacks, preferably BR16-18 shields. I don't recommend wearing garments with this build unless you want to get owned badly, probably a armor set or a protector set would be nice.

Pure STR Fire Blade is also great and its my active character. I haven't gotten him to a "high" level yet but he's been able to own anything up to Giant Hychegeons. I also recommend wearing protectors since it gives you a great defense to physical attacks and magical attacks.

Overall, its really up to you. If you want to do high damage, pick Pure INT, but if you want to tank, then Pure STR is for you, but if it was me, i'd choose the Pure INT.

(Better in theifing, and easy to run way with the light build, was fun theifing with XLaw and Avalon members lawl)

If you would have actually gotten to end game you would know that these things change. Bladers dont do shit for dmg and pure int swords do amazing damage, with an ability to tank. In wars no one actually targets the blader seeing as they are no threat, making their ability to tank pretty much a waste. Pure int if you like doing good damage + aoe grinding, or pure str blader with little to no damage, and no active role in group fights.

interestng....well, if i do go int sword, then i should go armor i assume?

Pure INT shall go Armor, Pure STR shall go Garment. Whatever you are (INT or STR) you should go the opposite to protect your weak side. (My opinion, not everyone's.)

Im lvl 16 and i can farm Hychegeons

My vote does to blade, just because the level 64+ blade looks cooler XD
( lol Not really my reason but i think its nice to have that extra str when doing jobs and pvping

)

sword. Trains faster, does more damage, not as much of a bore or pot battle when you fight a str glaive. Honestly, I think I would probably just leave the keyboard if I was fighting another str with a blade.

Pure str blade is soooooo boring.

I am not sure about pure str glavie.

Pick an int build if u want MORE fun out of the game.

P.s Theres no such thing as a "perfect build"
each build has it own weakness.

pure int can wear gament and str blader can wear armor. end game, garment for int is more workable than the general population think it is. quicker movemetn for job wars especially if you're fighting aong jangan/ferry area where speed is a necessity. you get gang banged, you tele, that's it.

the magician from xian server wears garment. coz he uses tablets. and of course, he has a sosun shield as well.

im beggining to like protector set 8th degree, especially the shoulder. but im still going for full armor for my hybrid. flesh is weak, lol!

ss int will win... why?

blader dont get huge damage as glaver (no chance to 1hit)

Blader dont have stun as glaver (you cna swap shield and pot )

Blader have shield, SS too

SS do higer dmg with nuke than blader

SS have kd/stab too

Blader have more hp than ss but he have lower dmg
