In my experience, because I have played all three builds, bow will go the fastest. Glaive will go second fastest. However, consider how strong you want to be. In reality, bowmen are not very strong and lose pretty often in PvP (person vs. person) fights. If you are just wanting to fight monsters your whole time on your quest to level 80, then maybe bow is for you.
well, imo glavie has worked best for me, with bow as runner up
blades have their advantages, like tanking, but power leveling IS NOT ONE OF THEM!
but, pure int is THE fastest leveling build
hey man, lvling fast is good but what you really want is a VERY strong character at lvl 80. yes, pure str blade is the slowest at lvling, but when you get to lvl 80 you are an INCREDIBLE tanker and with a good br shield its nearly impossible for nukers to hit you hard. being so strong at lvl 80 is like a reward for all the long days lvling.
