Sword or Blade?

[Magius]

Im pretty new to this game and I would like to know which is better for a tank.

I was planning on going high in both Bicheon and Cold for the defence.
use the rest of my skills in Force for self healing.

i know +str adds to your HP and blade uses str.

but would i need high int for and of my cold/force spells?

if so then ill need to lose str for int and use a sword, which is int based.

Please, which would i use if i want to tank!

Chinese blader is the best tank in the game but slow lvling and low damage. If you want to tank good ONLY put str up. Hybrid isnt too good for bladers.

To be a tank, you must be Pure STR. That means you have to use the STR based weapon, blade.

Don't think Force would be really helpful for self healing. The HP pots can do a better job. Unless you want to resurrect others.

Cold would be good for the phy def buffs and it's imbue can freeze mobs.

A STR character will need fire to support it's lack of Mag def. Fire buff can increase phy dmg too. Fire imbue is highest in dmg.


To sum it up, you should use a blade.
