Blader:

Is it true that bladers lvl REALY slow compared to Heukstal and Pacheon?

What is the best build for a blader?

Do the skills get boring after a wihle?



I'm starting again with sro (played Cabal)

i'm not a blader so i wouln't know the "best" skills

[olaf13]

Thnx

takes them longer to kill monsters?... ==> less kills / hour ==> less exp / hour gain

[olaf13]

THNX that will not be a problem for me =)

they lvl. slow because they deal very low dmg PER HIT.....mainly cuz they use chains and they take long time to use...nukers hit hard per hit and glavie also so it takes a lot less time for them to kill a mob.

Bs. I'm a full STR Blader and if you use the build well, you can be just as fast as other STR Builds.
I lvl faster than a Glaivier.

[mmsicis]

[Wheatys]

if you wanna kill in pvp try going hybrid for a few lvls ^^


youll also lvl faster

The problem is that the heuksal range skills are not often to use. They have a long cool down. I mean that you cant only kill with the ranged skills. Maybe if you have all 3 books, but that took a while till you can have all. With blade is that differently, there you got on lvl 31+ 2 range skills. But don't lvl the second range skill up. You don't have to, cuz you just need lvl 1 to be able to activate the second book. But you have to use the most time normal skills like the combos. That few ranged skills will make ya not that good on lvling. I use them only to "tell" the monster to come to me and for lower mobs, if i don't find a place on higher lvl mobs, cuz of the botters there.

Generally, i advise you not to go to blade. Bladers are very bad for lvl 80. Even pure int and int hybrids are doing hard if they use the bicheon skills to kill. The only thing that you are: A super tanker, with the ability to kill very weak ppl. You're a supertanker, but thats only cuz of your shield and the hp and the thing, that all guys make to less damage compared to that what you can tank with only one pot. You can recover around 5k hp with one pot. Thats why pure str characters are generally to weak in 1on1. They make very weak damages and cant kill ppl with a good gear(not sosun, just good) without very nice weapons or some crits. Whatever, if you want to have a lot of hp and if you want to lvl very nice, then go pure str bowman. There you can level the fastest way a pure str character and if you want to stay alive, if groups of guys attack ya, then use a shield. It will save your life many times. Every high lvl have a shield... So i ask ya, for what is a blader good, if he cant deal the right damage, but hes able to tank that good, cuz of that shield. Its useless to have bladeskills, thats what it tells ya. Make glavie or bow. Bow seems to be able to stay a little bit longer alive on lvl 80, cuz the backstep skill seems to work better than this one of glavies. But remember that bladers will get his time of honor back, but not that soon. Bladers are then the best characters, if the guys cant pot that much hp with one pot compared with the damage that you can make. On lvl 100 they are going to be again some good characters, because we don't get new pots and have to use that pots we have now. It will need time till we have that, till then you're on a good way with a pure str bow, but only if you want at all costs a tanker. If you want to have more fun, then go int hybrid. 80%/80% bow/spear for lvl 80 and for lvl 90 70%/90% spear or 80%/80% bow. That are nice characters, that are good balanced between damage and "tanking".

i think so, coz my level 42 str blader takes 3-4 times longer to kill monsters compared to other classes, i end up being ks by int nukers who can one hit them

[Dragonzer]

well, i dont know if it is fast or slow, but from lvl 41 to 47 i got 1 lvl every 3 hours of my gt. so i think its quite fast.
