to answer your question about bladers, the reason is cause you havent acheived 2 kds and 2 stabs. that is basicaly the blader's power source in pvp. also, the abilities at these levels can vary a lot cause people have different sp amounts and gaps. so yea.


but its true that bladers dont get too good until they get more skills to use.

mmm, my method is , frostnova (dont really need it) Kd book 2, if it fails Kd book 1, stab, (i dont have book 2 stab yet) a evil cut blade, then repeat. Depends if my first frostnova froze him or frost bit him, if not at all, i wouldnt use it again.

or i sometimes change the opener with evil cut blade > Kd bk2 > stab (kd bk1)

i hardly use chains, as they can pot it off, unless u have a good weapon or agaisnt low level ppl, in my opinion, i dont find it very useful.

1 vs 1 PVP:
Continuous KDs+Stabs NO CHAINS, NO RANGE ATTACKS

Only times chains and ranged attacks might be good is when trying to beat down a firewall/icewall that nukers cast. As soon as youve gotten rid of that switch back to KDs+Stabs.

Reason: These are your strongest skills and when they crit they do EVIL dmg.

yea, i agree with matronyx. the chains do more dmg over time but the kd+stabs do the highest single hit dmg. so faster dmg is kd+stab. the reason you cant win in pvp until u get 2 stabs and 2 kds i think is cause you can end up having to wait for the enemy to get up after u stab them. and with 1 kd u cant guarentee a kd (50% for each hit. 2 hits is 100% kd).

chains are good for pve cause u save mp i think. thats my theory.

I got this question...

Who is more powerful a hybrid blader (2:1/str:int) or a pure str ?


My friend told me that once both reached high level a hybrid will own the pure str cuz of the additional magical damage done by the hybrid.

will anyone confirm this ? thanks

pure str blade is better.

blade's rely on crits. with a pure str u can crit really hard. plus u have extra hp

pure str > str hybrid

agreed...pure str has more hp and more phy def and more phy dmg.

im not sure if the extra magic increase will help considering its already really low. iono.

ok now ikm a bit confused. im creating a str fire blader. i have decided to go for fire as imbue. chaud said that i need light lv60 or more cuz i would be 2 slow otherwise.
that seems wise but i cant help feeling ice buff is necessary?
the passive and the other gives 80+def together right?
thats quite a lot.
but light gives 65% running speed which is veerry nice 2 have..

You can get ice and light to 60. That would leave you with fire and blade at 90 .
Since we arent looking to get the lvl 90 cap update anytime soon though I wouldnt purposefully gimp my char, id bring fire,blade,ice,and light to 70 since no new skills are mentioned to be added before the lvl 90 cap is raised.
By then im sure you would have saved up enough money in game to worry about reseting ice and light to 60.

u will be ok in garms, but it will just be a waste of pots, and dude theres a long way from when u get in the cave at 61 till nachals, so get prot or armor and then when u are maxxed get garms.. :)

i had a plan like that....but it failed....it failed miserably....cave sucks, too hard to find a spot, sp farming is boring as hell, so i armed myself with a arsenal of reallocation potions and uninstalled everything, got bicheon to 68, fire 65, some lightning and now i can PvP my ass off....and im happy :D

You have to max book 1 (that's level 18) in order to get book 3

Fire>Light>Cold

The physical damage buff is indispensable. Next is grasswalk for speed in PVP. Finally, if you have the SP, get cold for extra phys def.
