Are Bladers all that great?

[leehyori26]

Ok well i have plans to make a blader and all my friends keep telling me to just to not farm for it and farm for bow. My question is are bladers as good as people say and if i were to choose one should i choose:

100 Fire/Bich/Ice
100 Fire/Bich/Thunder
100 Fire/Bich 80 Thunder 20 Ice
100 Fire/Force/Bich

(Drugs are not that big of a deal for me)

Thanks

100 Fire/Bich/Ice -this one since your ok with speed drugs
100 Fire/Bich/Thunder -waste of sp to max lightning* as an str
100 Fire/Bich 80 Thunder 20 Ice -good overall build, but light is really just for speed as an str
100 Fire/Force/Bich -not a fan of force so I can't give an unbiased opinion on this build

bladers are really good pvpers, they're amazing tanks. If your big on pvp and are ok with slower leveling, which it sounds like your getting pleveled anyways, I'd take blader over bower personally.

If you don't mind paying for speed pots then go 100bicheon/100fire/100ice. Best pvp build for a blader IMO.

I was a force blader and it was a lot of fun but anyone with holy spell pretty much ruins tht subclass. Also it took me ages to be able to use force in pvp cos it only really starts getting good at high lvls when u have debuffs.

Personally i would go with light80cold20 to start with and see if u like it

Ive had an almost capped Blader (Lvl 88 at 90 cap) and the one thing I noticed and hated is the time it takes to kill someone. In PvP its pointless fighting another Blader, and other Str builds take a while to kill. As for Ints, you just got to tank them long enough until their Snow runs out.

Im more of a group fighter though, I like my Job wars and FW's ^^ And thats where the Blader gets kinda boring imo. You dont want to be spending a long time killing each person, you want to kill that person asap, then move onto another person.

Anyway if you are going to go Blader, I'd go with the most popular Str build. Its the most popular for a reason. Bich 100, Fire 100, Light 80, Cold 20.

Nice overall build, and the Cold 20 will make is godly at tanking.

umh, i'd always wanted a blader. and i didn't make one and my characters never felt complete until i made one. it was sweet being able to tank, but i wanted damage and to be able to kill people. anyways, i was blader till lvl 82 (finished dlvling bich today) and i switched to glaive. i couldn't kill very many ppl my lvl with bicheon. now that im glaive though, i am wrecking people left and right, but also, i have a +5 wep, and my gear is +4/+5/+6. im lvl 87 now and loving glaive over bich. but if you wanted a blader, make one and once you get tired switch, but if you don't make a blader you're always gonna want one and not be happy.

Yea thts definitely an annoying part about being a blader. There have been times when i just haven't had enuf damage to finish off someone and they manage to stay alive with blocks and emergency heals.
