I have been researching and i see that pure str > pure int by alot. I want to know which weapon and build i should get, all i know that im getting fire for imbue and buffs and lightning for buffs, but i want to know which of these weapons are better:

Bow: Long-Range, High Crit, Very high damage when in Crit.
Blade: Tanks the lowest damage, shield=block, high defense, given pots bladers can fight for days, knowdown and stab ability
Glavie:High Damage, Medium defense, knockback ability

Which one should i choose?

Pure is only barely > Pure Int and only in a few cases.

Pick what you like best.

thats some stupid advice, you are supposed to help me and tell me what would be best in pure str situations, so help me!

He can't really help you with that. There is no best weapon, it depends on the situation, your preferences and wether you mean PvP or PvM.

Thats a stupid comment. At higher levels, Two completely maxed out pure str bladers and glavies are almost even. It turns out to be a huge pot fight, or whoever has the most money and the best stuff lol. Which most fights, best gear is the factor. Bow i dont really know about.

And lightning buffs? lol. Only get grasswalk and concentration. The pierce series does almost nothing for pure strs and waste SP. Dont criticize cuch for speaking the truth. There is no best build, each and every one of them has its weaknesses and advantages. Pick what you would like best, you already know the advantages and have them listed, what are you waiting for.

in most cases in pvp, fights can seriously tilt in any players favor. as a bower i win from lucky crits against glaviers, and glaivers can win when they stun.
Ultimately, we cant choose the build and wep class for you, b/c there is no perfect build; everyone has personal preferences and opinions so there is no general agreement.
with that said, go bower >.<

try one class out, if you dont like it, make a new character

Well Str v Str=pot battle

Str v Int=pot battle

Int v. Int=pot battle

It's all a matter of gear, crits, KD, etc.

Pick the type of weapon you like best and you can't go wrong.

OK, if you think about it, blader's have the advantage when it comes down to looking at gear.

Say you got every piece of equipment with +500 hp. Well, that would mean the blader will alway have 500 more hp than glaive/bow because of their shield. Same goes for other attributes you add to the equipment.

Also, (imo) bladers have the best moves and gear, aesthetically speaking. Can't argue about how useful KD is either.

Nah, you can only put hp on head chest and legs. Plus glaive has the passive which gives them around 1k hp. Bladers are able to add more +str to their gear because of shield though.

Damage ----> Glaive.
Survivability ----> Blade.
Range ----> Bow.

'Nuff said. Choose what you want.

Ok i think i'll put forward the Pros and Cons of each Pure Str type

Advantages:

Bow: Long range, high damage with crit, kills before things get to you -> save hp pots, good with fire/ice, crits extremely often with Anti Devil Bow series, lvls up fastest
Glavie: Has Stun, has knockback, beats pure str bow in pvp, great combos at lvl 47, highest damage of all
Blade: Best with ice, Freeze+Knockdown+Shield makes it almost invincible in pvp

Disadvantages

Bow: Gives damage slowly, if frozen in the middle of a move it stops loading unlike glavie or blade which give high damage in combos. Combo is low damage and not much use until lvl51, has no special ability like knockdown,knockback, stun
Glavie: Low chance of critting, Doesn't do well against hyrbid nukers
Blade: lowest damage of all, takes far too long to lvl up, able to stall in pvp but not able to kill in a pure str v pure str battle

so u want to play pvp or pve/pvm ?

dun blame ppl for not giving you enuff info

itz up to you, int ---> high dmg nuking
str ----> tanking

Depending on how you play str>int or int>str in pvp. all bout the player, not the character
