Hi All,

My main character is a lvl 65 fullSTR blader. It's on gap 9, in june I'll start to farm it hard.

Skill Trees:
Bicheon, Fire and Lightning lvl 56. All of the useful skills are maxed.
Cold lvl 48, Guard of Ice series and Passive skill are maxed.

In my holy opinion I can choose from 2 different ways to make in progress later.

1.) Blader's way

Bicheon lvl 80
Fire lvl 80
Lightning lvl 70
Cold lvl 50 (or lower, maybe delevel to 0. I guess it's not important for a blader)

280/300 masteries. When update including lvl 90 cap comes, I can make both fire & bicheon to lvl 90. It will be a "simple" blader, best tanker, less damage, etc...

2.) Doble-Weapon's way

Bicheon lvl 70-80
Fire lvl 80
Lightning lvl 50
Heuksal lvl 70-80

Cold mastery is deleveled to 0, Lightning on lvl 50 or 60. It could be the best tanker with blade in its hands (HP bonus by Heuksal Passive + shield), has got a better damage with Glaive and strong in PvP by the reason of weapon-shifting.

Or... I can choose pacheon instead of heuksal. Less Hp and increased attack raiting.

I'm waiting for your ideas, advices in connection with these builds. Thx.


----- Edited frm SRT -----

if you plan for a pvp build then you could completely remove light and ice

fire 90
bicheon 90
pacheon 90

if you plan to farm hardcore pacheon would decrease your farm time and the need of speed (due to your lack of lightning)
or delevel lightning when you are done farming and choose your 3rd skill three.

fire will compensate your damage and decrease damage received from int based builds.

bicheon will increase survivability vs all builds

pacheon will do the damage a thing bladers really mis without strong weapons.

when you hit the cap the only thing you want is pvp, so why not waste some cash in alchemy for the 100% increase speed, one of your biggest weakness will be fixed by it

Don't go dual if you plan to be strong on later caps.
90 bich
90 fire
90 light
30 - whatever.

since he is pure str he will need an amazing strong weapon to do decent damage or else he is doomed so a dual weapon is quite a nice "smart" move since lightning can be totally removed for any str based build.

How are you going to level without lightning? Drugs of typhoon? doh.

there is a nice option to delevel your mastery why not abuse it when you hit the cap as a pure str?

+1 you could add 30 in heusk for more hp boost. Light is must for all builds. The drugs for speeed will cost you a lot

hmmmm or wut you could do for this cap and farming at late 70's is
bicheon 69
heuksal 60 (FOR PASSIVE = MORE HP AND BETTER TANKING also can add stunning techniques and kb)
light 69 (extra pr ftw)
fire 69 (gud dmg and also last fire nuke helps for hunting)

Na ok, at first thanx for your help... most of you advise me "stay one-weapon build".

Blade has got a less damage... that is the reason why I wanna change. With Pacheon tree my attack raiting will increase, but the damage won't be as good as a glaiver for example, simply all of my hits will damage bigger.

I guess, the double-weapon build is really kool on the actually cap, if it increases to 90, 300 masteries will be enough for 3 trees (2 weapon and fire for STR)... but imho need to use two force masteries. Well... I'm confused, maybe I will shift to Heuksal simple.

That would be a good option.

well all you got in light for a pure str is speed and parry ratio increase. Both you can do fine without. So if you want you could drop lightning and take heuksal instead. you'll grind slower because of the lack of speed but your increase in dmg from your glavie will make up for that.

yeah i wouldnt go dual, might aswell farm for another force.
