Wow, first of all, use grammar. Kinda hurts the eyes. :roll:

In a PvP fight, at the LEVEL CAP, and this is mostly pertaining to a PvP fight at the CURRENT Level Cap, it'd be more of a pot battle. Bladers can't kill another Pure STR, but another Pure STR also cannot kill the Blader, unless the Glavier / Bowman is decked out in full SoSun, or something of the sort.
Glavier deals alot more damage than Bladers, at the expense of having less defense. A Blader's defense is what makes it so amazing - it's tanking ability is legendary. However, that comes with the price of slow leveling. A Glavier will ALWAYS level faster than a Blader, because they deal more damage.

If you're going to go Glavie, go for the Heuksal, Lightning, and Fire Trees - perhaps Cold. Heuksal and Fire, first and foremost. Then Lightning, and then Cold.

For a Blader, go for Bicheon, Lightning, and Fire Trees, and perhaps Cold as well. :P This time, Bicheon and Fire, first and foremost. Keep in mind that a Blader will have to farm more to be a decent Blader, than a Glavier will have to farm to be a decent Glavier.


It would help if you had more specific questions.

If you plan on the 90 cap, Bow is a very good choice... and well, i like bow, but glaive is pretty good too.

Blades take long to train and are not killers, if you want to be the ultimate tanker who won't pwn anyone often, go ahead.

He's right. Although you didn't ask about Bows, at the 90 Cap, with the new Stun moves, Bowmen will be deadly as hell.

i have been told knockback and stun for bow takes a wile to use like 4-6secs thats stupid u will already be hit by then wich makes the skill somuch less effective if it is true well im not going to be blader that for surei would like to go with gliave i think

I know he didn't ask about bows but... (reads the red words)

Just an option... ranged dmg with the same powers than a glaive of Stun and KB... ahh i'll get there someday, Euro is here, there's only Legend VI skills left (playing on cSRO).

Dunno if pure STR only, i think STR Hybrid, and the 70:70/80:80 will be good too.

Besides, you can always Ghost-walk away to shoot Strong Bow, specially after KB.

But they have ranged attack hehe they are godly in PvE, and, with a good strategy, can be very good at PvP, this is not a build for hack and slashers like glaive: SSS --> GSP, Repeat until crit, or being killed hehe

Strong bow casting time has been reduced dramatically.
full STR bow for an allround great build.
