I am writing this guide because I feel like it, and I will try to make this guide readable, not boring, and it should be enough to cover your "Need to Know about Blader".

[Armour]

Garment


Reasons:

20% less mana usage, you are pure str so you need it a lot.
20% faster running, just another +
20% more magical defense bonus, you are pure str, your magical defense is very low.

[Weapon]

Blade and Shield



[PVP]

In PVP, try to buff up first then when your taking hits use the Shield Technique Series, they will absorb ALOT of the damage. Then try to knock down and fit all your stabs in. Continue until dead ^_^

Maxed Force Piercing Force = 18% magical boost.
Maxed Grasswalk = 77% moving speed gained at lvl 85.
Maxed Ghostwalk = 23 meters at lvl 90.
Maxed Concentration = 34 Parry gained at lvl 89.
Maxed Passive = 33 Parry at 90.

how much defense is 20 ice? 8 from passive, 8 from the soft guard of ice buff, is that really going to cover your needs? you've got a shield which gives you so much defense, you don't really need 16 more physical defense.
And you need alot of speed science you can't kill mobs of your level with just the two ranged attacks.

I used Sro MMO Site for the pictures.

Enjoy!

Looks good, nice job.

You should add, how to pvp with this class, why pure str or int and why a fire blader, ect.

do not add "not necessary if you have pk2 edit" about the invis skill in fire...

and yea add pvp help

Decent guide, but maybe you can go further into explaining the skills....

such as why do you get them (like "do you skip any skills in a tree?") or explain what the skills exactly do...

that and give a reason why to take lightning over Cold or Force...or you can also add cold and force trees, as well...and give pros / cons on them.

i don't see why you should have full lightning.

I loled Anyway nice guide, although it does need a little more detail. Maybe how to PvP each build, or you could whack some YouTube vids up.

Shaka Laka wrote:i don't see why you should have full lightning.

I personally prefer Cold over Light. The main reason why people max Light is for the speed, and parry increase.

is it all good now? PVP Tips and a Vid?
And what ^ said
.................|.................

whatever floats your boat. i'm actually not in the mood to be the 1 millionth person to explain why full lightning is just useless.

Very very short... maybe you should try to elaborate more on the weapons, as in what blues to add, and what stats it would be good to have instead of just posting two pictures of a shield and a blade. Maybe you could try to compare the pros and cons of having light over ice. Also i've found some issues with the skills:
1) Sword Dance Series - Not very useful unless you are in a mob, Optional. The Blade force series is not the only ranged attack. The Sword Dance Series is also, and i find it a lot stronger than the blade force series. I say max Dances.
2) Bicheon Force Series - Decreases your physical defense by heaps and gives you only a bit more damage - Do not take. This only decreases the physical defense on your shield, while increasing your attack. Useful when pvping other str based builds, when a little extra damage can go a long way.

Needs more info about pvp, like what do to exactly against all builds, also how to kill fire wall bowers would be nice.

Add reasons to why being a blader is better then being a bow, ect.

Sorry, my mistake, fixing it.

Can you discuss in the main post why lightning is better for ice?

iscared, its done ^^

Eryklok wrote:iscared, its done ^^

I think iscared meant bich/ice/fire vs bich/fire/light. not 80 light 20 ice.

^Yep, that's what I meant.

Your guide is good dude but you need more details explaining the class and other things.

Maxed Force Piercing Force = 18% magical boost.
Maxed Grasswalk = 77% moving speed gained at lvl 85.
Maxed Ghostwalk = 23 meters at lvl 90.
Maxed Concentration = 34 Parry gained at lvl 89.
Maxed Passive = 33 Parry at 90.

how much defense is 20 ice? 8 from passive, 8 from the soft guard of ice buff, is that really going to cover your needs? you've got a shield which gives you so much defense, you don't really need 16 more physical defense.
And you need alot of speed science you can't kill mobs of your level with just the two ranged attacks.

as a pure STR ur based on physical attacks not on magical attacks at all, the magical buff is hardly noticeable.

100% speed pots cost 250K which is nothing. so 100>77

as a blader u dont need distance, so the teleports arent that important.

the max parry ratio buffs help alot vs bowers and warriors, but not as much as maxed ice buffs, and a good 25-30% snow shield.

oh and ur getting ice 20 for snow shield not the physical defense lawl.

And what about 20% Snow? What about how much of a waste of SP it is to level Light from 80 to 100 for 4% moving increase, 2% mag increase and a few more parry? Someone hasn't thought this through...

well sorry for the arrow, I couldn't be stuffed checking ur name after i pressed reply

And I think that its a bit of waste when u got the high mp draining spells and you got the 20% mana taken of the damage every hit.
+ Your full str, and if you've chosen to get the fire wall you are almost invincible...

Smashing Series - Do not take it until lvl 71 then max the last 2 skills.

In order to max the 4th and 5th book you will have to max the 1st/2nd and 3rd one too?

he's not talking about fire. full lightning is just useless.

FFS, I meant that u got 100 fire so you got the tower, if you read the guide properly (and my post) you would understand so if you max the tower and you go pvp then snow shield isn't gonna do much difference. Having fun quoting my posts?

lol. snow shield makes a lot of difference. and i'll say it again, full lightning is just useless.

Well Bladers need speed more than physical defense which they have alot, and I said that they have fire wall as an alternative.

100 Light is a waste for pure str chars, just a pure sp waste. You need like 200-300k sp for like..nothing, I would prefer the 20% snow and spending like 500 sp then a few % speed like 1.5m phantom and some parry for 200k+ sp >.< That snow makes the difference between tanking 2 or 3 people.

OK GUYS YOU KNOW WHAT?!
Do whatever you wanna do, I made the guide to help people to understand the power of a blader, don't like it? there is tones of other guides just like mine, maybe even better, so if you dont like it, then go find another one, and stop the spam attack.
kthxbai

We're not spamming, we're just wondering why you choose to max light when it's obviously a waste of sp for str chars.
