lmao ice bladers are... well horrible when everyone is fully farmed and gear pimped. Immunity to ice is high nowadays, especially with all these clerics...

lol, you can stack blesses, so if you want to tank: Iron Skin/Mana Skin and 7 Cleric in your Party. Make them all do bless spell, since you can have them stacked lolz.

1) Wrong forum, should be in Characters Skills imo :D

2) Full str bladers that use a combo of fire and ice defense buffs are best imo....although, you can go another way, and get some of the force skills that lessen other's mag and phy attack power and other such things.

Bless needs to be a different lvl afaik..

But yeah...a 1hand with blesses/skins and screens together with his vital increase and a reverse obligation from a lvl 80 cleric (+ his buffs) :o

Vid of Ice Glaive:

For ice blader vids, try to find anything from the 60 cap. There's not much, but I believe "Best SRO Movie" features an ice blader. That was my first serious build at 60 cap, then I switched to fire blade cause I liked the damage and mag defense and everyone called me noob :oops:

Imo the best tank is a 1h sword with clerics and fully buffed and healed, or it could be a blader fully buffed with cleric buffs. But it depends what you call a "tank." IMO a blader isn't really a tank, since it can't agro monsters and doesn't have buffs to help the party survive, but if you purely mean how much hits they can take, the blader does have a low pot delay. Combine that with heals and buffs and you have a great meat shield (better than a warrior w/out iron + mana skin).

Pretty much get a 10 clerics, ranging blesses 1-10, and 3 warriors, lvl 1,2,3 phys and lvl 1,2 morale screens. Get a lvl 80 1H warrior with vital and reverse oblation. Cycle the clerics in/out of pty till you have all 10 bless's, then have warriors screen 3,2,1 phys 2,1 mag screens. Buff him with phys fence and mag fence. Then get two bards in the party with mana and guard tambour.This would have to be done VERY fast, and the bless's would run out sooner or later. But doing this you could easily get over 10K defence + all the damage absorption.
