Glaive or Blade

Post by Lempi »

Tommorow i'll have a grand total of 2000 silk, and i will be switching from Bow to either Glaive or Blade, but i cant decide what.

Im currently level 85 and have fairly well farmed Pacheon. If i switch to Glaive, i will need only 9000 sp to have it fully farmed at 85, and atm i have around 10,000sp so that wont require me to farm anymore.

Blade would require the HUGE amount of 118,000 Sp to be fully farmed ay 85, but that is for every skill. I wont get every skill on Heuksal.

So, help me decide. If i switch to blader, i have a gap, if i switch to glaiver, i will have a 0 gap upto 90.

I would stay bow.
Or switch to blade.
Well this is my personal perfernce bow has range and blade has sheild.
Glavie has hp but no extra block or def or range.

When I pvp the easiest build to kill are builds that use spear or glavie.
blade/sword are annoying cause of there sheild and there statues effect.
Bow has teh first hit and has High Critical and that knock back you can use twice in a row.

But I would switch to blade. :)

I have always liked glaive, and i dont really pvp alot. Yes, i like the fact bow has an easy knockback and its saved my ass quite alot.

The only thing putting me off Blade is the amount i need to farm
As for the range, running a little doesnt bother me.

I'd like some more opinions.

If you delvl Pacheon for Bicheon with silk *which I'm assuming your doing* you'll get a a bunch of sp back. For 28 silk you can buy 5 "Skill Reallocation Potions" that give you 100% of the sp back from that skill. Thus solving your sp problem by putting the sp you put into Pacheon into Bicheon.
Tada! :)

Yeah i will be using silk, and no need to spell things out, i've been playing this game for 3 years.

And the sp i need is on top of what i will get back from deleveling pacheon. The combos and buffs ect for Bicheon take alot more sp than pacheon.

ya pacheon is the cheapest sp wise of the chinese weapon trees

If you're going to switch switch to blade but thats just me, if you like glaive then go for it, but 200 dollars just to change your build.... are you sure you wanna switch?

dont listen to people glaive is pretty fun to play with and does very well in pvp and pvm i would switch to blader if i were you but do you really want to farm that much sp? at cap 100 your going to need 9192939123 sp

so glaive is pretty safe its a good all around build

edit just use silk for high level skills and use curst hearts for the lower level ones

Don't like pvp? Don't go blader. IDK why you'd lose bow if you're a PvE player. Bladers are good in pvp but need to be fullfarmed. Glaivers are pretty strong and do good damage. Problem is the defense. Whats your subs, fire/light? what gear? moar info pl0x

btw is this j00?

i searched Lempi and got the guild then looked at the only 85 archer >_>

if that is you, go glaive but plan on making a +3/4 armor set if you really wana be a beast at cap, to tank warriors. glaive in garm can tank pretty well.

interesting idea, id say use glavie til 90 for faster lvling but dont get anymore skills and try and get some sp along the way, then once 90 switch to blade for the better pvp and kd and stab which i truly find very annoying seeing how i've never had the pleasure of doing so -.- then run around giving statuses and blocking having fun like a fat kid at a cake convention.

Did you even read what he wrote... he said he was bow =.=
Stay bow, maybe swap your build to force if you want to be more pvp orientated, trust me maxed light on a bow is epic fail.

Damn dude, spend 200$ just to change build? Well, your call.. I wouldn't switch at all, but if I was, I'd go blade. Glaive seems NO fun.
Also, my 42 blade pwned lvl 45 glaives.

My char is Lempi, ziddy is my brother but he is playing on Venus now in BHA, so he is letting me use his char and said i can switch it, if i pay :roll:

And i do like to pvp, but i havnt really pvp'ed much as my main char was only level 54 till now.

I've decided im going to switch to glaive as it uses less sp, but im going to open a 9 gap for a few weeks first.

Thanks for replies.
