I'd stick to bow! If I could just switch my char for an archer XD I'd do it any second of the day.

trust me, bow looks cool, but so lame the moves are the same.

would a 11d blader do okay damage for solo grinding. like 2 skills kill?

Blader itself is so much fun, but leveling solo is boring. When ur in a pt then it ain't that bad. But i'd go glaive(because it's my favorite).

When you want the best PVP char you should go blader:)
It's boring for lvling, but with PVP it's lot's of fun:D

And Glavie is nice lvling, but PVP it's not that good:)

Go blade if you don't have a problem with sp. blader will rock you. :D
You will not get bored since every new skill of a blader has a new style.

The moves are ALWAYS the same, also as blader, lol :roll:

Maybe you just prefer the blade skills (they're awesome indeed) BUT they're just as much "the same" as archer, nuker, wizard, glaive etc.

Love my lvl 102 blader, as they say above it is boring solo grinding because it takes longer to lvl, but when your in an 8man (as I am most of the time) you lvl at the same speed as every1 esle. Very nice at pvp with all the debuffs you give out (against another blader...pot war tbh), I had a 90 bower awhile back and it was boring, arrow skills all look the same to me. Glavie is the talent people take for overall play its a good build for pvp and pve.


P.s. Bladers are the Gods of Silkroad :P
if your good at it ofcourse.

Good choice, Str Glaives are solid builds and the weapon has a nice design every degree, haven't seen an ugly glaive design yet.

You wouldn't want to wield the fugliest weapon in the history of SRO right now; the 11D Blade and its pink shield o_0. Super gay combination, the blade even has a red gay shirtless man drawn on it, did failmax hire a homo to design the blade or something? The Blade would have been ok without the spiked disk added on and the drawings.

Blader will need more money than glaiver cos if u want to pimp then u gotta pimp ur shield and ur blade unlike glaivers that only gotta pimp their glaive. But if glaivers wanna own in pvp they still pimp their shield too. :D

JUST DROP ONE OF YOUR FORCE SKILL TREE AND TRY ARCHER/GLAVIER

THAT'S WHAT I AM DOING SINCE GLAVIER IS ALSO BORING IN GRINDING.
ITS IS ALSO GOOD IN PVP IF YOU KNOW THE COMBINATION OF SKILLS.

TRUST ME YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.

Everything is boring when its overdone. The thing with glaive is you only need to do 2-3 moves max to kill a mobs; it has the highest damage output out of the three chinese str builds.

Its true we might go pimp ourselves a shield but it doesn't need to be a super nice one, just a regular +3-+5, str int blue max of course and a ok block ratio like 14; more is better but we only whip it out for a short time while bladers need their shield out 24/7.

Even when the going gets tough, glaives are able to roll with the best and we don't need SOX to do that. Glaives will rise again in the final caps or atleast these three builds Glaive, Warrior and Bow/Blade but what I'm not so sure is if it's the hybrid or pure versions of these masteries.

In JSRO, hybrids are whooping pures now with the huge HP gained at these cap and because they are able to hit higher too. What is always sour at the beginning is always sweet at the end.
