Up to you. There are so many combinations.

These are the build that will ensure that you're at a "good" range

1. Pure str Glaive
2. Pure str Blade
3. Pure str Bow
3. Int hybrid Spear
4. Int Hybrid sword

These are the build that is called "joke" by many players

1. Pure int Bow
2. Str hybrid glaive
3. Str hybrid bladers

If you want to go to full int sword, that's ok. As for what skills i can't really help you. But expect to die when mobbed because of your low HP (Even block won't help to save you sometimes).

Hi if you wanna go pure int sword/shield is good because of the block and more defence from shield. You can either go spear skills to get the hp passive or sword for the knockdown and stab.

If you wanna be a strong char pure str is something for you. Pure str glavie/fire is strong because of the hp passive. Pure str blader is strong because of the sheild that gives more defence and block.

i am a str blader and my friend is a int sword. he does 20% higher dmg than me but i have like 500hp more and were just lv16. i really like my blader becuz i die extreemely rarely when not bacause im afk or a npc thief one hit me... then again, i level slower than my friend since i does less dmg, but im a lot safer. in addition, i use more mp pots while he uses more hp pots.
Go Blade:) but really its your choice. do what appeals most to you:survivability but slow killing or fast killing and levling but you die more often.

i win easily cuz he never takes my hp down below half(i have 1300hp). though we only fight nonpots duels because if we were potting it would take five years since we do low dmg as we are spfarming with 9 gap.

i like shield cos of defence and block, but my next char is gonna be str glaive or int spear though....

Yeah ok, but thats normal. If u have a gap like that he can never hit good like a full INT max can hit. I think i go for Kitari's build, is that a good one?

Ok i try to help you here.

So now you're hard to decide whether to choose Str bladder/ int sword?

Str Blader:

1. This is the build which is for hardcore people. Lvling is the slowest for this build.
2. This build also requires a lot of SP, thus making grinding an even tougher choice.
3. However you think this build sucks? NO! This build is the best tanker, rank #1 no doubt. Even the so-called best in dealing out dmg has a tough time bringing this brute down. Imagine, high hp with block.
4. In dmg wise, i think it is one of the weakest dmg but it can still kill people though

Int sword:

1. Levelling is far easier than str blader, however you need 2 nukes (not sure) to kill a monster.
2. Damage is higher than str blader no doubt
3. I am not sure if this build requires a lot of SP but in what i have read, yes you need a lot too
4. However don't expect this build to tank. Yes the block will help but not very much. This build requires you to kill your opponent fast enough before they kill you

Now the choice is yours

Hmm, well, i guess i'll take INT sword, however i'm not sure yet.
In PvP i think blade wins, but i dont like slow leveling and slow kills..
Like i said before i'm thinking of using Kitaris build.
I'm watching PvP in Downhang now, hope i can wednesday make the right decission (Thats bad english i know, but I'm only 12 years old and from The Netherlands.. My english is not so good yet ;-))
Anyway, thanks for ure help!

the one that suits you best. There is no 'better' build, it will come down on the way you play it. Eventually you will follow your own imagination.

And hurray btw, another dutchie playing :)

I just wanna know; Wich build has the most damage? Or, just, wich one is the best xD


About that: I mean, the Kitary's or the mKuura, dont come with glavie STR, that decision is already maded ;-)

i like int sword a lot, because unless you play a lot the int ends up better at pvp since it lvls so fast. Just remember to train with bow at least until lvl 24, (i woulds go til 30) then train by nuking with spear unless you get an awesome sword. Good luck on that. :D

Lawl? Bow skills to delvl later, bad idea ftl?
Ints either gets sword or spear skills...int bow is a joke

Let me know when fast lvling = good at pvp. Bots with gold tickets level fast, are they good at pvp?

Don't give advice till you have played to 64+, or at least 52+...

Isn't Kitary a glavier? mKaaru is int sword iirc.

btw, I'd go with the str blader. look waaaay cooler at 7th/8th/9th degree (both blade/shield looks hawt)

Do a pure str blader. Farm 100k sp. Max out all the bicheon masteries, and max out the lighting buffs/passives. That would be pretty tight build right there.



Realisticly, I like the pure int spear. That's what my build is. I farmed 1.3k sp (not very much in the world of sp farming). At lvl 17 I don't use a single hp potion grinding tigers (black or white) because I deal so much damage (I can crit @ 1200 dmg already {with zerk}, I get around 600 dmg on avg).

But i like shields, and have already bought SoS+4 sword xD

Sword int? Spear int? Blade str? I can't make a choice between this 3..
People, please all answer, and help me out!

Owh, and if u say something like: Str blade! Tell me why, and perhaps u can give me the URL of a good build for that.

PS: I think i liek pure INT sword the most i think.. Perhaps someone can advise me in a pure INT sword build? So please tell me what u like, a build, and if pure INT sword is good+build? Plz!

Pure Str?

Post by stormstorm »

Im pure str blader...fire/light buffs..
I think the main points are listed but..anyway

BAD POINTS OF A BLADER
1. U dun own pvp unless u get AT LEAST ur 2nd stab
(i think..coz tts wad im experiencing now)
And tt 2nd stab comes at lvl45
2. U can see ur guildmates lvls fly past urs as u
have ur fun grinding as the SLOWEST possible
class in terms of lvling.
3. A shield is an extra piece of equipment = extra spendings if u dun wanna compromise survivability for gold

GOOD POINTS OF A BLADER
1. I think blade/shield gotta be the COOLEST
looking equips u can get...(yea yea i noe "looks dun matter" to u..but hey...it makes my day to zoom in and enjoy the aesthetics")
2. U get to maximise a wolf's potential.
3. 3 stabs looks gay
4. I havent died to most pplz my lvl with pots in a
long time..least mobs
5. A br 19/20 shield will get u tt "wtf" everywhere u PvP
6. A crit on stabs really hurts
7. The chains series gotta be the coolest looking
skill set in the game..IMO

I heard u want visual persuasion...Here u go:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rvgxm1-0wMI
This video reaffirmed my choice..while i was wondering " WTF..i cant do no shit with one stab!!!! BLADES SUX"

Kudos...i hope u join the KD kind
