Blade = str char. not int.

The only reason an int char would use a blade is if he couldn't find a better sword.

And weps for nukers is split between swords & spears. Spear gives more dmg, but shield gives more def. I think more int chars use spear, but the ratio is only like 60/40 (spear/sword), imo.

So, yes, that's probably why SOS swords are cheaper.

[edit] The reason I mentioned blade at first is b.c the original thread title said "why are there so few pure int bladers??" The OP pulled a switcheroo on me with the title.

Do ppl still say that..."hip" & "dawg"? Ya know, not "dog" but like "what's up my dawg?" 8)

Oh yea, hybrid sword FTW!! :D

Yea, In my opinion Int hybrid sword is the best build you can
make as an Int. It survives pretty well in pvp and kills fast.
What's to hate :P

Just my experience.

j00 lie!

Look at the page source and search for the string "why are there so few pure int bladers"
You'll see that the very first reply (before mine) used that title instead of "swords".

Not to mention that when you quote and look at the Subject line it says "bladers"

I don't want to make this post about me so sorry original poster if I side tracked ur topic, hopefully I added to it.

I have been playing since last June around there.

I remade from a bow user and then made my nuker, but other then that I have been focusing on this guy only and a few noobs on pacific and Alexander.

I just switched over to sword today, I just couldnt take spear anymore.

But Spear = high dmg and good for farming or trading.

Sword = overall good and pvp hardcore, best survival.

Pure Ints have the worst time no matter the weapon so u usually see them duel sword/spear.

I hate dueling weapons to much hassle so I did spear till 8th degree, or close to it and now I am all sword.

Check me out - Pure Int:

As you can see low hp and low defense, I struggle alot and die from crits easily.

I have already decided on going pure Str when Euro (If ever) comes out.

Probably a duel axe Warrior, it sounds cool and I love duel weapons in both hands, not ones you constantly hotkey switch with.


Nice yellow bars :P

Screw you Bakemaster.

I just wanted to post about pure int sword users and now you turned this into a bot topic..

I don't bot, if I did I would probably die as I already struggle while hand grinding in the caves and I am sure the bots I see having sex with the walls would surely delvl me by now.

Actually, if anyone turned this into a bot topic, it would be you by posting a screenshot of your GUI containing pretty solid evidence that you bot.

And if not you, then it would be Sagan who pointed that out.

And if not Sagan, it would be LuV3r8o1 who gave you a hint that you didn't take.

This has been a bot topic for the past dozen posts, and I find it amusingly ironic that the only person who didn't understand this was the bot.
LOL
