best way to be happy in silkroad is choose the one your most comfortable with.

bowman are fast lvling build can own most nukers in pvp. VERY HIG CRIT

glaive take ther enemys out fast high damage build. they take nukers out fast

blade depending on gear they can take out come glaive and bowmen. they can tank nukers and kill them

i might me wrong on blade and glaive , cuz i am bowmen my self

Personally while bowmen are fast lvlers and good int killers thats about all the can do unless you've got sos weapons. Whenever they're in pvp they take non-stop damage which can quickly overwhlem a player.

Glaivers are the balanced str build. They're good at pvp then can canel attcks with the stun or knockback. Also with a good crit a glaiver can hold his own against almost any build 2-3 lvls higher imo...except for maybe another glaiver

Bladers and the hardest one to build they lvl slowly and do the lowest damage. With a good crit and BR bladers can become devastating. The suk at PvE but rule in PvP. Im pretty sure that most impossible build to kill is a pur str ice blader (but they can't really kill anything either)

bow (both pure and hybrid): sucks in pvp badly, can't kill nothing

glaive: killer no. 1 with tanking ability, can kill everyhing except blade

blade: can tank everything, can't kill nothing

nuker: great damage dealer, tanks less than glaive/blade

Will be my desidion alone. Good thing is i have lots and lots and LOTS of time due to my full farming :roll:

...lol

It depends what you are most comfortable with.

Within the week I myself am gonna restart as a pure str blade, gonna farm as much as my patience will allow at lv 16.

Why do I choose blade? It is simply my style. I'll explain styles to you:

Bow: You like to play just for fun. You enjoy pve and like the look of the bow skills. You love hearing the crit noise, and even ksing other players :wink:

. You prefer the hunter and trader jobs, and don't mind dying in pvp (though it won't be THAT often, it WILL happen).

Glaive: You play alittle more hardcore. You prefer pvp over pve, but can't stand long leveling times. You want to hit the cap fast, and own quickly. You don't mind boring skills (glaive has REALLY boring skills, they get old fast). You love being able to hit the highest crits in the game (Which are higher than pure int nukes). You don't like to die, but you can stand dying every once in a while, as long as you can come back for revenge :twisted:

. You have no job preference, glaive works effectively in all of them, although is probably least effective as a hunter.

Blade: You are considered the most hardcore player. You LOVE pvp to the point that you don't care about your insanely low leveling speed. You can hit greatly with a crit, but it's still not the highest. You love the look of blade skills (honestly, who doesn't?), and love fighting stylishly. You like to look your best (Blade, shield, and garments is definately the coolest look in the game). You can't stand dying (this is why I want to be a blade, I hate dying so much). Blade can honestly work ANY job with the HIGHEST effectiveness. As a hunter, they can use snake/petal (especially petal) dance to destroy the thiefs, and can hold their own, and eventually kill any player thief that may come along. As a trader, they are the least likely to get popped, it's almost impossible (seriously). As a thief, they are such powerful tankers, that they can rob an entire union by themselves (There's a video out there, I can't find it though).

I prefer blade most of all, although it seems that most people like glaive.
Blade is just my style, I don't care about leveling slow, I want to be awesome in pvp and never die, as well as being a great jobber

nice try raingul new point of veiw for me a bit subjectiv thou( there is 2 times more about blader then about bow and glavie

) but still blader goes to dam slow kill slow as well u have to have great gear to do something whit it i like kiling fast and i think of thiefing as job ( most dinamic one and most interesting in my opinion easyer to lvl then hunter) still didnt decided do i wanna have some fun( bow) or go whit fast killing tanking machine(glavier)..bah have enought time for that ( about month more i would say :cry:

)

Yeah, I did say alot about blade, but then again, there is alot to say

If you cut out the jobbing part of the blade section, it's about the same length as glaive. There isn't much to say about bow though.

Check out the guide in my sig (It's basicly the same as what I said, but just better

). The good thing is that you're farming.

Make SURE you choose what you want, because I have a lv 32 who has lv 22 glaive, lv 24 bicheon, lv 32 bow, lv 24 ice, lv 25 fire, lv 19 light, lv 14 force. And I made him AFTER I had learnt all about the game.
I started out as a blade, then glaive, then bow, and I'm still not sure if that was a good idea. But I'm not playing much anymore, so.

Anyways... Just make sure you make a good decition, and stick with it.

ty rainigul again for best whishes but now i have two new questions that i HAVE to ask:

1.Why a LOT's of people like blader and say hes so stylish and they admit he has realy prob whit killing and build has to be spotless blade and shield also ..only then he can kill adn be a treath in base he is ultimate tanker hes primary goal is defensive not to kill but still ppl here like bladeres a lot......qustion is simple..WHY? :shock:

..is it becouse hes stylish?...is it becouse he looks the best and is very hard to kill ( glavier can kill em) ?....or why if there are another reasons becouse these do not look good enought to me?

2.Where can i find info about 90 cap it look like that will be essential for my choice lots of ppl are talking about these new skills?? plz if u have any info on this reply asap

P.S I HOPE THIS IS ANOYING ENOUGHT FOR SHADOW TO GIVE ME YET ANOTHER USEFULL LINK

another P.S. Rainigul that sig of yours is darn CUTE
