Hello =D
I have 2 accounts, 1 which has a lvl 49 pure str bow and 1 which has a lvl 45 blade.
The blade is pretty bad, it IS pure str but I accidently lvled 1 point on int.. Oh well, not too bad.
Anyways, my bowman is bugged and almost everytime I login I get dc'd. Hell, everytime I log in I get dc'd!!
I dont wanna be bothered and try to fix the bug, because It will just waste my time.\
There's a guide here which expalains how to do it, but I'll have to die like 5 times by special mobs, ah I don't know.
BACK TO MY QUESTION! :p
I might as well go back to my blade.. Problem is I had this blade back at 70 cap and I was'nt such a good player back then, so I just lvl'd all masteries =D
I believe blades are the PERFECT tankers.
Full sos set, with high BR and a few pimped items can make you godly.
Here's what I need you to help me with (that is, if you can ):
I want a force blade.
It may sound bad, but ive been lurking these forums since 2007 and I've seen MANY weird builds..
Pure int bow, 70:70 Hybrid Bow with ice and force.. Hell, I've seen a pure int x-bow.
So, my question is, will force make me a better tanker? A better survivor?
It does mean I have to give up a whole mastery, but maybe It's for the best?
(Sorry my post is so long and It's actually my 3rd, but I really need some help!)
Fire has shield series, which can be very helpful.
Fire also has Magical defense increase.
As a tanker, I don't REALLY need phy. damage increase.. It may help, but I don't 100% need it.
Just like bards don't really need a good harp, because they're here to buff, not to nuke.
Now, ice.
Ice can increase Physical defense passivly, has Snow Shield, and has a physical def. increase buff.
What should I do? Should I create my own unique build? Will it really work? I really need some help here SRF!
So is it possible to make a force blade char which will be a very good tanker?
Also, I apologize for my bad english.
EDIT: I used an 80 cap calculator to figure out how much SP it will cost, etc.
I'll try and expalin it here.
Bicheon - lvl 80:
Smashing Series - Don't get any of them. Blade force series is alot faster and does more damage.
Flying stone smash isn't good for you, because you got vital-spot if you want to bleed\impotent etc.
Chain Sword Series - Max Illusion Chain, Billow Chain and heaven chain. No use in lightning chain.
Blade force Series - Max ALL. Good finish hit, fastest skill blades got.
Hidden Blade - max Blood Blade and Demon Blade. KD is important.
killing heaven blade series - down attack used with KD.
Snake sword series - max typhoon sword dance and snake sword dance. Snake Sword can hit from a 15M range, almost like a bow, and it hits 3 targets.
Shield Protection - MAX!!!!!!!!!
Cold lvl 80.
Frost guard series - max all.
Frost Nova Series - the last book can freeze 3 enemies at the same time.
Snow shield - 1 of the most important skills you'll max. Best survival PVP skill.
Cold Armor - MAX!!!
Fire - 30.
You MAY think this is bad, but it's not. Most people lvl cold to 30 and fire to 90, but you'll figure out why later =)
Fire force series - only good until lvl 30, because of max damage when lvling. Its optional, and you can (and should) delvl it.
Fire Shield Series - You'll have force cure series, hence it's not so worth the SP. You may lvl it.
Flame Body Series - this build is mostly about tanking, but not only! this skill will help you and you should max it.
Fire Shield Series - Max it, as you need the def.
Flame Devil Force Series - Max.
Ah, now the best part

Force! MAX!!
Self Heal Series - MAX! You are pure str and you need the HP. You're all about surviving, and this is an instant cast skill,
Force Cure Series - Very helpful too. Since we don't use fire shield series, we need these babies. Max all.
Cure Therapy and Heal Series - Both Optional. They're here to help your party members. I suggest not getting them.
Rebirth Art Series - max all. This skill tree will help you and your party very much. The last book restores around 30% of the lost exp.
natural therapy series - MAX!!!! This skill will help you SO much in the future. Must max.
Vital spot - one of the most underestimated, yet most powerful skills in sro. max all.
Force Increasing - Passive is always good

Will also contribute to your snow shield.
I just want to say I'm just estimating this will be a good char, as it is my first guide.
Comments please.
Also, it says lvl 80 because the calculator wasnt up-to-date.. Consider it as 90.
