i have a char on athens lvl 75 full str blader lvl 70 ice fire and light and 75 on blade mastery..

now can someone tell me what will be my position on the europe update will i still be good or maybe better?

Better, you'll do more damage with the updated skills.

Str bladers never kicked ass.

- infinity.

It will still be really good.

Euro characters are their weakness though, because they hit soooo high, and will have high hp too, and blade hits low... I had something in my mind, but I lost it... But blade hits low, that the pot delay time of euro doesn't really make that much of a difference... Y'know?

Wonder how a str axe will do to a str blader...axes are str based right?

Well I can beat Bladers my level with Sword/Shield European, so I dont know.

so what buiild do you guys think will be the strongest?

I dont think there is really a "blader" in euro. I also dont think euro is about pvping. Euro is like WoW. You go with your friends, guildmate, etc and kill monsters to level. Euro is about team play. You need all the components to kill mobs(maybe not but still euro is about team play)

but wait the europe version will just be an update in this version.. i mean i can still use my old blader to fight some european characters right? they will only add more chars and areas.. right?

i agree, 100% lol. they cant die, but never kill you either, unless u run outa pots..

im guess yea

I'm gonna use my character to power level my euro character, or powerlevel other people for money, these parties are called "Taxi Party" in KSRO, where a high level will have low levels tracing him, pay money and then you train them on elite monsters.

awesome.

Yes, this is just like the taklamakan update, but this time we get new characters too.

Also, best build imo will be pure str bow.

They will have range (which is a HUGE thing for euro, because I don't think they can become as fast as chinese, and their pot time). Stun and kb will help sooo much. But the thing is, people are always like "Bow sucks because it doesn't have stun or kb or anything" but they always had crit and range... Now look at their bonuses:

• Stun
• Knock Back
• Critical
• Range
• Attack rating
• Hit points

That's just my theory though, other builds I think will own: Pure int s/s. Pure str DH sword. Pure int magician.

damn now we have to worry about the nukers and the bowers

new skills =BLADER ROX AGAIN !!!! bwhahah with cap 70 blade rulezz....if they update skills with cap 90 blader will rule again xD

Yup.

Also, the video that supports my theories the most:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Alw2qYyVpuQ

Glaives SUCK in that movie, that int s/s didn't even have mana shield on and killed a glaive.
Bow owns glaive as well.
DH sword DESTROYS blade
Double sword does a nice combo and kicks ass.

I'm sure you've all seen the video, but I think this is the most accurate film out, because it shows alot of 1v1 and it is the most recent one.

If you want a impenetrable fortress on legs screw Blader, what you want is a Euro Sword/Shield, with defense boosts like nobodies business, plus they can buff parties with insane defensive buffs that will make them steel walls.

It's true, this is a powerful build against chinese.

Other euro tend to destroy them though (I've seen a few of these fights, every time s/s loses).

the glavie vs nuker fight was not a fair fight. the damage done by the glavie on garmet showed he was atleast 3 levels lower.

the blade vs dh sword fight was even worse. the blade did 1k damage and 3k crit, the dh sword did a single 17k crit and killed the blader. the blader had to be around 81-84 max.

the bow did own tho

everyone is looking for the best. too bad kids. joymax did there job in making all classes equal or close to it. with the same level and good gear, each class will stand an equal chance. not saying builds dont have weaknesses and strengths. some builds will never be able to kill other builds.

The end of thepower*****.com

i dont want people switching bow =(
i wont like seeing archers everywhere just like i see glaivers everywhere right now.

damn.... how will i feed my 16 kids now

i thought 2 was the max they could have

Wouldn't people level faster in an 8 man share party using all euro characters though since the gold ticket will work now in a share PT?

90% KD.... Blader Own.

Pshhh we always kick ass

damn right lol tank tank tank ftw

u forget something

bladers wont be gettign quad stab or 4th book kd till lvl 85+ but glaivers get 4th book soul spear so glaivers will pwn again

+ a billion

Considering the difficulty of the task, this game is amazingly well balanced. At the extreme low damage, low defense side is blader, at the extreme high damage low defense side is Nuker. Glaive sacrifices defense for dmg. Nobody can kill a blader but they're safe from getting killed. Nukers can be killed easy, but you need to live long enough to hit them. Where the builds can really show their worth is jobbing. Blader hunters can make the difference in a successful trade run. Likewise in a successful ambush. If you are looking for some kind of uber-all-pwnage-master-of-all build, you won't find it in SRO. And if it looked like people started using skills in such a way that JoyMax didn't foresee and gave them an unfair advantage, JM would just nerf it next update or balance it with out with the other skills.
