Which and why?

blader can tank more than 1h sword.
not sure about attacks.

I haven't played a European 1h, but I think it has both a KD and KB, not sure about anything else. From what I know, I would choose Blader since I don't know much about European 1h's.

1h cant kd but it can kb...

its just a bit more boring and only thing it has better than chinese blader are the skins

u sure?
coz i think all str chars hav KD. it definetly hav KB.

All STR characters as in all European STR's, or in general? Because I don't think Heuskal has one.

well it depends.... do you want to tank longer or finish the battle faster? O.o

A nice combo of both would be nice
Can anyone post pros and cons of each?

1h sword with cleric = high defense for a period of time.
blader = pot delay 0.5 sec.cool core skill

1h is the ultimate tanker... Armor + shield + pure str + phy def passive = TANK Sure it has 15s pot delay, but when you're being hit like ~50ish dmg you don't care about pots

Blader skills execution is way cooler than 1h <<< (kinda boring moves). Asthetics still a factor i guess.

1h/cleric = 45 sec bless spell, another 45 sec iron/mana skin + recovery div/Healing Cycle (auto pot) + disabling skills ie bind, KD, 100% (80% actually, but seems to KB almost every time) KB, stun (sprint assault)

1h/cleric dmg is low,and more of a real tank, if u wanna kill go 1h/warlock

blader, hmm, not much to say abt it, cool skill, no pot delay etc.

1h/warlock is good it can tank good, with leech skills it can heal, debuffs will increase damage by a ton, and it can stun and sleep.

Blader can tank really good and the damage is still decent, it can also kd and stab, and the skills look really cool.

1h warrior doesnt get "cool looking" skills until 40+ then you wont get any new "cool skills" until 60 and 80 >.< other than that its a monster tank plus has amazing agro control.

blader will l8er on be the chinese warlock. but right now its the chinese tank. problem is in parties its better to have a 1h hand warrior.

anyhoo 1h warrior hits harder than blader, but blader has no pot delay.

so

dmg = 1h
speed = both
tank = 1h
coolness = blader
prestige = blader
respect = blader.

in all honesty ATM the only cool thing about bladers is that their HAWT! later on in like the 90 or 100 cap with skills the blader will be able to do damge = or > the glaiver . happy grinding ^^. if you want real answers then.

PM VforVendetta
and Manowar.

V is a 1h warrior
Mano is a blader get their opinions

I think blader is faster that 1h due to aoe and range skills

Well, I still can't decide which I wanna start.
Chinese blader is pretty neat, got some nice skills and looks.
On the other side, 1h warrior can take cleric as a sub, which is probably one of my favorites thanks to its skills, but I'm not really whether I'll have the patience to switch weps every time for w/e buffs there are

... commen sense isnt so common after all

....I would go 1h over blader simply because switching to the different weapons for more dmg or balance requires no new mastery and only like 50k sp. Once you go blader you won't be able to do much dmg, but having KD with a shield is also good....and later on bladers get much better because of the chain effects.

Still..having a warrior is like having a tanker, dmg dealer and buffer at the same time, and they are overall better team players than bladers. KD sucks in parties.

Lol, bladers will become the chinese warlock, i like that..
They got all these status effects all of a sudden..
bleed, impotent, division
and then their next chains...dull stun and fear!
their next stab will have crit 5 too lol..

Warriors are overrated. Dress a blader in armor and grab 80cold rather than lightning. You'll be better than a 1h sword warrior if its a 1 on 1 comparison. Add in the complementary cleric and the euro side wins every competition.
