Stat points

Every class has a certain build they should go with. With FB's I've heard the question of whether to put most of your stat points into STR or DEX. As a FB...you can do either or but I highly recommend AGAINST doing STR build unless you want the defense rate of a Warrior...without the defense. XD As a Force Blader you should put only the minimum amount of STR and INT to compare to the gear you need to use. Everything else should go into DEX. You will lose a couple attack doing DEX but I would rather be able to break 3k Defense Rate and 4k Attack Rate. You can get that buy putting the majority of your Stat. points into DEX.

Force Blader Combos

Force Bladers do have variations in the combos that they can use. However, there ARE some skills that under no circumstance should be used in any PvP whatsoever due to their lack of DPS or long casting times. Force Impact and Infernal Stigma are among those.

PvE Combo:
I'm a lazy ass so I usually don't combo in PvE so you can take this combo with a small grain of salt and feel free to change it to your liking if you usually do combo in PvE.

Infernal Stigma Lv 9--->Infernal Impact Lv 9--->Assassinate Lv 9--->Seal of Damnation Lv 18

PvP Combo:
I actually use 2 combos...a Nation War combo and a regular PvP combo. The nation war combo was when I had less Crit Damage so small skills played a big role. Now that I cracked the 200% CDI mark I try to get off a couple large skills really fast. Either one of these are good to use.

Nation war combo:
Force Kick Lv 9--->Force Assault Lv 18--->Impact Stab Lv 20--->Assassinate Lv 9--->Infernal Impact Lv 9--->Seal of Damnation Lv 18

After you cast seal, go back to Force Assault and repeat through Infernal Impact. Then go back again to Force Assault and repeat through Assassinate. By that time you should be at the 11+ combo and hard luck will be wearing off so it's time for you to break your combo and cast it again(or do it in combo if you want depends on your preference.)

Regular PvP Combo:
Force Kick Lv 9--->Assassinate Lv 9--->Force Assault Lv 18--->Seal of Damnation Lv 18--->Infernal Impact Lv 9--->Impact Stab Lv 20

Force slash is another skill you can put in either on of these somewhere as it does have HP down. Abyssal Crystal is another skill useful to avoid chasing in PvP. Just mess around with some combos and see which skills fit best for you.

Weapon builds

A long time ago, I used to think that double Forcium amp weapons for FB was the way to go. Yeah...no don't think so that was a total nub time frame. The biggest question I get asked in game is "what is the best weapon set up for Force Bladers?" This isn't a easy answer question since FBs have such a variety.

Osmium Build (Osmium PC Dmg Sword/Lapis PC Dmg Orb): Some things don't change over time and neither does my opinion on this build since you can get such better options these days. The plus side...you have nice Crit Damage...but your attack suffers greatly. Good luck trying to break 1k attack with this build.

Amp build (2x Forcium S.Amp weapons): I went this build at one point and it is a cheap gear up if you are not yet able to afford end-game weapons. I pretty much call this build the "temporary" build since you don't want to use this long term. It will basically allow you to run things but you will have problems excelling if you maintain this build for long.

Mix build (Forcium S.Amp Sword/Lapis or Topaz PC Dmg Deathblow): This is an option a lot of Force Bladers go with...I myself used this build for close to a year before upgrading to what I currently have(we'll save that for another post though). It basically will give you a nice balance between both attack and Crit Dmg. You can usually do most end game things with this build as long as it's not solo play. With solo you may run into problems.

Redosmium Build (Redosmium Sword PC Dmg/Topaz PC Dmg): This destroys all the other builds mentioned before it. While I was against Osm build, Redosmium is squarely in the middle of Osmium and Forcium. You will be able to have a nice balance of Attack and Crit Damage while being able to extend on your endgame activities(although soloing things like IC2 and Pluma might still be slightly out of reach).

Extreme build (Forcium PC Dmg Sword/Lapis PC Dmg): This is what I use...except for the fact my blade is 34 Damage and not 36. Pretty simple...you can basically do anything with this(obviously...Forcium Deathblow come on lol). There is very little room for improvement here, apart from upgrading to Topaz or Forcium Damage Crystal/Orb.

Other: You also have the option of using 2 slot Forcium weapons. I actually was lucky enough to test out a 2 slot +11 orb awhile back. Your DPS will be roughly equal to that of a Lapis PC Dmg DB. I noticed my non crits were higher while my crits were lower compared to a Lapis. With Illusion Castle B2F dropping 2 slot on a regular basis this may also be something you want to look into.

Getting back into the hang of this...

So after over a year of completely forgetting about this thing...I think it's time to update. The basic reason is I've had people in game PM me asking about stuff I thought a year ago...stuff that after I actually learned a hell of a lot more about the game are completely false. But we all make mistakes right? Yes we do. :) So I plan on making some posts to help other FB's and do a few changes on this page in the process. Basically.....everything underneath this post ignore it. xD
