Blademaster...

Hi everyone, new and noob player here, does anyone know a good tanky blademaster build that can tackle all content from normal veteran up to ultimate, and solo all 150 gladiator crucible? I know that this is kind of a tall order for this combination of masteries since there are better combinations for this, but I can’t really undo or back out since the first class I chose was a blademaster and a lot of people say that soldier is almost always needed for gladiator crucible…please help and thanks in advance :slight_smile:

PS: I have not yet chosen a second permanent mastery :slight_smile:

assuming you’re talking about Nightblade (BM is NB+Soldier), tankiness means probably Soldier, yes. there’s many other combinations (cold Spellbreaker, acid/poison Witch Hunter…) which will work perfectly fine in Ultimate but 150 gladiator is another matter entirely.

You can easy solo gladiator with acid poison witch hunter.

To OP if you didn’t chose 2nd mastery and are relatively new to the game (w/o already farmed gear) I would recommend you to make Poison/Acid WH.

Well in all honesty, I kinda screwed up in distributing attributes points, all in cunning and a little bit of physique since I was following superfluff’s belgothian build, but later realized that, first, it was kind of squishy without the main gear it was built for and second, Seal of Blades is getting nerfed/fixed in the next patch so…there’s that I guess…

Hey.

Try to play cold first if you want Blademaster. Use respec potion to fu physique until you have the items

Hey superfluff thanks for the reply :slight_smile: In all honesty, I’m open to any kind of class combinations really, however I can’t really change it all that much since I picked nightblade first and all.

By the way I actually liked you’re build, kinda risky but it was cool, though it relies heavily on seal of blades for huge chunks of damage because of proc on devotion though…what with seal of bade being nerfed/fixed…do you have an alternative tank version of the build by any chance, or a witch hunter build since there is none in the compendium? I’m kinda overwhelmed by all of this to be honest so I was hoping some help…

Thanks again : )

I will have an alternative but i won’t bend over backwards to remake the entire build , especially if there are no positive changes to belgo set:p

Regardless, there are ways. I made one equip change, some skills and devo binding, Blades of Wrath to Spirit and Oleron to Belgo shears. You’ll see it all when patch is out

“Kill the non believer!!”

Hey guys, sorry for the very late reply, fell asleep haha

Oooh, I can’t wait for that :smiley: …but I guess I’ll just have to start a new character for this build since the next update will probably, maybe come out at December…I guess…couple that with me just starting and then farming for the gears and stuff sigh in any case I’ll get there…I hope haha :smiley:

LOL :smiley: By the way Chthon, I saw one of your builds in the “Reasonably powerful builds” posted by Zhuugus and I’m kinda interested to try this:

S&B pierce blademaster by Chthon

This is a great build capable of no sweat crucible farming. I just feel both forcewave tactician and aether death knight listed above are a bit stronger. Gameplay of all 3 is almost the same - typical s&b faceroll brawlers. #shieldmetaboiz

Will you make any changes with these?

Oh and a question, how early will I get the redistribution poitions? Also what is a DA?

Sorry for the many question and thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Yeah, how dare he not suggesting a pierce one, filthy heretic!
