My blademaster is level 40 or so with no deaths so far, which for me is very unusual, as I generally suck at not dying!
I’ve gone for cadence, mace and shield with physical/IT damage only but can’t see a build guide for this combo, does that mean it’s not a sensible route? So far I’m majoring on Solider skills and only have a few Nightblade de-buffs but anticipate expanding those as I level up further.
This is a Shield/mace phys commando build I posted. Cadence commando/ Bldemaster and Witch blade beahave pretty much the same so you can follow stuff.
Like for early leveling:
Blitz is Fantastic for AOE and face smashing both early and late game. My advice early game put around 5 levels max in Cadence, 1 fighting form, slowly max Deadly momentum (very important), max blitz slowly Blitz (+1 Blindside for AOE), and then start maxing Bulwark. For leveling put Falcon Swoop on Blitz (51% chance and hit’s 2x) early and then Assassin’s mark on Cadence. You will destroy content. Remember to put some Ectoplasm in Jewlery because Blitz costs a lot early game. Don forget some life steal. Vampiric or of voracity affixes, hollowed fang, or ghould devotion 4% life steal as you level. Later on, haunted steel will do.
