Lord Adorias Blademaster Guide

** IMPORTANT: AS I AM CURRENTLY PLAYING THIS CHAR, THIS GUIDE IS ONLY 80% COMPLETE AND WILL BE UPDATED ALOT!! **

So we want to build a Melee-Char? Let´s rawk hard!

I am doing more than 2K damage with Noob Gear at lvl 30

What would be better for a melee char, than mixing the two melee classes? Right. Nothing.
So i suggest starting with the Nightblade and later adding the Soldier. Why? Because I like it that way plus it speeds up leveling that way, because the Nightblade is the ideal starting Character. It has alot of Speed, Damage and very nice active and passive skills.

Please refer to the image to get a plan of what we will build in the upcoming hours:

As you can see we will most likely go dual wielding - because this is where the most benefits come from. The image shows my character at level 18.

Skilltree:
I really dont need to explain, that we got to put some points into the class mastery first, so we can even access our first useful skills, right? So, first Skill to put a point in is of course Dual Blade, since it simply allows us to dualwield Weapons and grants a bonus therefore. Later we get more and more useful dual-wielding techniques. Be prepared for ultimate madness! We aim on this Tree only for maxing out Whirling Death and put some points into its Synergy. (Nidallahs Hidden Hand) So keep on pushing the mastery here and spend points on these skills only!

Stats:
As for the Statpoints, put 2-4 points into Physique and get the rest via items. All other points should go into Cunning, of course. Refer to the following image to get the idea:

Well normally I go like 0-10 and then 10-20 and then 20-30 and so on. But since this beast really levels up as fast as a rocket IF you know WHERE to grind, I decided to skip some chapters by expanding this one.

Skillpoints:

Keep on getting Whirling Wind maxed and put 1 Point for the moment into its Synergy.

Now we move on to fill the Soldier Tree

First Skill we push now is Markovanians Advantage on the Soldier Tree. After that we need to pump ALOT of our easily gained points into the mastery to reach the nicer skills like Field Command and its Synergy. Put 1 Point into Field Command and max its Synergy (Squad Tactics) asap because it gives us Total Damage AND Attack Speed!

Refer to the following image to get the idea on the Soldier-Tree:

and of the Nightblade Skilltree for higher levels, too!

Later on, like lvl 30- 40 i would recommend maxing Dual Blades and then using Anatomy of Murder on Nightblades Tree! Feel free to max it, I love it!

Statpoints:

Still keep on rushing Cunning and get the rest you need via items and Components, its very easy to do!
