Swordsman Pow Type Guide!

Pow Swordsman - Considered to be the "Ultimate Killer" known for its 1 (or sometimes 2) Hit Kills.
Their role in the game is to bring down the opponent as swiftly as possible. Since they focus more on offensive attacks they should not have a hard time killing the enemy.

Power - Vitality Build
This is the most common build of pow type swordsman, because of their low defense vit is added for
increasing his HP which compensates for his low defense making him to withstand more punishment.

Pros:
- Certified Killer!
- High HP means you last longer in CW/PK and Duels
- Good Lurer
- Less usage of HP pots

Cons:
- Weaker damage compared with pure Pow builds
- More likely to use more HP and MP pots
- Low Accuracy tends to Miss alot!
- Defense depends on the armor your wearing
- Slow Cooldown of Skills

Stats:
Just add Pow up to (+350) then proceed in adding Vit

Skills:
Same as a Pure Power Type Swordsman follow this build:

Id suggest that you master every skill you have except for Critical Slash and Jumping Slash
to give room for Fury (optional) after you do that w8 until you've reach level 117 and Reset your Skills with the use of an Oblivion Potion A (EP Item) and Follow this Skill Build

Divine Shield - Master (from the Tab of Int Skills)
Light Speed - Master (from the Tab of ETC Skills)
Blade Mastery - Master (from the Tab of ETC Skills)

X Strike - (Depends) if you are Going for Critical Strike then put 5 if you go for Fury then just add it to 3
but if you are going to ask me id rather choose Critical Strike coz it hits hard and Sometimes
kills an enemy in 1 Hit with Power Up.. Fury on the other hand cast multiple strikes but some
of them tend to miss the target so you won't get the full damage.. But You can get them both
if you like ... just be careful with your skill points.... it is recommended that you set Fury only at
level 1 because it is only fixed at 1 target quantity which is quite useless....

Dual Slash - Never mind this Skill
Kick Slash - Master
Blood Thirst - Master
Jumping Slash - Never mind this Skill
Critical Slash - (Optional) Refer to the X Strike Skill (Master this if you want it)
Hurricane Slash - Level 2
Fury - (Optional) Refer to the X Strike Skill (Put This Only at Level 1 if you want it)
Vacuum Slash - Master
Tornado Slash - Master

Power - Dexterity Build
A very rare build of a swordsman, this build focuses on adding Dex to compensate for the lack of Defense, you are able to withstand luring mobs but defense does not help that much in CW and PK.

Pros:
- Certified Killer!
- Good Lurer
- Less usage of HP pots
- Good enough Defence

Cons:
- Low HP
- Weaker damage compared with pure Pow builds
- More likely to use more HP and MP pots
- Low Accuracy tends to Miss alot!
- Slow Cooldown of Skills


Stats:
Add Pow first up to (+350) then go for Dex
my advice is to stick with equips that adds Dex specially Enhanced sets and Jade Rings

Skills:
Don't try to get Sword Mastery of Dex because it only raises Damage of Swords not Blades.

Power - Intelligence Build
This build focuses to get Tranquility to compensate his low Defense making him more balanced in Attack and Defense. Going for this build requires alot of extra skill points especially the ones going for Metal Body.

Pros:
- Certified Killer!
- High Defense
- In Demand in Parties due to Tranquility

Cons:
- Low HP
- Too weak for a Pow type build due to low Pow
- Not able to master most of Pow Skills
- Not able to equip the powerful weapons due to lack of Pow
- Skills Points are needed!! specially if you are going for Metal Body
- Slow Cooldown of Skills
- The best Blade that you can equip is the +7 Slayer Blade [7D]
- No Light Speed for Metal Body Builds

Stats:
There are 2 kinds of Pow-Int types

1. Metal Body Build - Focus first in making your Pow locked on 300 (not +300) to reach Tornado Slash at Level 1 then proceed in adding Int. Mastering Metal Body requires 308 int so try to cheat your Int by wearing Silver Rings and add additional Int. After mastering Metal Body proceed in adding Pow again try to catch up with the Pow requirement of a Mastered Tornado Slash which requires 342 Pow.

2. Tranquility Build - Add Pow up to (+250) then proceed in adding Int. Mastering Tranquility requires 203 Int so just cheat your Int with Silver Rings and add additional Int to master Tranquility. After that start adding Pow again.

Skills:
I Suggest that you must be at least level 110 (130 for Metal Body Builds) before going to Pow-Int so just reset your stats and follow this build:

Divine Shield - Master (from the Tab of Int Skills)
Tranquility - Master (from the Tab of Int Skills)

Metal Body - Master (from the Tab of Int Skills)
*only add this if you going for a Metal Body build

Light Speed - Master (from the Tab of ETC Skills)
*for Metal Body builds don't put this if you want to master Vacuum Slash and Tornado Slash

Blade Mastery - Master (from the Tab of ETC Skills)
X Strike - Level 3
Dual Slash - Never mind this Skill
Kick Slash - Master
Blood Thirst - Master
Jumping Slash - Never mind this Skill
Critical Slash - Never mind this Skill
Hurricane Slash - Level 2

Vacuum Slash - Can be Mastered later ... just raise it to whatever level it gets to
