Swordsman Int Type Guide!

Int Swordsman - Known as the "Tranquer" from it's skill "Tranquility". The Int Swordsman focuses more on defense but they can also be a good lurer, killer and a support. They can also cast heavy damage on enemies due to mostly all of their skills are area based so they are great at mob killing and they are also in demand in a party because of their tranquility they boost their parties defenses... as long as the tranquer and the shaman is alive everyone in the party survives.

Intelligence - Vitality Build
The most common build of Int type Swordsman. Good Defense, High HP and High damaging Skills sounds good right?. This build is a super late bloomer you will feel the full potential of an Int type around 160+ i know its quite a long way but believe me it is worth it.

Pros:
- Mob Killer
- Can absorb Great amounts of Punishment
- Great Lurer
- High HP
- Good Support
- Good Defense
- Fast Leveling because of demand for Tranquility

Cons:
- Slow Skill Cooldowns
- Slow casting of Skills
- Hard (but not impossible) to win Duels
- Skills are easily canceled
- More likely to use more MP and SP pots

Stats:
Simply add Int only up to (+350) then go for Vit

Skills:
Master your skills until you've reach level 97 then reset your skills by using an Oblivion Potion A (EP Item)
after that follow this skill build...

Blade Mastery - Master (can be found at the ETC skills tab)
Light Speed - Master (can be found at the ETC skills tab)
Sword Stab - Level 2 (can be found at the DEX skills tab)
Multi Slash - Level 1 (can be found at the DEX skills tab)
Divine Shield - Master
Ronin Slash - Never mind this skill
Shogun Swing - Level 4
Cyclone Slash - Level 1
Tranquility - Master
Arcane Punch - Level 2
Kamikaze - Level 2
Metal Body - Master
Lightning Strike - Master
Crescent Slash - Master

I've added Multi Slash in the Skills because it is to balance the chances of you to win
a duel... Int skills have stun effects but they are slow to cast... but with Multi Slash you can quickly cancel their skills and making the element of your weapon bite in immediately making you have the upper hand in the battle, just cheat your dex with enhanced set equips to get the dex requirement of Multi Slash.. and also ive reduced the level of Cyclone Slash to Level 1 only because in high levels it is not anymore effective but still useful in luring mobs and long distance battles anyway Crescent Slash is much stronger.

Intelligence - Power Build
This build is very rare, it focuses to master Blood Thirst of the Pow Skills giving him to maximize the Power of his skills but then yet some skills are sacrificed to get Blood Thirst. You also need to switch your Sword with a Blade just to cast Blood Thirst which is such a hassle.

Pros:
- Mob Killer
- Great Damage
- Great Lurer
- Good Support
- Good Defense
- Fast Leveling because of demand for Tranquility

Cons:
- Low HP
- Slow Skill Cooldowns
- Slow casting of Skills
- Skills are easily canceled
- More likely to use more HP/MP/SP pots
- No Light Speed
- No Cyclone Slash
- Need alot of Skill Points
- You need to switch your Sword with a Blade to cast Blood Thirst

Stats:
It Requires 157 Pow to master Blood Thirst
try adding Int up to (+250) then cheat your Pow with Alloy Rings then add Pow to 157.
After that you can proceed with adding Int again to catch up with the mastered Int requirement of Crescent Slash which only requires 361 Int.

Skills:
Going for Int-Pow is only advisable at around level 134 to get the required skill points needed so just reset your stats and follow this build:

Blade Mastery - Master (can be found at the ETC skills tab)
Divine Shield - Master
Ronin Slash - Never mind this Skill
Shogun Swing - Level 2
Cyclone Slash - Never mind this Skill
Tranquility - Master
Arcane Punch - Level 2
Kamikaze - Level 2
Metal Body - Master
Lightning Strike - Master
Crescent Slash - Master

Intelligence - Dexterity Build
Some other people chose this build just to get Sword Mastery of Dex and Multi Slash yet the build ill show you here is my build, you can either follow it or not... it's your choice. I've discovered from this build is that it has alot of Combo Skills from Int and Dex. You can absorb Great amounts of Punishment except for Tornado Slash, the downfall of this build is it requires alot of skill points and has very low HP.

Pros:
- Mob Killer
- Can absorb Great amounts of Punishment
- Cool Combos!
- Good Damage
- Great Lurer

Cons:

Stats:

Focus first on locking your Int to 319 (not +319) then go for Dex, cheat your Dex by wearing an Enhanced Set and Jade Rings then add additional Dex until it reaches 282. After that you can proceed in adding stats in Dex or Int it depends upon you.
