Bladers are great tankers due to their huge amount of def and hp. Bladers may lack of dmg in beginning but later on they are able to use strong blades which allows them to do great damages. This mean at high lvl (60+) bladers need to rely on their equipments alot. Bladers are great at either solo or in parties. At lvl 60+ other characters start to need parties to lvl effectively, but bladers can solo effectively too.

At beginning bladers do lack of money, unless you sell all the drops/crystals to higher lvl players or npc them. Otherwise it is hard to keep on with pots and decent equipments. Some of the quests will be hard for bladers, thats why they usually need a healer to aid them on quests.
The most disadvantages for bladers are lack of attack speed or attack dmg/rating.

About Bladers build, there are lots of but I'll show just some of them below

1:
All skills are passives, you cant raise the active skills.
From lvl 1-35 you will have 34 skill points to add.
Max the first skill [max lvl 20] - the first skill raises your min damage, as bladers lack of dmg, they need this skill to raise their dmg.
Add 14 points into third skill [lvl 14] - third skill raises your attack speed, as bladers are fastest attackers after swordmen, this skill will raise their attack speed to almous same as swordmen.

From lvl 35-60 you will have 25 skill points to add.
Max the seventh skill [max lvl 20] - the seventh skill your chance to do criticals.
Add 5 points to sixth skill [lvl 5] - sixth skill reflects the dmg you get from enemies back to enemies.
You can add more to sixth skill after lvl 60 if you want.

2:
lv 1-10 <----- add 10 point for chain attack skill
lv11-31 <----- add 20 point for fist skill (inc min dam)
lv 32-35<----- add 4 point for chain attack skill
after lv 35 when lv up u hv 2 poit
lv36-46 <----- add max skill for "beat 20% shield" (seventh skill)<--- best for pk and train lv
lv 47-57 <----- add max skill for 5th skill ( 20% dam +def in 72 second )
lv 58-60 <----- add 4 point for reflect dame
Lv 61-71 <----add max 8th skill (20% crit for skill) <--- best for pk and train
lv71-80 <---- add for reflect dame skill
after lv 80 ^^ i will update last beacuse my char only lv 74 in VN client

3:
1st skill(max)->5th skill(max)->6th skill(max)->7th skill(max)->at will(4)->3th class skill(max)->further

step1 max 1st skill--inc min atk
blademan is weak in atk, so its necessary to inc atk, this skill inc min atk by percent, so when u get good weapon to obtain high atk, it inc more atk.

step2 max 5th skill--angry skill
blademan has high defence, so they can atk some mabs at one time, as they r hit by some mobs, they get into anray state quickly, when blademan get into angry state, atk and def inc 20%, when u per lv up it, the duration inc 3s, that is when u max the skill, the duration is 10s(origin)+60s=70s

step3 max 6th skill--rebound the dam in a certain rate
this skill is useful, when u max it, the rate reboud the dam is 30%. that is when the mob hit u, u have 30% rate return the dam to mob.

step4 max 7th skill--reduce def 20% in a certain rate.well, u hit mob or PK, u often give them more dam when u max the skill.

step5 when u got Lv60, 4 skill points leave, advise u add them on 2nd skill(inc atk accuracy) or u can put them at will.

step6 then, max the new skill u get when 3th class, it inc the rate of critical atk. of coure its useful when train or pk.

step7 stop here....the 4th class and further, i think u should know how to do as a experienced player.
