Blademaster

Unlike other classes, blademaster's skill and stat build is the most alterable in the perfect world. They are mainly based on the weapon choice. And the play style is also determined by the choice.
Weapon Choice
Weapons are the essential part of blademasters. There are 4 kinds of weapon that blademaster can use.
Blow is the table of equipment stat requisite, the numbers are points that every level you need to add(approximate).

From the table we can see every kind of weapon need 3.5points puting to the right stat. you get 1.5free points every level.
If you want to use 2 differents kinds of equipment. you must meet both of their requirement.
eg. i want to use both Axes & Hammer and Blades & Swords then i must +3str +1.5dex every level. then i have 0.5free point every level.
i want to use both Fist & Claw and Heavy armors then i must +2.5str +2dex every level. then i have 0.5free point every level.
Where to put the free points?
Don't even put one extra point to strength.Strength increases physical attack and defense. blademaster isn't tank, defense is definite enough. the attack bonus is miserable.
You can put them to Dexterity or Vitality.
Dexterity increases accuracy, dodge and critical. these are very important to blademaster especially when vs other high dodge class like archer.
Vitality is also a good choice. HP is more important then dexterity when vs magic class like wizard and FB running.
