SwS or BD

Im about to make a reroll, when im bored of xp with my main, so i was wondering, what is the most wanted class in party, between sword singer and blade dancer ?

Also, what is the best in solo ? sws ? bd ? According that i have a 52 buffbot (prophet) on a 2nd account.


Thanks for any info :)

Well BD has low con that will play a factor in lvling fast.

SwS refer to the general discostion forum.

SwS is rarer class to find then the BD.

But SwS is just as good, just remember they are support classes.

Pesonally i believe BD has the more important and desired dances, and they have a nice damage output makeing them pretty sweet DD's for pve, better then a SwS "imo"

I'm a BD. My clannie is an SWS. BDs have the advantage IMO because they have a variety of offensive skills they can use when soloing or in small party. SWS is defensive buffer, so you'll heavily rely on what weapons you can get - a bow, duals, high patk sword, etc.

I believe that a party would greater benefit from the BD. BDs have dances that can accommodate both melee and mage type characters. But then again BD is all about damage and speed buffs, SWS are about the defensive buffs(besides the hunter song).

BD all the way. Their damage output is good enough to keep yourself healed with vampiric rage. Not to mention when u get up there at lvl 74 you get the vamp dance which is equal to vampiric rage lvl 4. You just have to tag along with an SE and you'll be fine.

Thanks everyone =)

the main question is, do you want defense or offense buffs? As far as offense SwS has Hunter and thats it until lvl 77 really. But at 77 you get SICK buffs. But really the SwS is a defensive buffer, especially vs. nukers. Warding is simply not enough, they also get Flame Guard, Invocation and Storm Guard, Storm Guard and Invocation being fairly important considering the ridiculous amounts of SH and soon to be Necros. Also despite what many ppl say SwS tank very well. Just use a bow to get a shot off or two to catch aggro then switch to one handed and shield, you'd be amazed at how well it works since getting a critical attack with a bow is VERY common. If you ask me neither is that much better than the other, Song of Hunter and Dance of Fire complement eachother EXTREMELY well.
