xp setup: +5str +4dex // u keep this till u reach the lvl u desire
pvp setup:
if u plan to dance,hex,arrest and last a bit more go +4con-4str
if u plan to dance,hex,arrest,try to kill robes and shoot efficiently with a drac bow go +4str-4con
if u wanna do both no dyes is a good thing also. i recommend it
you can do +4wit-4int also, which lowers your matk but ups your casting speed. iirc, altho i havent tested it myself, it will not affect the land rate of debuffs significantly so it might be good to get it
I find no tats works best for me. But the last poster is correct a low con high STR build is great for pve but sorta sux for pvp. For pvp I find the most effective is nerf ur str and boost ur con. Reason being is that you are normally supposed to run into the fight first. The most effective thing u can do as a BD is debuff imo, and you gotta survive to do it.
Again I prefer no tats. It's cheap and its balenced for pvp and pve.
pvp-pve +3 dex - con /+2 dex-str /+4 wit-int ,It is all about crit and evasion and speed . workes on pvp and pve and maj heavy and new a duals with speed is a great set up tell you get s grade.
+4str greatly surpases the dps of +4dex. evasion means [censored] nowadays even for the classes that have passives for it. crit bonus is minimal, and so is atk speed, not worth it. overally +dex is worthless on a bd and on most classes, for pvp that is. when u pve, its a nice add to your dps.
to sum up, +3dex-3con,+2dex-2str is imo one of the worst dyes someone could get both pve-wise and pvp-wise
PvE only? go glass cannon, you´ll die a bit more until u get used to the low con but its not a big deal at low B grade and will make the grind a little bit more bearable...
If you´re not sure you can always go slow and start with +3 str, then ad +2 str and then decide if you wanna +dex (not nearly as impacting as +str on a BD)
Stay away from messing with your int until you can enchant your skills, Someone here said it did not impact much but I found it not to be so

you are lucky cos bd is one of the fastest xping melee chars in the game. i agree that for pve u should go -con all the way. for a start go +4str or even +5 if u can afford 2 set of dyes. if u see u can handle that add a +4dex dye that will boost your damage per second even more. i suggest finding a good clan with a good clanhall. if u have vr you can xp fearlessly, even more if u have good gear.

well... i never had a bd as a main so i cant tell from personal experience. i only said what i read many times in some other forums :p
if -int affects land rate so much as you say, then going +4int means u will land debuffs almost every time or so? if thats the case it might be worth it, even if it means gimping your cast speed some
pvp-pve +3 dex - con /+2 dex-str /+4 wit-int ,It is all about crit and evasion and speed . workes on pvp and pve and maj heavy and new a duals with speed is a great set up tell you get s grade.
Did you just use the word evasion when talking about a BD?
its tallum heavy that we're talking about. thats +2str-2con from the armor, plus +5str-5con you're gonna get. if u see that you can handle that easily, go for an aditional +4dex-4con. this way u will maximize your dps as far as dyes go

With some nicely OE'd Tsu*SLS.
Just sit back and use 3 buttons. Attack, next target, dance macro...don't use dance macro's for pvp tho lol. It's fine for chilling in a cata or something lol
I’m still trying to find the balance, and remember BD’s are support fighters. Don’t be the first one into melee combat our dances can turn a battle, but you have to live long enough to do them.
crit > atk speed. so isnt tsu*sls +4 a better choice
you know whats better?
storm*NM duels.. at +10 (+8 is good to) = same P atk as +6 tsu*sls, and +5 sls*sls. However they increase crt rate by 79.
Atk speed is not a good set up for PvE. you waste more SS that way, and more atk speed doesn't mean more chances to crt.
More crt rate = more chances to crt.
Atk speed is for PvP. it's where you need to max out atk speed so you can interrupt mages casting spells. also fairly deadly on light armor classes (archers really).
If u wanna pve, this +str/-con will work wonders, u can use allmost any armor u want, but Majestic or Tallum is what most BD's use.
For pvp u will need hp, but getting more con will not turn u into anything else than a meatshield and debuffer. Some says +2dex +2str has a good effect, but I personally +str and oe an armor and stick to something that goes inbetween pve and pvp.
