These are the skills of the Blademaster.


Contents

General Note

Keep in mind that many non-percentile values actually scale to the player's level. For example, at Clvl 1, the skill level one Surge of Restoration may give 19 hp/min, but when player is level ten, the same level one Surge of Restoration may give a lot more HP instead. The same scaling effect goes for the rest of the nine skill levels. If level two gives 19 hp/min at Clvl 1, it will give even more when the player is clvl 10 etc.

Surges

Surge skills provide benefits described below to the player, when any monster is killed using the surge skill. Surges stack up to 3, providing more powerful version of the benefit with each additional surge. The surge expires after the indicated time, ceasing to provide benefits. Surge duration will be reset when a monster is killed with the surge skill before it expires. Using surge skills to attack monsters do not cost any Power if the blow does not kill the monster.

Specialized training allows the Blademaster to equip melee weapons in both hands, and also reduces Willpower Feed. Increased ranks further reduce Willpower Feed but provide no extra bonus to dual wielding.

Higher levels in this skill are extremely useful late-game if you wish to dual-wield two high-end swords, as it drastically reduces the number of attribute points you need to put into willpower to equip such items. At lower levels, one point in the ability is all that's normally necessary.

When two swords are equipped, keep in mind that right hand sword will make the first hit, followed by the left hand sword if the target is not dead.

Note: When two swords are equipped, all basic attack skills (Use Right Weapon, Use Left Weapon and Use Both Weapons) will result in using both of the swords.
