Hey guys, i just started playing cabal about a month ago. got a:

lvl 63 blader
lvl 63 Force Shielder.

Truth to tell you, im not sure which one is better for PVE or PVP can you guys tell me which to use? i heard Force Shielder is good for PVP cause of good defense. But blader is for PVE? can you guys tell me?

Thanks in Advance,
Danny

heres a guide i made
I have found that the FS is probably the most misunderstood class out of the 6 classes. Mostly because people have no idea how to play them correctly. Here it is
KEYWORDS: CRITICAL DAMAGE

FS's are great a doing pretty much anything. But there are 2 major downfalls
Pro's: Massive crit damage and really great defensive rate with Great base defense.
Con's: Slow skills, bad attack rate at beginning (misses alot), and if you dont crit you will pretty much lose.

THIS IS NOT FOR MAGIC FS

Skills?
- There are many different skill sets to use. 2 In general tho

PVE: Shield Splinter lvl 9 (will probably crit every time)- Shield Break lvl 9- and Shield Explosion lvl 18.
This is a great powerhouse combo for doing any dungeon or fighting any boss.

PVP: Among us FS's this is hard to decide. Here is what i found to work best
Shield Splinter- Shield Charge- Impact stab- Force kick- Shield Splinter- Shield Charge-Impact Stab- and finish with Sheild break
All lvl 9 is what i think i have XD

It is very important to get Dual trans early because you need each set of skills has important skills in them.
Sword-Get all the buffs except mortal bane
Magic- Get buffs IMPORTANT FOR DUNGEONS----> Art of Defense and Shadow Shield

Upgrade skills
1) Vitality Mastery
2) Offensive Sense
3) Defensive Sense
4) Impact Control
5) Sixth Sense
6) Damage Absorb

Armor....
This is simple Maximize your crit rate and damage by getting to Ring of Luck+3. And Amulet of Pain+7. If you dont donate then Ring Of Luck +2 will suffice. Your helm, blade (my prefrence is katana) and crystal should be crafted with crit damage increase and your suit, greaves and boots should be Sword Skill Amp. If you get an epulate make sure you get EOF. With a good defense rate and no need for magic, EOF is the perfect choice. Also dont forget to grab 2x BoF and 2x Vamp Earrings.

Things to Remember...
1) Your not as fast as a blader, use skills wisely
2) If fighting a mage or an archer use their range against them (i.e. Shield Splinter, Shield Ray combo)
3.) If soloing a dungeon Maintain a steady combo and keep that hp regain buff going.

To my fellow FS's if im leaving anything out msg me and i will add.

I'd have to disagree, i find sFS alot better especially for pvp. Not to mention it would depend on the combo

sFsucks on PVP... really sucks... even they have cool skills and huge def. it really sucks.
just use and mFs... its a range attacker good crit... best ways to defeat all your enemies...
