+TheGosu reminds me of Orochimaru...

+Thomas Anderson xD

well he needs to lick his lips

+Beleth Thats because they are Korean. Plastic surgery is rampant over there.

+Saber0003 how in the fuck is that relevant to beleth's comment

+Saber0003 what

+Tehzo lol its not. I replied to the wrong comment. Meant to go to NoWayItsJAYYY, but its funny so Ima leave it

lmao aight

Richter Belmont The guy u see in this clip is known as the legendary blade master of Blade & Soul. He won many tournaments although another BMs was eliminated before 1/16 or 1/8 rounds, it made the difference becos' no one think BM can be strong like that at that moment - or maybe just him. Unexpectly, the class style was change after v2.3 patch and he had quitted the game because of military obligation 1 month before the final tournament (KR vs CN) last year was held. Nowadays, I still don't see better BM player than him, seriously :)

+Richter Belmont i have to say BM and KFM are both challenging class to play in PVP since you have to play reactively unlike other classes "cough assassin, BD, cough" where you can just faceroll buttons and win.

+Nam Cung Huy Btw he came back for the tournament with a military hairstyle XD it was on november im watching the matches from CN vs KR unluckily i dont speak korean its dificult for me to translate it =) the videos are on the Plaync channel =)

+Richter Belmont that class of lockdown can't be considered balance, doesn't matter if he's pro or not, it's just stupid to watch a guy being locked during the entire fight, despite if he made a mistake on wasting 1 escape skill

Every class can do 100-0 lockdowns. And it's not just 2 escape skills he has 2 more ways to get out which he both got countered with. Learn more about the game before you comment.

+Dave793 well he did 100-0 that other player twice, even the crowd went wild, he deserve that smirk tbh.

Most live mmos work better when being used by a computer provided by the company that made the game and it sometimes depends on how close to the company's headquarters you are.

+MoonMoonFang Thats... not how it works at all lol. Server locations =/= company location. And your internet could be taking an ineffecient route to the servers (or effecient depending on your "luck"). There's also complete specs online for what you need to run the game at 60fps smoothly. And that's not that demanding either. The real difference is that they're playing on LAN using the same network so the lag (as in internet connection and respondance between the computers) is nearly 0, meaning the game feels nearly completely different.

Jaymar Rodriguez same here lel

For some yes. Other than that the Lyn blade master needs that spin to win reworked

+Melissa Huynh all class got counter skill (i forgot maybe like 2-3 counter skill)

his name is miyamoto

+Super Marijus PvP is very VERY equalized, its goes by pure skill and skill points...so if you happen to be a higher level than your opponent then you have more skills to use, but thats the only "advantage" all gear is equalized in PvP arena

The Assassin is highly mobile with multiple teleports, dashes, and stealth (uninterrupted running + movement speed bonus). They also deal high amounts of burst damage and can chain stun up to 10 seconds. They are a strong PvP class, but die in 2-3 short combos if caught. Yet again any class will die quickly in a few combos if playing at the skill level seen above.

Pretty sure level cap is 50 in other regions. At least in Taiwan.

+Ryu771TV Korean.

Uh. It's already out here.

+Horuz www.bladeandsoul.com/en/ Great time to hope for something!

Linosek279 i mean the esports aspect xd not the game itself

+Horuz ESL is hosting an online tournament on february 7th :D

+Justin Mcmullen Perhaps but you'd completely waste the experience of the game and it would be really un-optimal so you'd be in a disadvantage.

+Dingleberry Sauce This might be believable if you've got supporting evidence for either of your points. If he thinks it'd work better for him, it just might.

+Justin Mcmullen Maybe you could get the mouse axes set up properly with xpadder, MotionInJoy, or Xinput. I use a PS2 controller thru USB convertor with Joy2Key, but have only ever done games that don't use mouse axes to move the camera. Not sure you can do that with Joy2Key, but MotionInJoy seems to be able to. The limit you will have is you can't "whip" the camera as fast as with a mouse.

+T Fickes Theres simply not enough buttons to use every spell available to you on a controller....

+MrJackfro5t Much better answer, thank you. That is a common problem with many of these games (I gave up trying to use a controller on DFO; too many skills even with some entered with UDLR+skill combos).

+Phillip Molina man it says both blade masters...

+eoL LoKi well you know that Lyn can't be blade masters? so it must be a blade dancer

+Mia Dressel It was Blade Master. That's why it was shortened as LBM as in Lyn Blade Master among the players in all other servers except NA/EU.

+Hao Ren They are completely different classes though.

Laerei LOL how does different name makes it different class? KR is called LBM, JP is called LBM, RU is called LBM, China is called LBM, TW is called LBM, in NA/EU is called LBD. LBD = LBM. Still the same class. Or you mean LBM vs JBM here.

Same

+Phillip Molina Jin BM won. 2-1

ok thx

+Mad Mel Hongmoon Skill on Lightning Draw (4), Tier 5 - Stage/Form 2

Thx. Only on ch ans comming 11 febuary on eu na right?

+Mad Mel 10 :)

hi im poppy :p

+Mad Mel BTW it's not a cage.

this was Korean Not Chinese btw

Lord NickJin

ana maisuradze But Jin classes pump their arms when they sprint. Kun is the one that throws her arms back, in the same fashion as the blademaster is this video.

Its always been Kun, Gon, Lyn, and Jin to me. Maybe though...?

Tristan Jones Then yes. I mean Yun.

Lord Nick it's a kun, yeah

+Szafka Domowa Pretty sure Macro is for high ping people to battle the lag on skill. Tournament players don't need that.

+Artorias the Abysswalker sry dont get that. Can you explain in english? Is macro's are against ToS?

What part don't you understand lol. Using macro is just a way to Animation-cancel effectively if you're having high latency, and if you're playing the NA version you don't really need it. About the TOS and whether it's allowed or not, I'm pretty sure there haven't been anyone getting banned with using macro in TW version, but I can't say that NA and EU version will follow that exact same route.

First at all macro is not animation skipping for laggers etc. Macro is a perfect set of timing for keys for example. To master combo you can perfectly set time how many msec has to be clicked key after another key. That mean you can use combo without losing any msec that will lose as normal clicking human reaction. That's all i wanted to know.

+Szafka Domowa He's literally saying that macros are just a crutch for people who aren't good enough Most tournament players don't want macros because the combat situations are different everytime and its more effective to simply press the buttons

It's only Lyn blade master, or blade dancer. It is NOT lyn blade dancer however.

+YuneShik I believe it is LBD in NA/EU (Lyn Blade Dancer)

Rassei Reidan Nope, it's Blade Dancer, like I said.

+SapiliGaming You're right - you can see it on the grab skill the lyn uses, that's a blade DANCER skill :)

Daxxer So i'm no crazy ! :D

+SapiliGaming Korean version of the game calls the Blade Dancer the "Lyn Blade Master" or LBM, So the title is correct.

+SapiliGaming guys in KOREA is lyn blade master we in eu/na we have bladedancer in korea is lyn blademaster /jin blademaster now understand?

Jonny Juan In North America/Europe version, the Lyn Blade Master was renamed to the Lyn Blade Dancer. The Blade Master that is referring to is the one that is selected by the Jin/Yun race.

+Taylor Peay It's not a joke. That's the band playing in round 3. American punk playing over shouting Koreans in 2016 is funny to me.

+Taylor Peay and yes I know this is from a 2014 match

+Taylor Peay np

League of Buizcit You must be blind, these are people that have been playing for years so you can't say anything until you get in the game. But lets say that this takes no skill, if so then most other mmos take even less skill

Patoliflonge broken? u just saw one of the worlds top Blade Master players. Of course he will make it look broken. its alot more skill based then DN, trust me

Patoliflonge dragon nest = broken wtf r u saying. if ur not a class with element/debuff spam and aoe spam with kiting abilities like the fucking adepts or pyro or ice witch, u have no chance ( ik i missed a few classes like the soul eater and shit but fuk u its unbalanced )

+Patoliflonge How can you say that before actually reaching max level and learning in depth knowledge about the game lol.

***** Idk? Maybe because from the little i've seen it looks like one hit leads into a never ending combo with no chances of escaping or using a recovery move...And maybe because at the time i was mad that people that are criticizing dragon nest just don't know anything about the game like our little fellow Ken Kaneki But oh well, this debates serves no purpose anymore, i stopped playing dragon nest months ago and my comment is old...

Patoliflonge It deserves no purpose because you have no basis to call it broken :P

Don't worry you will lose a lot more matches soon against other classes. Placements mean nothing right now. Also BM is considered the weakest class this patch lol. That's why there are almost no BMs in plat and only like 2 in diamond.

***** Strongest?

+Exidon BM is actually the weakest class on the 45 patch, going against FM is just about their only good matchup.

yeah blade master will be a lot stronger when na gets the level 50 patch. on the feb. 10 patch we get some hongmoon skills and that should help

+Exidon lol unbalanced, a FM just won a NA BNS tournament. It's all on the players skill man

+Fanis Patitsas so fucking true

+Fanis Patitsas But once you know how to BM, its just easy and well very opxD

+Fanis Patitsas bms are considered OP in KR server at 50 cap, BD are just a easier hybrid version with alot of 1-press-high-damage kind of skill.

+asd asdas Im pretty sure the key difference is NA/EU are playing off those exact 50 patches with LESS skills available and points. Sure its "Balanced" at THAT level but why do we have this current system where some classes have less risk and way more reward? The complaints about balance is not just "Oh blade masters are weak now but LAAAAATTTTTEEEEEERRRRRR they will be awesome!" No, that is not balanced.... I know reddit is ablaze with such and such class is currently op, but the real thing that SHOULD be looked at if this game wants to be a REAL competitive game and compete with other high end competitive F2P game is be on top of balance patches. Lets look at the most successful f2p game... League of legends. They balance characters every patch. They look at what is played and what isnt played at each tier of gameplay and adapt. So now I ask you this, whats the break down for top 100? If the game was truly balanced wouldn't this look pretty even? Well lets enlarge the scale. Whats top 200, 300? Im pretty sure this is what NCsoft NEEEEEEDS to look at if they want it to be an Esport. The other thing that needs to be looked at is the fact we are basing this off a game that has been elsewhere for X years and the player base we currently have. That is like someone fresh to street fighter or call of duty or better yet, starcraft since this is a korean environment. This amount of scaling needs to be taken seriously over their constant cash shop adjustments.

Xion Arcadia wat dude chill yo tits, 50 patch does do some skill balancing but I doubt it makes such a big difference. Unless they made summoner squishier in arena. That was why I ask is the damage higher or anything. BnS is a player skill reliant game, each class has their own difficulty. BMs are pretty much a higher skill cap class, with so many combos and variations to mix. Reaction and quick thinking makes it seem OP in korean server actually. If NA players are just bad at using it, it doesn't mean the class is weak etc. About ESport.. Its already being held twice in Korea.. players from china and japan took part in it. Pretty sure NA top tiers will be invited soon. Why are you even comparing BnS to a MOBA lol. LoL is literally a 5men teamplay game.
