Ask a Warrior Thread.

The only reason I'm going slow is because I opted to quest the first ~20 levels. I can train pretty efficiently once I get into the right places (worked with my other 4th job'ers). Also because I'm really weak right now, getting the base Dex out of the way.

Thanks for that, I might just go with Spears. There seems to be some pride among Pure Pole Arm knights, what's the difference between spears and pole arms, besides the obvious swing/stab thing? I'll probably be back in here when I get to 30. I'm gonna start noob-grinding now, I've completed all the possible quests and I'm still level 19.

Spears can abuse Spear Crusher, which hits up to three monsters three times each, while Pole Arms will excel with Pole Arm Fury, which hits up to six monsters once (and might be a bit faster). Spear Fury and Pole Arm Crusher exist too btw, but for obvious reasons they're not as good. Fury only wins over Crusher if there's a lot of mobs, and typically in most training maps you'll find mobs in groups of 2-4. Also, since Pole Arm Fury gets the most damage by hitting the most monsters, Fury makes a very poor skill to use against solitary targets such as bosses.

One good thing there is to say about PADKs is that they can get sniping spots occasionally, such as Crimson Guardians.
