Equipment
Armour
Similar to Guardians, Blademasters are Templar and thus generally wearing heavy armour. Due to their inherently more aggressive nature, Blademasters might prefer to use Swordsman-type armour. It is one of three available types:
- Order
- Defender
- Swordsman
Order pieces are generally more balanced and tailored towards resisting status effects. This can help out tremendously as effects like Shock can cripple a BMs ability to deal damage properly.
Defender gear can come in handy with its inherent thorns. Should a Blademaster get surrounded, this can help clearing out weaker mobs easier and significantly faster. Thorns also help with building up Surges.
Swordsman-type gear increases a templars melee speed. This means that, the higher the speed, the faster the attacks. (This also means that animations play faster.)
Weapons
Traditionally, Templar and Blademasters in particular, use swords to face the hordes of hell. Although sometimes they can be seen using a shield or a gun. There is also rare situations where a two-handed gun is used, should the enemy be out of reach.
