First off, for beginners, if you are a person who likes to inflict heavy AoE (Area of Effect) damage with rapid and flashy Sword skills while at the same time holding a huge crystal Astral Shield, then Force Shielder is the class for you. For your stats: Always follow your "Growth" (press "C" then look above your STR, INT, DEX stats) ALWAYS follow Growth.
-Then when you finished Growth and don't know what to do, meet the requirements for your Armor, Weapon, and Crystal. Then follow the next Growth.
Now when you make a Force Shielder, you have to decide, later on, if you want to be a Magic Force Shielder, Sword Force Shielder, or Hybrid Force Shielder.
Here are the good and bad, downs and ups, pros and cons, of each type of Force Shielder:
Magic Force Shielder
+You'll be really good in PVP because of your strong cannons AND you have the defense of a Warrior since you wear the same Armor as them.
+In my opinion, Magic Force Shielder levels you up and helps you gain Skill Experience faster at low levels because they do good damage.
+Nice DPS (Damage Per Second)
-You'll be spamming cannons the rest of your CABAL life, and not showing any rapid and cool-looking Sword skills.
-there really is no point in making MFS. FA's and Wizards have buffs to cover up their defense.
Sword Force Shielder
+You'll be an important player in your party because of your defense and AoE skills to take on those mobs.
+You have a LOT of cool-looking skills (Storm Cut, Shield Break, the list goes on.....)
+You can solo almost anything from quests to dungeons
-You won't do as good in PVP as a Magic Force Shielder because Magic Force Shielders have higher DPS and can pack a whallop from a distance like Force Archers.
Hybrid Force Shielder
+You'll be balanced in everything, making you a decent Force Shielder.
+You will be 8.2 / 10 good in PVE and PVP.
-You won't be exceptional in one category. Meaning, that you won't master the art of Sword and master the art of Magic as well as if you were one or the other.

Remember to ALWAYS cast your buffs, PVP OR PVE.
Mass Duels ( Guild Wars, 5v5,.....)
Focus on one opponent at a time. If you're dueling someone and an enemy decides to help, FadeStep away, and try using a ranged Skill. If you're the only one alive, then fight to the death.
Duels (1v1)
Against Archers
- DASH. LEVEL 9 DASH. If you don't have it, you're pretty much screwed against a Force Archer or Wizard. A good Archer will FadeStep as much as they can. Dash toward him and hit them with a ranged skill like a Magic Skill for Magic Force Shielders. Earth Divide and Shield Ray for the Sword Force Shielders. Level 9 Force Kick helps.
Against Wizards
-Same strategy as Archer. Try to stun and knock them down, that's essential. Level 9 Force Kick helps.
Against Warriors, Bladers, Force Bladers, and other Force Shielders
-If you're a Magic Force Shielder, then FadeStep and keep throwing in those Magic Skills. You should get some quick-casting spells and some heavy damage spells. Remember to Combo as well.
- If you're a Sword Force Shielder, go crazy. Cast your chain of Sword Skills and hack-and-slash with them. Remember to Combo.
-If you're a Dex FS, kock them down first, then stun them. This is called a stun-lock combo. Canons would be good in this.
-IF YOU DO NOT COMBO IN A PVP YOU WILL LOSE. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS COMBO COMBO COMBO.
