umm that would be unfair, WA move slower but deals more dmg BL moves faster but has avg dmg no way do they do more dmg than WA....

Blader deals most dmg, and that is just the way it is. Dunno if it is different in the us version, but i seriously doubt it.

no way Blader deals more dmg they hit faster and are quicker but deals less dmg then a WA per skill

No, they don't.
Lets compare skills shall we?

WA comp attack lvl 1, lvl 1 char:
Amp: 1.70
Add attack: 802.50(+ 2.50 per level)

This attack hits only once, and has a cast time of 3 sec.

WA gm attack lvl 1, lvl 1 char:
Amp: 1.70
Add attack: 806.00(+ 6.00 per level)

This attack hits multiple times, and has a cast time of 4.3 sec.

WA am attack lvl 1, lvl 1 char:

Amp: 1.60
Add attack: 873.40(+2.70 per level)

This attack hits only once, and has a cast time of 6.5 sec.

Rest of the WA attacks deal low dmg/low amp, so i cba writing those.

Now lets move on to a blader:

BL comp attack lvl 1, lvl 1 char:
Amp 1.70
Add attack: 755.50(+5.50 per level)
Crit rate: 10%
Crit dmg: 10%

This attack has a cast time of 3 seconds, and hits 6 times.

BL gm attack lvl 1, lvl 1 char:
Amp 1.70
Add attack: 755.50(+5.50 per level)
Crit rate: 10%
Crit dmg: 10%

This attack has a cast time of 4.7 seconds, and hits 7 times.

BL am attack lvl 1, lvl 1 char:
Amp: 1.60
Add attack: 521.20(+1.50 per level)
Crit rate: 5%
Crit dmg: 20%


As you can see, WA skills have slightly, and I mean, slightly more dmg than BL skills.
But bladers have a natural boost to crit dmg/rate, which adds up the dmg bladers lack.
Furthermore, if you compare dmg/cast time, also referred to as damage per second, or just dps, bladers are far more superior than a warrior.
What good is a skill hitting only once, with a cast time of 6.5 seconds.
Lets say we have a wa and a bl, with the exact same gear.
A WA attacks using it's comp skill. It takes 3 seconds to cast it, and it ends up doing 5k dmg when it crits. Blader comp takes 3 sec to cast as well, but deals 2k dmg, 6 times. That is more than twice the dmg.
Ofcourse, if you compare ONE hit only, warriors deal more dmg, but it just doesn't work that way

that's now how it looks like in US version...Bladers are very weak and have low def. but hits fast

800+ def isnt exactly low def.

I've tried a high level (120) warrior and i own a lvl 144 BL, and yes, the blader does way more damage ^^

And all characters need to train both - sword and magic - to be good, not just the fb. Obviously, trans/trans is ideal.
