i think people here dont get the term pvp and pve..
pve:player vs environment - have a lot of AOE dmg so you can farm , do dungeon and tmq fast ,finish quests faster
pvp player vs player - have single target skill and can kill that target fast mostly vs player but works vs single mobs
being either doenst mean you can do the other just means you can do as efficiently thats why .when "Victorjacare" said its only pvp he obviously means there is no reason to build him as a pve since most of the swords man abilities are single target and if you wanna build him as a pve you just hurt yourself cause you will be weaker the other classes who do it much better.
what im trying to say is that you can do pvp and still play pve cause the pvp build is just better , you will do dmg to mobs and kill a boss faster and just have fun. if you really do want to be casual pve player then be it but using a so called "pve" build will just make you weaker.
