It could just be because of his internet. Everyone will have a different experience with these types of things.

Topic locked, event has long since ended.

Gap has a heavy toll on your damage after about 5 levels, it will begin to decrease your damage until after 15 levels you're doing about 10% of your original damage or even less to that target.

P.A. is better for you if you have low amounts of STR, but if you have high STR, using STR philos is better.
Sames goes for INT if I'm correct.

I will be posting a guide shortly for this class, sorry for the delay in reply.

I am currently working on a new guide for all the paths of SM. Sorry for the delay. 

TM/BT 
A TM is better because of foil and it's ability to stun lock targets. 

If you want higher damage, go for Human Sword Master. (You will need Strike for this build.)
If you want to have useful support buffs for your team, go for Magnus. Although I don't particularly recommend a dual Magnus as the penalty isn't worth dealing with. 

With these items I recommend going full vit you want 3.5k+ physical defense. However depending on your philos and psssives it is possible.  

Hunter's Smoke, Fearful Blow and Illusion Attack.

the white lucky box drops it, click that topic there to see the full list.

If I do say so myself, this game is worth your time. It is very similar if not exactly like the old Luna. Same mechanics just a few updates performed by @Orange. The playerbase is pretty active although most of the people who do play are from Asian or South American countries. That is why you saw the global section had non-EU countries. Considering most EU players speak English, it wouldn't make much sense to separate them as the forum is ran in English. There are many players that do speak English although a majority of them don't speak it fluently. I hope you enjoy your time here and let me know if you have any more questions.

1. Movement speed doesn't have a limit, if it does it's nearly impossible to reach.
2. To count your total movement speed, you have to add all the % values, and normal MS stats
So if I use 2 flickering earrings with 45 ms, and 1 L. Cape, my MS will be 450+176+90, or 716 total MS.
 
3. MS % is counted like this
Base MS: 450
5%: 22.5
10%: 45
15% 67.5
so, for every 5%, you add 22.5 ms
Example: 30% MS = 135 MS
 

Pet Magic has higher heals than support because it has higher INT

30 Str happens to be more effective in the long run because 3% p.a's value doesn't change because of how much p.a you get from other items you have equipped. it goes off of the base p.a.

Litheon: 20-25m
HQ Thunder Crystal: 60m
HQ Wind Crystal: 60m
Wiz Robe: 7.5-9b
