FM vs BM, can FM win ?

[ConfusedNerd]

So I've seen some people (that I believe could be trolls) Claiming they've wrecked everything on FM in pvp... As a blademaster myself Im just confused. SO can FM win against BM and how ? I just want to know this so that I don't start loosing to a higher skill FM's that I've been countering effectively so far.

I am a FM, if I play vs a good BM I currently feel it is a VERY HARD matchup.

BM primarily avoids damage by using block, which FM's can:

 

Q/E into dragonchar (daze) or glacial beam (stun) which can be continued into a combo, or makes BM use an escape.

Snowball T4S2 against block will break it and make BM unable to block for 6 seconds, making them vulnerable to combo (or use an escape).

 

AoE like ice coil, meteor shower/blazing wall will hit past block.

Wild fire hit past block too.

FM certainly can :)

It's important to be on the move all the time and keep at least one chill stack on BM so they won't be able to use gap-closers. Swirling ice gems around FM are a great help too. If chill runs out somehow, frost sheath yourself to avoid BM's Rush/Five Point Strike or assume fire stance to be ready to deflect charge with Fire Storm.

When we'll get T5S1 Frost Palm, things will be a bit easier.
