Balanced Fighting

Balanced Fighting directs your character to focus on defense and offense equally. This will deal an average amount of damage when you attack, and will block an average amount of damage from your attackers. Some players say that the best way to advance your skills is to simply play the game normally with balanced fighting, and to avoid training. Their justification is that more hitpoints will make you a better blocker than a higher shielding or attack skill.

Other combat modes are Offensive Fighting and Defensive Fighting.
