well I don't quite get it , but I guess you mean which skills are good and which should be left out ...

Well Stab 'n smash is useless , the later books suk. The combo's are all good.
Knockdowns and stabs are good and that's about it. I am not a fan of the other skills perhaps someone could tell you the use of those.
Anyway I wouldn't get Castle Shield that's totally useless

Don't listen to woutR,
I'm maxing:

Smashing Series
Chains
The Soul Cut Blade (ranged attack)
KnockDown
Stab
Passive

I also have book one of snake sword dance, but I only use it to mass kill irritating blue mobs when thiefing.

Um....actually it would be best to use smashing series only in the early lvls, to help you kill. But most pple delvl or pass it up for Hidden Blade (the knockdown) and Heaven Killing Blade series.

Blade force is optional, if you reallly want it, go ahead, just sp farm a little more.

The sword dance series....take a poll on that, I'm not going to advise you on that skill. Really up to you.

But the Chain blade series: GET THE LAST TWO SKILLS. A must for str bladers.

Castle shield really is useless. If you could still move, that'd make a great skill, but how it is now...

For fire; everything except Fire Wall and Flame Wave. Keep the imbue at a lvl where casting it doesn't wipe out all of your MP.

As a sub; Lightning is good, with Grasswalk. It makes a big difference.

Ice or force is another good alternate. Ice particularly if you want to screw over someone in PvP with autopot off. Force will make you a godsend to lower lvl chars, who rather get ressed than buy a horse back to where they died.

Bladers in PVP use mostly Knockdown and Stab series, so get those, its cool on giants when they are getting KSED also

for PVM, chain series are a godsend, so get the full series on that. Everything else is just a point or two for leveling.

For Fire, get the same things a fire glaiver would, but also a few in the shield isnt such a bad idea

And which ones are my 100 damage skills? Stab n smash (~800), Evil Cut Blade (~400).

Please tell me because I'm dying to know how to improve my level 48 Blader. The skills are all there for a reason, you just have to learn how to use them right. There are some skills I don't know how to use best, but I'll learn eventually.
