Snake sword dance.. How Important?

[DeathBeforeDishonor]

Hello, well I need to know how important snake sword dance
and all the skills in that line are.. They use like 75k sp
to max them so I was thinking just level 1 of book 1 and 2?
This is for a blader.. And basically I'm wandering if they
are that important that i need to max em? I realise they are
useful in PvE.. But would lvl 1 of the first 2 books pull it
off? Also they aren't used in PvP are they? You use soul cut
Don't you? Thank you.

Oh and are the blocking ratio skills linked to the phys deff
skills? Or are they not? Thanks a ton for your help

As your a blader and they are 1 of 2 of the only ranged skills you have, and one of the only aoe skills you have, I suggest maxing the entire series, or at least the 2nd book.

You'll probably only use it to lure mobs so don't max them unless you got the sp to spare.

im making a nuker and i ll up snake sword dances JUST Lv 1 . . . coz isnt a lot of dif in lv 1 and the other... i just need it to lure the npc thieves ( i ll b hunter:) )

[DeathBeforeDishonor]

Yeah well I was thinking if I'm only using it to lure
only get the first two books at level one.. like 600SP
instead of 75k SP.. I'm Farming now and I could farm
the extra but I really don't want to.. Takes long enough
as it is haha. Just wanna get it over and done with.

That skills is useful when you first get it bc its stronger than the other luring skill and also works well when you plvl someone

[DeathBeforeDishonor]

I won't be plvling so don't worry about that.

well if you want to use it for luring why not max it? this way when u are luring mobs ur also doing more dmg to them so then they die faster but if you dont want to farm the extra sp then dont

but i think they are worth getting and usefull for aoe gridning

[DeathBeforeDishonor]

Yeah but its an extra 75k SP lol.
Screw it, not getting them. Not
worth the extra time to me I think.

[tedtwilliger]

You max every other skill you use. So when your using this one, why not max it? Seems self explanatory to me.

[DeathBeforeDishonor]

Because the others might be more important than this one.
That's why I might choose to max the others and not this.

I used it a lot as hunter.
In combination with light it's one of the best skills to remove mobs and NPC thieves from a trader because it's immediate cast and multiple target hitting.

[DeathBeforeDishonor]

I might farm it later or something.

get em to like 60, the transfer range gets bigger as you lvl them (if you aren't farming for em)

[DeathBeforeDishonor]

Hmm I see, I thought it stayed the same like a wizard AoE spell
