hi guys, i was just wondering if the flying stone smash series for a pure str blader is worth investing sp into as it is capable of giving bleed status. or is it all together useless? anyone tried this? plz help

Bleeding effect itself sounds good. But I don't really think it's worth to invest SP into it. Bleed during grinding doesn't really help alot and you don't use smashing in PVP anyway.

i was thinking may be its effective in pvp??

if your a pure blader, not dual or anything, id get it, but i think it can be pilled off?

Yea it can be pilled off. Just like stun and dull etc.

yeah i see.but those pills are very expensive too..like 20 k a pill..so how about without pills? is it anygood?

bleed is very effective, and the pills to pot it off have a 20 second cool down, so between your lightning chain and smashing series, you should get a status that u can work with to kill your opponent in pvp. I dont have smashing series on my s/s hybrid nuker, but i want to..already used my 250k sp from farming though

used 170k jst to get from 70 to 80 skills

if u have the sp, yes, otherwise no, just stick with KD + stab.

ive yet to pvp someone who doesnt pill the effect off though :/

wow thats a lot of sp

actually lvl the smashing series it really helps when u are grinding. devil cut, smashing series, chains or devil cut , smashing and kd FTW !

it helps a lot in the low lvls atleast

its pretty nice for pvp as well
Smashing + Chains = more change of bleed!

i would get this skill i have a lvl 77 hybrid s/s and once you get bleed on them you can kill about anything it is very fast and links very well inbetween kd and stabs

If you get smashing dont you have too much skills i mean cutting, dances,chains,kd's

nope, smashing is a great series in my opinion. It's a nice way to finish of a chain. Plus, the bleeding effect is nice. I use it all the time in PvP, and effectively too.

it is a MUST for a full farmed blader and a must in pvp for status , w/o status blader cant kill unless u hv sun blade

but for pve u hv other better skills ie. chain, kd , stab, devil cut, sword dance

so only get it when u fin farming at 70+, or u can get a few lvl of the 1st book at earlier lvl when u hv no other bicheon skills yet

well ya its more important for pvp and it speeds up ur grinding a lot if u dont use the 5 or 4 chains cause they take a lot of time. kd, as well takes time cause if the mob if knocked down, after u stab it, it still takes time for it to get back up, killing ur time.

its good for putting between chains or KDs

i hv to disagree on that, bleed during grind helps alot when against champ/giant or even normal mob, put a bleed status(smashing) on a mob and u may be able to fin the mob in juz 1 chain but thats only at lvl 71+

the part abt dun use smashing in pvp, its not abt the damage but the status, 6 chain takes too long to cast so smashing shld be the prior skill to put status on ur enemy

The first two books are awesome for grinding.
Lion shout
Soul Cut
Stab 'n Smash

and if it still isn't dead, I use a Strike 'n Smash. That's more or less my grinding pattern atm. The first two books are more or less some of the strongest skills for a blader around that lvl, so they're worth it.

Is a must to up itXD really effective..trust me...if u think that cost u too much of sp...up the first lvl enough
