Ok so I'm pure int nuker s/s. Lion Shouts just don't do it anymore due to the time it takes to cast all 3 and the time for a wiz to nuke me. So I'm turning to Bich Skills. Now I've narrowed it down to 2. (I know kd works wonders, but I want a long-range)

So which is better? I can get lvl 1 of the petal sword dance. (shoots 3 lines out)
Or should I spend my sp and get the Blade Force series and max it? Or will the lvl 1 of the 3rd book be enough to kill wiz. Or will the petal sword dance be more than enough.

Any Pure int that got bored and added skills in Sword know the dmg diff? I'm debating if I should keep farming past 70 since I REALLY want that light nuke. My plan is to go from light 65, sword 51, ice 60, fire 57, force 30-> light 70, sword 55-60, ice 60, fire 57, force 30 Once I either hit 70 or 71. Than just farm till 80 and beyond.


Also, If I buy and summon a cat, will it disappear in 28 days? Like I can't unsummon it and stop the countdown? And what happens when it disappear? If I have items in it where does it go. Thnks.

Petal Sword Dance is best, I tried all the ranged attacks out : soul cut blade, petal sword dance and lion shout

Most impressive was the PSD, go for it

petal sword dance has longer range and hits harder, use it

pets become unusable after 28 days, but they don't disappear. however, if u had stuff in them, u can't access them till u buy a clock.

Or you can use grass walk phantom towards the Wizard and use quick KD

but it's much more satisfying completely owning the wizard with ranged skills

Phantoming to him and using and KD + stabs is always good

PSD is FAR more faster, the time it takes to cast any wiz nuke < PSD and it looks sexier u gotta admit.

Yeah your cat will go in 28 days, but it won't disappear it'll just be unuseable then you have to buy a generating thing from silkmall.

and pets have their own invent which is where the item goes.

Petal sword dance

Longer range and better dmg, as stated above.
Works same way for me as a pure str
I've had plenty of CTF tickets by that single long ranged power hit, sometimes a 1-hit death for wizs

And probably more importantly, awesome for luring mobs when PvE, so if you're OK tanking, use it to pull in those lovely lovely mobs

true that. that's how u grind wit blader.

hes not a blader....

use different ones for different situations.
i can usually nuke and cast a lion shot with no cast time on it at all
petal is longer range and can hit 3 (not all as powerful thou)
the blade force at higher lvls has 2 hits so its also good for doing 2x damage almost

U should use cut-blades series against wiz, the first 2 cuts aren't that good. The Devil/Demon Cut Blades are good & cool & hit twice.
Also: if a wiz has 3k hp, he charges attack, then u use Devil OR Demon cut -> first cut hits 2.5k & 2nd cut will hit 500+. The wiz his attack will be canceled after the first cut hits. If u would use petal dance; the attack would not reach the wiz in time -> nuke fired and u are probably dead -.-

I use Petal Dance to kill noobs in pvp & lure mobs.

plus it can crit and with the imbue you do alot of dmg with a crit

psd can crit just as likely and when it does, it'll higher than devil/demon cut.

esay to killl wizard, use firewalll duh? and if it attacks u firewall will go down and u wont take any damage and u can nuke it before it nukes u and u win, u dont need any of those bicheon skills

dunno what was his lvl but there was a guy i was pvping and he just uses lion shout and i am dead ,and bladers usually use the snake sword thingy or the other one and i am dead ,btw i am almost no blues and no +s

Hmm so from what I'm getting, I should lvl PSD. Does anyone happen to know if PSD + lion shout maxed is strong enough to kill wizs? Also, If I get blade force, or PSD for that matter, will the lvl 1 of PSD and lvl 1 of Devil Cut be strong enough to last me to 90? Or will I have to max out these skills in order for them to be of any use at all. I've kept Snake sword dance at lvl 3 and Soul cut at lvl 7 for almost 30 lvls now....

Remember I'm pure int, so is it good to max those sword skills? As of right now, I'm just lvling sword and light until they are 90.

don't think that a lvl1 dance sword whatever can kill a lvl8x wiz

take level 1 fire wall. wait for him to nuke, than petal

hmm Than which should I get. I can get the lvl 1 book easily for PSD... but Between the Blade Force and Sword dance series I can only lvl 1. I'm already against the wall for sp and i'm NOT wasting money on a prem +. So which is more useful from your exp. Maxing Blade Force or Maxing Sword Dance. From what I can see, The Blade Force counts as 2 hits, similar to the euro wiz's ice nuke as 3 hits. This would mean I could take out a flame wall + hit them in 1 attk. Also, which has faster casting time? Blade Force or Sword dance series? I've always felt blade force was faster but never tested the high lvl.

keep psd at lvl 1 for now, dun max until u have everything else maxed.

psd takes longer to cast than blade force, but it has slightly longer range.

do correct me if i'm wrong ... for the same amount of mp used to cast a skill from blade force vs sword dance series, you get better damage from blade force. that seems to be what i'm experiencing.

i think sword dance can crit but the other can't ,and also with it u can lure mobs so u kill faster

yea, it looks that way, but ur mp consumption won't matter when u'r dead. dun worry about mp consumption, psd hits hard and fast, something which u need when it comes to killing a wizard.

looking at the base dmg. It seems that devil blade force hits harder than psd since devil = 2 consecutive attacks. And i'm pretty sure any sword move can crit >_>. I've had crits with every attack i've used except nukes.

petal takes longer to cast, but crits harder than cut blade

unless its crit or double crit, unlike u can kill wiz even wif juz 1 demon cut blade
