Editing Blademaster Guides (section)

==Blademaster Skills==
I explained before that a blademaster has many skills and can be expensive at times. In this section I will list all the blademaster skills from 1-59. Once you hit 60, you should be a very advanced and strong blademaster, and you can choose easily for yourself. I will list the importance of the skill after I describe it to help you choose which skills to buy when you level up.

Level 1: Tiger Maw<br>
This skill is the first skill you get in the game and is used throughout all of your levels, it does a lot of damage at higher levels and can be a good skill at any level. I would not max it right away because of other skills that are better later on but this skill will be your main one for a while.

Level 3: Draw Blood<br>
This skill is one of my favorites at a high level. The damage it does as a hit is kind of weak, but it can cause bleeding damage to up to 2000 over 15 seconds at higher levels, this skill shouldn't be first priority, but its good to have since your are doing damage over time while you're using other skills to take down the enemy.

Level 6: Drakes Ray<br>
This skill is excellent. It does pretty good damage, and its a ranged skill, so you can draw back enemies in a crowd instead of running in and getting all the mobs on you. I recommend leveling this skill as soon as you can.

Level 9: Steam Strike<br>
This skill isn't that good since Its not too powerful, and it draws attention to yourself, which makes it bad in parties since you want the barbarian to attract the monsters. ''Plus'' it uses chi, which means you cant use it as often as other skills.

Level 9: Cloud Sprint<br>
This skill should be leveled up as much as possible until you hit level 30, because its a really fast way to travel on foot until you can fly. It increases your running speed by a good amount and its a pretty handy skill to blademasters.

Level 16: Alter Marrow Magical<br>
This skill is great if you are against mages, because blademasters are generally weak to magic. What this does is it decreases your physical defense to increase your magic defense. So whether you are in PvP or fighting magic mobs, this is a good skill to use.

Level 19: Aura of the Golden Bell<br>
This skill increases physical defense for 30 minutes. I recommend maxing this skill, but not until more important ones like Drakes Ray or Aeolian Blade.

Level 19: Aeolian Blade<br>
This skill is great for damage dealing, it does more damage than all of my skills and its a quick cast. I highly recommend maxing it, maybe even before Drakes Ray.

Level 23: Roar of the Pride<br>
This is an area effect stun skill. The higher level the skill, the longer the enemy is stunned. The skill is alright, but I don't use it too much because its just a waste of MP to stun them for only a few seconds.

Level 23: Alter Marrow Physical<br>
This is pretty much the same as Alter Marrow Magical but instead of increasing magic defense, it increases physical defense. It's alright but as a Blademaster you don't really need too much physical defense since you already have a lot. If you are wearing light armor it might be a good buff though.

Level 26: Oceans Edge<br>
This skill is good at damage dealing as well. Not as good as Aeolian Blade in my opinion, but it has a pretty cool speed decreasing effect that can be good for those pesky rangers that move back every shot. The slow effect could possibly be good for PvP as well.

Level 29: Tiger Leap and Leap Back<br>
Both of these skills are usually really pointless, but there are some creative uses for them. For example, Tiger leap, can be used to instantly leap forward so you don't have to run up to those rangers that move back a lot. And if you do Leap back, and then do Drakes Ray, you can form a little combo against physical mobs or players. I would only upgrade them once for the extra boost.

Level 29: Diamond Sutra<br>
This skill is the only healing spell a Blademaster has, so I recommend upgrading it pretty fast. However, its always good to use so no hurry to max it before Aeolian Blade or Drakes Ray

Level 34: Fan of Flames<br>
This skill does some pretty good damage in a fanlike AoE. It's pretty useful so I would upgrade it pretty high if you plan on fighting multiple enemies at once.

Level 44: Drake Sweep<br>
Similar to the Fan of Flames AoE except it a lot stronger, and has a wider radius. This skill is worth upgrading if you fight multiple monsters.

Level 59: Will of the Bodhisatva<br>
This skill is just like Cloud Sprint except it's faster, and it prevents stun and slowing effects. At level 59 you wont be traveling on foot that much, but its worth buying because its maxed as soon as you buy the skill.

Now those are just the common blademaster skills, I didn't include the special skills for Axe & Hammers, etc because I don't know anything about them. At level 29 you will get your skills that specialize in the certain weapon categories, when you get to that level you should know what you are doing so you can choose what you think is good, I'm just here to give you the basic idea.
