bladestorm is definitely powerful, but thats just the thing. its powerful from the start. personally, i put 3 in bladestorm, but 4 wouldnt be bad either. 5 will make it super-strong, but in my opinion, its not really worth maxing. just my two cents.

I found rank 5 blade storm to be very useful.

5 points in Blade Storm puts the nail in the coffin....I like it.....

i choose to put 2 points in all the combat skills (for rep purposes) and put everything else in passive skills. once i got bladestorm i put 5 points in it.

as akamystic so eloquently put...it certainly does put the nail in the coffin!

Not a bad idea. Course, by the time you max bladestorm, yer sword is near mastered, so it's not much use for rep anymore. I think 3-5 is good, enough, I maxed mine. Fun to watch stuff die.

I put five on mine as soon as it opened up.
I saved my points up and as soon as it opened
up I maxed it out. Never had a regret, its worth
using even now that I'm mastered to dispatch
the annoying cadet or gravedigger that slows
your step and helps take out some of the bigger
bosses.

I did have bladestorm at one time but decided to unlearn it.... I had no use for it even in pvp, just for me atleast.

Its always going to be up to each individuals play style. Characters I have made since the locked out skipped combos, blade storm is the only thing in attack I end up with 5 points in. Most other points I put in passives, and don't even unlock several attacks.

i also did five in stab if anyone wants to comment any other kind of cutlass skill on this thread your welcome to

As I see it, there are seven different builds:
1) Leveling (one point on each thing)
2) unlimited non-PvPer
3) unlimited PvPer
4) basic (former unlimited) non-PvPer
5) basic (former unlimited) PvPer
6) basic non-PvPer
7) basic PvPer

For builds 2-5, max bladestorm is helpful. Max THRUST is only good for build #2. Cleave and flourish never seem to fly in PvP, so hack/slash/cleave are the combinations to play with, depending on which build (above) you are doing. Passives are essential.

thats always a way to put it

i dont think its nesessary... id much rather (and i did) use all those skill points for endurance. total, it boosts your health by 125. im over 2000 health and im lvl 34

At higher levels, 125 health is very insignificant. One good HACK will wipe that out in PvP. By the time endurance is unlocked, it is not needed. (I haven't retrained - I still have 5 points there - *blush*)
