Good point Edward.....that extra 5 points can be useful elsewhere. I do suppose it's all a matter of preference. I have 4 pirates on open and one on test with different configurations. I'm still undecided on some things! I must have spent well over 40,000 in gold retraining skills on my first character (sigh).

P.S. Bladestorm ROCKS! LOL

Cutlass I never liked much, after skipped combos were eliminated, I really find it the most terrible skill now. Maybe from the start with so many cheats used in it in pvp got me on this track. With all the jump attacks and things still going on still don't like it.

So if you plan to go pvp then its a entirely different world.

If not I would disagree putting points in other stuff but passives. I like 5 points in blade storm for side issues. Some one runs something at ya, you can switch and take it out in one deal, and go back to what you were doing type thing.

It also depends if you don't wait on blade instinct and add damage. most that I do at the end..

Though it doesn't matter now much with bosses, the 125 did matter when working grenades on something like urchinfist.

I have blade storm maxed.. depending on the level.. it can do some pretty hefty damage!

Endurance is still worth the points if you don't use the cutlass though. Parry is a real good skill, worth the go. I'm not sure, but maybe a build could be done using just the combos?

I agree with Elf (was good before the combos couldn't be skipped), and I don't know if what Ed said can be verified, so eh.

I put 5 points in bladestorm it hits a good old-fashion 2.1k.(if i get a good combo before it) I tested it out on the kings assasin boss and with my full combo I take almost a quarter of his life a way.

Perhaps a Sweep and a Bladestorm can kill someone in PvP? Anyone able to verify?

Not unless both skills are beefed up and you are fighting someone muchhh weaker than yourself.

And even then, I'm not so sure.

i think it is worth it because it does tons of damage

[furballbuckeyes3114]

I put these:

1 hack
1 slash
1 cleave
5 flourish
5 thrust

5 sweep
1 brawl
0 taunt
5 bladestorm

0 parry
0 endurance

I find that Bladestorm is EXTREMELY helpful for the fact that it can do ove 1000 damage, and it doesnt take too long to recharge.

Just my two cents, because i pvp alot.
