Bladedancer is the ideal class, for beginners, high DPS, mobility and enough survailability on top of that. Bladedancer is the second easiest class to learn behind the Summoner who is the ultimate class for lazy people (no offense Summoner players :P).
Nevertheless, Bladedancer may be one the easiest class to learn,
but what about mastering him and using him to his full potential?
Anyone, can spin-to-win his way through most of the mobs of the game, but not anyone can output the highest DPS in a endgame dungeon without dying.
This guide aim is to help you maximize your DPS output in endgame dungeons and hopefully not die.
Before I move on to the skill build, I want to mention one thing.
This is only a recommendation and it is not guaranteed that it will work for everyone. It worked for me, so feel free to use it and tweak your way to fit it in your gamestyle.
SKILL BUILD
This build revolves around your Lightning Stance/Draw Stance, that's why I picked up the Lighting Focus as my passive.
Suggested skill rotation for this build:
Soaring falcon (focus source) > Storm Cleave (Changes to draw Stance)> Left Button/ F + Right Button (repeat until you are left with 1 focus)> Multislash (Changes to Basic Stance)> Rolling Typhoon (Possible Sunder)> SS > Soaring Falcon > Bodykick + Anklebiter > Lightning draw (Changes to Draw stance)Left Button /F + Right Button (repeat until you are left with 1 focus)
rinse and repeat the above using Flaming Scourge and Maelstrom when you think it is necessary.
Three points here, so you will have a decent source of Focus for the rest of the combo, since this one is your opening skill, before you enter the Draw Stance.
Three points here too, because it generates three Wind Focus which you will later spend to cast Rolling Typhoon, also it generates Focus per hit for a total of 4 Focus
Upon casting this skill, you will gain lighting surge and you will have 10 seconds to complete the combo, two points are enough, since they offer zero casting cost and extra damage on knockdown or grappled enemies, though some people may want to spend three point to guarantee critical hit against knockdown or grappled enemies, but you have other skill for that.
1 point will allow to speed cast Sunder on top of that skill and the second one will increase the damage of this ability.
While in Draw stance, you will be using this skill to consume your Lighting Stacks and deal insane amounts of damage over a few seconds. I chose this path, because it has higher damage than the other. You can switch to the left one if you are farming, since this right path is not AOE.
You should choose this skill for the damage resistance effect, it is a good way to absorb some damage when in a pinch or if you want to draw aggro without taking damage. The movement speed buff is a welcome addition of course.
You will be using this skill during lighting stance to create Lighting Stacks which you will consume with Lighting Flash, as I've mentionned above. I've decided to spend 3 points there, forthe improved casting speed, since the time window to stack Lighting Stacks and consume them is quite short, that's why the faster the better.
Now, Sunder. You can use it after Multislash in conjuction with Rolling Typhoon for some extra damage, before you go again into draw stance.
This skill is really useful if you spend three points into it for the sole reason that you can use it up to three times, before it goes into cooldown and the total damage output is very good too.
1 point always must be spent in escaping skill t ensure better survailability.
The only reason I chose that tree is so that once I used that skill I would switch to Draw Stance, so that I would have two skill which can open up the combo, the other one being the Lighting Draw of course.
This is a complimentary skill which I advise you to use only if you find yourself in the need to to mitigate some damage
