- Windcutter [Active] [10]
- Blade Windmill [Active] [10]
- Proficiency [Passive] [10]
- Forged Edge [Passive] [10]
- Area Zero [Ultimate] [2]
- Mysterious Shadow [Active] [10]
- Wrath [Passive] [10]
- Dark Shadow [Passive] [10]
- Conditioning [Passive] [10]
- Malice [Passive] [10]
- Invisible Technique [Active] [1]
- Evasion [Passive] [1]
- Dance of Wind [Active] [1]
- Cloak of Shadows [Buff] [1]
- Shadow Move [Buff] [1]
- Sacrifice [Buff] [1]

lukesheep forgot to add Shadow Move to it guide, so I add it myself because Shadow Move is require to unlock Conditioning.

I found many guides that mentioned Dance of Sura as PvP skill but lukesheep's dont have, so any ideas? I dont spend Zen, so I dont want to add wrong skill or restart a new character when my character is already Lv60. My 'Active' skills are still level 1.

Lukeshep's build is sort of mixed, and leans more to PvE. For a blader PvP build, check the first post in SquarePig's guide.

Are you going as a 2DEX 1CON PvP build?
I'd suggest altering the build to look like this, with alterations to suit your own tastes:

Proficiency [1]
Windcutter [10]
Evasion [1]
Forged Edge [10]
Dance of Wind [1]
Cloak of Shadows [10]
Shadow Move [1]
Quickness [1]
Blade Windmill [10]
Dark Shadow [10]
Sacrifice [3]
Conditioning [10]
Dance of Sura [10]
Wrath [10]
Mysterious Shadow [10]

Quick Slots
1: Mysterious Shadow/Windcutter/Dance of Sura/Blade Windmill
2: Quickness/Cloak of Shadows/Sacrifice

Cloak of Shadows is to be used against long duration skills and to outlive clones when an enemy blader dies. Quickness to outrun the clones for that extra bit of remaining time. ;)

Invisible Technique has such lousy DPS that it usually isn't worth using, even if it can stun opponents on occasion (Windcutter's stun chance is much higher). I'd recommend Sacrifice over it, if you want something else to use while waiting for cooldown of the 4 main actives.

You're dropping passives like Malice, Evasion, and Proficiency in favor of the actives/buffs that temporarily boost your performance, since PvP battles don't last for long. Of course, you should be slotting your equips with plenty of DEX and CON stones to more than make up for this loss (no to STR stones). The reason why I picked maxing Wrath over Proficiency is that DEX doesn't add to your crit damage, so you'll need that to bring it up some (though you can of course choose to put the 10 points in Proficiency instead).

For an extreme EVA based PvP build, the Shadow Move buff would have to be maxed.

thanks for you guide but wont Malice works better than Wrath? because critical rating is what make CDmg occurs /Or with decent eqs and level, blader's hit is a sure to get critical hit even tho they dont have the help of Malice?

by the way how is Critical Rating counts as %chance to land critical hit as well as CDmg's?

A full DEX character with no outstanding equips will already have over 150 CRIT. Malice only gives +10.00 crit, which isn't even a third of the best possible critical sheathe stone (33). In comparison, Wrath's +30.00 is actually worth something (though if you get wrath, you might want to try to add a couple crit damage stones so you can bring your blader's c.dmg well past 100).

The stats like critical rating aren't actual percents. At 150, a blader will normally crit quite often, but in PvP you have to factor in the opponent's evade and critical evade as well.
