Just wondering about which skills are most important.

Also im starting to have second thoughts about using polearms. They are fun and but im starting to have second thoughts about it and considering axes more. This leads me to my second question, Is it to late to go axes? im level 47 with 133 str, 45 vit, and 65-70ish dex( cant remember off the top of my head). I mainly pve atm but want to start pvp later on and the only 2 skills i have leveled for the pole arm path is the lvl 29(its at lvl 2) and the farstrike(lvl1).

Also is it bad i have roar of pride at lvl 3 at this level?

    erm okay although i am lower lvl than you but i can tell you that going pvp is not a good thing for Axe bms. and since you have gone with pole arm, i suggest you stick with it cause your build i already pole arm and you will need a lot of adjustment. well i already calculated mine when i was 30++ and i realise it needs a lot of lvls. i am a sword BM btw.your skills dont really matter as long as you find that you have enough yourself. for example roar of pride is a good skill for TW but in pvp it dont really do much as it stuns only one guy. this is an aoe TW skills for supporting and stunning your opponents while your team attacks them. anyway pole arm is good, axe is merely what most people choose cause of fast grinding at high lvls. so is really up to you early in the lvls to choose but i would not advice you to change right now

    I'm not a pole user but if I were to take a guess, the single most important skill for pole in my opinion is Farstrike. It's chi less, powerful and ranged all at the same time.

    i am also not a pole user myself...i am an axe build...and i reccomend that you level your pole mastery ASAP as it really does give you a big bonus! however, only do this if you are going to stick to poles, as otherwise you will have wasted a lot of SP...and it is not too late to become an Axe BM, just buy some reset scrolls...please be aware that this will cost about 500k!

    Hmm well atm i have almost enough sp to buy the axe tree skills thats equivalent to what i have in the pole tree. Also the reset scrolls wont be all that hard to get. i can buy one off my friends or worse comes to worse just buy zen.

    for poleblades your most important skills are farstrike and meteor rush. They allow for easy killing of physical mobs, though for magical mobs meteor rush isn't always necessary.

    and farstrike is really fun for pvp. Love to see people freeze me, think they can run, and get shot down by farstrike
