What the heck is mages bane good for?It barely does any damage compared to the others and the debuff for 50% channel speed i only a max of 8 secs.It does more damage than the newbie skills but the cost of one spark isn't worth it.And what about spirit chaser?that thing is just a weaker version of farstrike.its only a split second faster but other than that it wasa waste and i only got it so i could get atmos strike.

    Alot of these skills are old, and have not been updated to be brought up to speed like other skills have been. That said, they have the very specific and not very useful areas where they could work.

    Magebane, 100% accuracy. Anyone that has an evasion boost skill to survive is rendered useless. It's one of the reason I have berserk sword. 50% longer channeling. Good for mages that like to spam their one hit kill spells. Gives more time to spike em down, or just get out of range and make their cast fail. And if they are fond of coming out of stun with an insta-cast pot, 50% longer channel seems like a very nice debuff.

    As for spirit chaser....I dunno. Maybe they figured people would specialize and stick to a tree. I only used it because I liked the look of my sword more than my spear when doing FC runs. At least it looks neat.
    Fist are the worst at PvP AND PvE, if you disagree, as I said, take it to PM's or make your own guide. Go here if you want to debate about it. - Lyndura

    farstrike is better than spirit chaser but the point with getting both is that you'll have 2 ranged skills, which can be handy when you're dealing with freezing effect and runners.

    Sword tree is relatively weak also because there just aren't that many decent swords to use besides rank 8/Nirvana. Myriad Sword Stance is our most powerful attack, supposedly, but without a good sword, it's damage just isn't too good to waste too spark on. They either need to add better swords, or upgrade the skills for swords, i.e. giving it more useful effects like armor debuff or something.

    Myriad Sword Stance can be a life saver sometimes and can really hurt at times.

    go farm warsoul blade with -40% armour tear, with full interval gear it'll hit about 2.22 with cyclone; that'll bypass anyone in robe and light.

    oh also, magebane can be a life saver when a caster 3furies and uses an immune to stun pot/something similar
