also whats better lion shout or blade force?
I think i can answer this question:
You need to get less hits than a glavie or blader character, since you have less HP. This makes the Knockdown series very usefull. I would use this one and the combined one, as well! (Those are the most annoying skills in SRO!!! And there is a reason for that!^^)
Lion shout is maybe effective, too, but since you have only a shot ammount of time between most attacks this may not fit in your strategy often, because you can start other more effective skills in that time. (might still be a finishing solution, but i am not sure about that one)
Now I come to the main part of your question:
How to use the stats.... very well... this is complicated and depends pretty much on what you like, but i would follow a certain guideline, since i feel sword-users differ a lot. YOU have to like your character, NO ONE ELSE has to. So you should do the stats as you wnat, but don't go fast, because you really have to know what you are doing. I started a sword char as well recently, but i am still farming, for propably 2 more months. I will propably go on a 2str/5int hybrid, since i fell safer with more HP, even if i dont have the hellcracking damage.
I hope i was a little help.
