[QUOTE="Shadow_Tickle, post: 5703201, member: 6683558"] Hi guys, Thank's to all your help, I finally managed to get the level 20 version of my guy statted out or at least went through his maneuvre selection. Here's a list of his final maneuvres & stances at Swordsage 20: Desert Wind: Inferno Blade, Wyrm's Flame. [B]Stances:[/B] Flame's Blessing, Fiery Assault. Diamond Mind: Time Stand's Still, Diamond Nightmare Blade, Quicksilver Motion, Greater Insightful Strike Moment of Alacrity, Mind Over Body, Action Before Thought, Moment of Perfect Mind. [B]Stances: [/B]Hearing the Air Setting Sun: Comet Throw, Baffling Defense, Shadow Hand: Shadow Blink, Strike in the Night, Shadow Blade Technique. [B]Stances:[/B] Child of Shadows, Dance of the Spider, Balance on the Sky or Step of the Dancing Moth. Stone Dragon: Mountain Tombstone Strike, Irresistable Mountain Strike, Bone Crusher. Tiger's Claw: Feral Death Blow, Swooping Dragon Strike, Rabid Bear Strike, Death from Above, Sudden Leap. Please take a look and tell me what you think. [U]Two points in Particular regarding level 20: [/U]At 20, I am planning on trading one of either Rabid Bear Strike, Death from Above or Moment of Perfect Mind for another technique.[B] Just need some help as to which one[/B] ;). I would like a good boost, to make use of duel boost feature at level 20. Also I am not completely sold as to whether I should take the Stance: Balance on the Sky here or something else like Step of the Dancing Moth or any other stance like the one that increases your size in regards to damage. (Needed to take Fiery Assault at Level 14 to meet pre-reqs.) Any Advice? Random Notes: 1) I liked the idea of being able to Counter/Save anything that I was prepered for but I am still thinking a bit on Moment of Perfect Mind. 2) Tiger's Claw came in a sudden landslide near the end. 3) Mountain Tombstone Strike has no Pre-reqs? A level 9 maneuvre? [/QUOTE]
