Pure 1 Handed Swordsman Build DPS/Tank

COMBOS
Combo 1: Best for Boss, Weak with Demon Gate= 100 MP
Astute > Hard Hit (Consecutive) > Spiral Air (Consecutive) > Sonic Blade (Consecutive) > Trigger Slash (Consecutive)

Combo 2: Best for Farming = 200 MP
Sonic Blade > Spiral Wind (Smite) > Trigger Slash (Consecutive)

Combo 3: Best for Demon Gate = 300 MP
Spiral Wind > Astute (Consecutive) > Sonic Blade (Consecutive) > Trigger Slash (Consecutive)

Notes:

- Always save 200 MP to easily escape aoe attacks from bosses such as Demon Gate and Boss Roga by using Sonic Blade.
- I still haven't reached 75 because I really lack time so I'm very sorry but I'll update as soon as I'm 70
- Trigger Slash is very important if its placed in the end of combo because, as you can see, there's no way to get Natural Regen MP unless if Survival Skills is used but it would make your character weaker. Since this is a DPS/Tank build, launching a lot of hits and gaining MP is a no problem.
- Also since we are not using MP Boost from Survival Skills, MP +100 Xtal is very important here.
- This is a pure 1 Hand build so Combos and Skills may vary with DW/1h builds
