Best Combos?+ other lvl 4 questions

In your opinion, what’s the best combos to use to maximize shining sword damage in a party?
Do you find storm reaper useful? Description says....”increase the damage of the next short ranged attack” meaning if I ended a combo with storm reaper and started off a Next combo with impact > shining sword...would shining sword get the damage boost buff or impact?

Is saber aura worth the sp? It looks really cool but the hp 50% at the end isn’t putting me off. What are the benefits and will you die as much as I think one will die if using it?

 

for all the skill info kindly go to this thread: https://toramonline.com/index.php?threads/skill-tree-list-level-170.37578/

if we're just talking about solely on maximizing the damage of it, this is one of the combo for it:
impact>storm reaper (smite/swift)>shining cross (smite)>shadowstep (consecutive)
BUT this combo is only effective when your character is behind the wall, because storm reaper backstep is 8m away.

in my opinion yes it is useful, and for your 2nd question, it is a NO, if you use any skill even if its impact or any buff skill while the storm reaper buff is active, the buff will be gone.

depends on your reference, if you got a ton amount of mp or ampr, this buff is good for you, don't forget to read the thread i link above this, you will know all the buff effects on there.
