1st, u cant only get flying stone book, u need the whole series max to get it
6 chain and smashing are both important for blader
for s/s i would say use 6 chain wif caution
smashing casts MUCH MUCH faster than 6 chain and higher chance to cast status (tested and proven), and also smashing 2sec cd compared to 6 chain 7sec
if u are s/s, dun use 6 chain if ur hp is below 50%, cuz its gonna take long to finish its move and b4 that, u may hv died cuz u cant used life saving skills eg. ghost walk/KD/ironwall
and abt the 6 chain status %, its not easy to get div/impotent/bleed fr 6 chain, if u look carefully at skill description, it says 20%
1 Time/times ( compare this to bow 5 hit KB u know wat i mean, bow KB is 5 Time/times , or even smashing 2Times/time)
so out of 6 hits,
only 3 hits will give status and the status are specific to that particular hit only, 20% eachits something like this when 6 hits is done on enemy:
no status - no status - no status - 20% bleed ONLY - 20% impotent ONLY - 20% division ONLY
hope this clears up abit abt ppl thinking out of all 6 hits have 20% of all status
20% bleed or impotent or division X 6 times (WRONG ~~~
