Corkscrew blow and backspin blow At lvl 30, there are plenty of guides saying to put at least 1 into 1 of these skills. Which one should I put it into? And which one should I max first? And are those guides correct, or should i max hp inc first?

Anyone who says people who put a point in either skill are HP hungry, and it isn't important to be. Put it in backspin, speed up your training.

I put my 1st point into Backspin Blow. I chose it because it helped stun the monster so I can kick the crap out of them before they're able to move again.

A melee attack eliminates the stun status. Cork would give you a bit of invincibility, which would serve that purpose better. Still backspin'd probably be a better choice due to the damage. I've been saved by a few HP, I wouldn't take a point out of HP at first for the life of me. Yeah, I'm HP hungry. EDIT: I would max out cork before BSB, in fact I'd leave out BSB until after DU even. Cork can be charged down-jumping, moving between mobs, etc, and it gives invincibility. +It's nice for the damage crowd ^-^

With cork, it doesn't push them far enough so what ends up happening if the mosnter is too fast that it will run straight into you, screwing up the nice mob cork created. With backspin, this isn't much of a problem, plus the range and damage is much more manageable. It's pretty much unanimous that CSB is WAYYYYYYYYYYYY better than backspin in terms of maxing things goes, this is just about the difference between the two with only 1 point. @ above: No.

I got revved up again since it sounds like bone crunching. I'd say backspin for the stun.

Which monsters are you talking about that would do this? Lol sometimes cork would push a monster twice its range, it was a glitch or something. I think it only happened at nightmares. funfun. And yay, Cork FTW :D
