Hey I checked up on the builds and personally I find the spearman guide to be rather lacking so I wanted to ask some questions to clarify some things. I will be referring to the guide in The Complete Warrior Guide as a reference. More specifically, Hybrid DK Build A: The Build is as follows: +30 Polearm Fury A1)+10 Elemental Resistance A2)+1 Spear Fury + 30 Spear Crusher (Fury for mobbing purposes with Spear) +3 Sacrifice B1)+30 Dragon Roar B2)+29 Spear Fury +10 Elemental Resistance + 8 to wherever Things I want to question on: 1st and foremost, why max Spear Fury? Is this implying that Hybrids arent as good as they were cracked up to be? I for one went Hybrid to level faster with PA Fury, and I see the mobbing purposes to Spear Fury but not maxed? 2nd, I hear sacrifice was used as a KB measure, is that not true anymore? 3rd, do DKs every really use Dragon Roar other than to KS people? Ive heard from many places its rarely used unless for show. 4th, with the extra points would it be killer to put it in Iron Will? Everyone knows Power Crash is useless and I figure if I am ever soloing, why not? 5th, is PA Fury even used in later levels on skeles and newties? ToT? I am currently a lvl 63 Spearman and was wondering if there is any better place to train than STDs that isnt too hard on pots. I find MP3 and Voodoos to be rather challenging atm for lack of KB and using HP pots. FoG would be good money if I actually stayed there I guess but is there anything else?

1.Spears are somewhat predominant in 4th Job,mid-high level Dark Knights usually use 2 Crushers and 1 Fury to kill their Skeles,Fury is faster than Crusher and thus makes training faster. 2.With Berzerk,Sacrifice kind of lost its use as a KB Skill since Crusher can usually achieve the KB needed for most things. 3.Dragon Roar is a useful Skill for junk hunting,Event Item hunting and stuff like that,it can also be used to lure if you train at Typhoons. 4.Iron Will just sucks,not much I can say about it,Power Crash has its uses like for the CWKPQ Warrior Boss' Atk buff,which could be relatively deadly. 5.Dark Knights shouldn't really go to Newties,at Skeles,Crusher is used more often than Fury but the Mini-Dungeon has a lot of spawn and makes Fury pretty good too,I don't know much about Temple though.

Wow so Power Crash is actually useful? How much damage does it reduce? DR is basically just a fun skill to have then. Is Sacrifice good in 3rd job at all?

Power Crash doesn't reduce damage. It takes away a Power buff from the mob. As goes for Sacrifice, I'm only at lv80 but I don't see myself using it. I'm not well-funded, but new equips and new mobs make it easier to KB something. Looking at eva's answer, I'm thinking you're gonna have a LOT of points left over for whatever you want. I'm pretty sure I stuck with LMPQ to level until about 67, then I went to MP3. It's a decent moneymaker if you're not well funded too.
