Soul blade replaces those two, and it should. Its a far better attack and is needed for early training. for a close range class, you need that range from Soul Blade early on.
if you maxed it last, there are about 4 levels where it does more damage than max slash blast. i would argue that 26-29 is easy enough to skip ps in favor of maxing the sprite and getting some iron body since at 30 you totally replace ps.
why wouldnt this work? you dont use powerstrike. why get it? its crap without mastery. at least sb outputs up to 6 hits so you can go for an average dps. ps will randomly output 1 unstable hit.
its the same situation as fire arrow for the flame mage. if you look at the build on the similar thread, it isnt on there because there are better mob skills to get. a single target skill is crap in comparison to the training speed mob skills provide.
