Why would you work on Smart KnockBack so early? I, personally, don't see the point in it. At those levels, the monsters you're going to be training on will only have knockbacks of around 5,000, which you should be able to easily pull off at those levels. Would it be wise to switch around a skill like Fenrir in place of it? I'd love to see Fenrir in the build earlier than that. It seems more useful than a smaller knockback on mobs, considering it doesn't work on bosses (according to Aslemn).

If you've been to Windraiders, you'll know that keeping them knockbacked helps save pots in addition to Drain. Lowering the KB requirement enough so that you KB monsters with a normal attack will help greatly towards your pot usage. Of course you can leave SKB at whatever level it does that for and max everything else (except Whirlwind), but I highly recommend you do SKB after Full and Crit.
