Blade Dancer is one of my first classes and a lot of fun too.
SKILL TREE
The build i have as of now is the below (subject to change)
You can always switch it around if you feel like whilst doing PVP or dungeons and raids, nevertheless that was my build and worked great on leveling and PVE.
GEAR
In regards to what gear you should use Leather.
For weapons i went with a 2Handed GreatSword, a Bow and Flute.
Leather set increase Evasion +3% and the range for all bow attacks skills by 3m
It provides both Physical and Magic Defence equally splitted,
It a balances set.
It also increases your Ranged Skill damage as you can see on the second picture.
As far as weapons go, as i mentioned before i went with 2Handed.
Equiping 2handed weapon increases your Damage, Melee skill range, Shield Defense Penetration rate and reduces cast time.
