I used Magic Arrow Lv3, Wind Arrow Lv3, Freezing Arrow Lv3 to train
skill rank. These three skills (at Lv3) just nice to make perfect
combo (Read my CabalSEA - Cabal Online - Guide - Combo Mode
to know more). And of course, magic is ranged and low damage, which
mean it will be able to train faster compared with sword skills. As you
know, I never punch. Without premium around 7 minutes could have one
level up. All you need is patience and do well in Combo =)

* Updated at 23 June, 2008 *
Starting, I train my Magic Rank to A Master before training Sword Rank.
Reasons: Stronger buffs from Earth Guard, Wind Movement, Aqua Vitality,
Lightning Blade. But of course, this make your sword skill weaker (just
thinking for late game, and need patience).
After Magic Rank get to A Master. I buy the Change Force (Magic to
Sword) from Port Lux (required at least Level 50). Temporary will stop
ranking up Magic, but use combo with Magic Arrow Lv3, Wind Arrow Lv3,
Freezing Arrow Lv3, to train Sword Rank until Completer. When your
Assassinate skills get to Level 9, you could remove the Change Force
and train back your Magic Rank to Transcender. And lastly, train your
Sword Rank to Transcender.
Upgrade Skills (Updated at 7 June, 2008)

HP -> Vitality Mastery (Transcender)
Defense1 -> Defensive Sense (Transcender)
Defense2 -> Damage Absorb (Transcender)
Attack1 -> Offensive Sense (Transcender)
Attack2 -> Impact Control (Transcender)
Defense Rate2 -> Sixth Sense (Transcender)

* You could get Change Force while training for skill rank before
getting Defense Rate2, or Attack1 and Attack2 if you don’t have extra
slot. Defense way more important than Attack while training skill Rank.
Well, you can actually don’t follow my style. Just learn what you like.
Now, my PvP.
Item

Amulet of Guard + X
Ring of Critical + X
Epaullet of Fighter/Guard + X
Whole Armor Set (+ Sword Amp% or Crit Rate/Damage or +HP)
Blade & Crystal (+ Critical Rate/Damage)

Basically, items go for Attack (Sword Amp % & Critical Rate/Damage), Defense, HP.
Suggested OSM Armor set (Updated 26 June, 2008)

OSM Armor Suit +7 Double Slot Sword Amp / HP
OSM Armor Helm +7 Double Slot Deathblow / Critical Damage
OSM Armor Boots +7 Double Slot Sword Amp / HP
OSM Armor Gloves +7 Double Slot Sword Amp / Deathblow

Stats: (Updated 26 June, 2008)

STR: 283
INT: 227
DEX: REST

STR 283 is just nice for OSM Armor Suit+7 set. Unless you are rich
enough to get Tera Double slotted or Deathblow Tera, otherwise I still
suggest you to get OSM Armor +7 Set with Deathblow and Sword Amp.
Why DEX instead of STR? It is just because DEX gives more points compared to STR for Force Blader.





Buff

Earth Guard Lv20
Wind Movement Lv20
Aqua Vitality Lv20
Lightning Blade Lv20
Resist Intension Lv20

Combo 1(High HP opponent)

Force Assault Lv20
Force Slash Lv20
Assassinate Lv9
Infernal Impact Lv9
Infernal Stigma Lv18

Combo 2 (Ranged, Low HP opponent)

Assassinate Lv9
Infernal Impact Lv9
Infernal Stigma Lv18
Force Kick Lv9(Stand by)
Abyssal Crystal Lv18(Stand by)
Excration Lv20(Stand by)

Dash and fadestep is needed (see situation). Fadestep is effective for sometimes (let your opponent lose target)
While Combo missed (mistakes or lagged), you could try to Fadestep, Excration, Abyssal Crystal, Force Kick, continue your Combo.
Reason why I remain some skills at Lv9/Lv18, is the cool down wise.
My PvE (Updated 08 July 2008, thanks wearamakals)

Assassinate Lv9
Infernal Impact Lv9
Infernal Stigma Lv19*

* Updated. Infernal Stigma can add to Level 19
As simple as you think, I just used these 3 skills for PvE. Reasons?
Easier to make the combo long, because you need only three fingers.
And the other fingers is just nice for Dash, Pots, or something.
Yet, the Assassinate Lv9, Infernal Impact Lv9 had the highest damage
output, while Infernal Stigma Lv18 could have 80% chance to stop mobs
for 8 seconds. It helps you from tanking a lot. I am able to solo
tanking / leveling in Ruina Station at Level88 with these skills =)
I will post some Cool Down information when I free, and of course, if you requested =)
This is the very first version of my Force Blader Guide. Stay tuned for update
Any question, suggestion, comments, welcome! Thanks.
