Confused About Dual Blade Skills
Alright, so a little backstory ([i]completely optional, skip ahead if you want[/i] ): I made my Dual Blade a long time ago off a free 'Level 50 Dual Blade' coupon I got way back when, leveled him twice, then went on to different characters. After I decided to go back onto him recently and train him up a little out of boredom, I discovered I could job advance a lot earlier... so basically, I just did my Dual Blade's job advancement now. I'm Level 54 now, and I'm genuinely curious about my SP distribution--I've checked several guides, but none of them coincide with each other or are even exactly clear on what should be maxed and what shouldn't.
This is [url=http://i.imgur.com/zidFXyk.png]my current SP build[/url], and for some reason, it just feels so... wrong, so I have a couple questions.
1) Roughly how many SP should I have at Level 54 ([i]currently at 141, 129 of which are spent[/i] ); do I have too few for where I'm at?
2) Are there any skill builds or guides that you'd recommend using? I've found four, but none of them are consistent.
3) What skills are required to be maxed for later jobs? I know of Dark Sight, Katara Mastery and Slash Storm, but I'm not sure of anything else.

@Gregorius: Flashbang doesn't require a book anymore. But you will need Shadow Meld and Mirror Image still. And while the [url=http://www.basilmarket.com/MapleStory-Guide-Dual-Blade-Guide-438.html]DB guide[/url] on basil is outdated, the SP guide off it it is still good (in my opinion at least).
[quote=xblueskies]^ pretty much she said. I don't know if you noticed, but flying assaulter, slash storm, and other skills (I cant think off the top of my head) needs mastery books and probably why you would have excess SP. Just fyi, you need to max those skills before you can job advance :x
I can ss my db's sp build once maple's up
edit: nvm, i see your slash storm at lv 20 :o[/quote]
Yeah, since I made them with a special coupon, as a bonus, I also got Special Mastery Books for every non-fourth job skill that requires books... so I've got books for Flashbang, Shadow Meld and Mirror Image as well ([i]having already used the ones for Slash Storm and Flying Assaulter[/i] ).

Can't really answer number 1 since I don't know the answer.
For skill builds, all I can say is when you get to 4th job adv., you should have everything but Bandit Slash and Fatal Blow maxed. Those 2 skills can be left at 5.
