I'm a ninja, and personally, I love gripping, (I just REALLY suck at it.) But...I like basic too, because I have this thing I do where I left-click, left-click, right-click, and it stuns you, and I just do that over and over, (and ocassionally throw in a special). The only time I really use grip is if someone misses their grip. :cool: So yeah, I dunno. I'm kind of at a split decision here. But...for blacksmith, I would put all my points into grip, because that frontal grip can be devastating. Have fun.
