Usefulness of Skills

[The Legendary Joe]

RO is a pretty well built game, but there a few things here and there that make me go "What the crap? How is this supposed to be useful?"

The main thing bothering me right now is How is Star Gladiator's Union supposed to be helpful? I mean, yeah, you ignore defense and flee, but it eats up your HP so fast it's pretty much Suicidal. It's even worse if you try to use it against players, especially since they don't have anything really in the way of Burst damage, and the fact if your HP drops below 20% when attacking players, you die instantly.

Especially with gears and what not that has been implemented since they've been around, it feels like way too big a drawback considering that it can only be used when you have a soul Link
