New Stuff
Dual Swords-
resembling the assasin's daggers, these are two swords which are used for forward and off hand attacks.

Doublecut-
this is not a skill type but a hidden ability of the dual swords. Characters using the dual swords have a 10% chance to perform what's known as a Doublecut. A Doublecut allows the character to perform two strikes with their weapon at once but inflict 5 less damage. (so using a dual sword a warrior could strike for 15 damage, but dual strikes so instead inflicts 20 damage)

Dance-
A dance is a type of skill which allows the character to either perform high speed consecutive attacks or some other special effect. Dances are the strongest form of attack that the Wraithdancer has. This skill cannot be used with dual swords. *thinking about allowing the use of daggers as well with 50% effectiveness, but decided that'd be a little weird*

Quickstrike-
A type of attack skill that can only be used effectively in concert with dances. The Wraithdancer's secondary means of attack, this allows the dancer to use his movements to their fullest and commence very high speed but rather weak attacks on a single target. This skill requires dual swords to use.

Attributes
Flexibility- (primary attribute)
for every point in this attribute, dances and quickstrikes move 1% faster. For every two points in this attribute, Wraithdancers have an additional 2% to make a Doublestrike.
Fluid Swords-
improves the damage, critical hit ratio, and overall power of dual swords and quickstrikes.
Fluid Movements-
improves the damage of Wraithdancer's dance skills.
Pure Body-
improves the effectiveness of skills and stances that allow the Wraithdancer to dodge or block attacks and heal themselves.

Percieved Weaknesses: (thought I'd give you my two cents on the CC's less obvious weaknesses)
* Very weak against individual opponents
* Weak against high defense high damage foes (like turtles in aspenwood and tanks)
* Weak against high levels of physical damage
* Weak against monk characters which can both block and self heal quickly
* Weak against necromancer type hexes and skills.
* Weak against AoE effects

Percieved Strenghts:
* Strong against ranged opponents, high dodge capabilities using dances and stances
* Strong against mobs
* Strong against low damage short ranged casters and fighters (paragons and assasins)
* strong against high energy spirit spammers

Notice that these assumptions are made considering the existing skill set. It's possible to change it either way on this build.
