Leveling skills

[Zheme]

I used to play like 2 years ago and i remember having skills at like level 9 or 12.(when u add skill points). guides i checked kinda triggered that memory. But since i don't remember that much, why is it kept at 9 or 12? and why are some skills not and how do you know which to put to 9, 12 or 18 or 20? I usually see those number on guides. I remember it being for cool down but is that really why people don't max skills? and how do i know which skills to get, if i was to not check the guide.
thanks

Yes, It is for cooldown, usually to fit into a combo to work properly (ie.Stunlock). Depends on which class you are for what skills to get, you never specified it in your post.

oh sorry, im a force archer and i played on a private server as well and got to like 150 so had some experience but it was some time ago so i remember stuff but not 2 good.
and here is the archer guide i am using. http://forums.e-games.com.ph/index.php?showtopic=279

and btw why do people prefer lances/cannon(which is better out of them?) as part of their final attack skills. are they that good?

Lances are typically for dps (damage per second), while cannons can normally used out of combo. It depends on what situation you are in to use which moves. I recommend asking in the FA class discussion, Im not really an expert of FA.
