Blade arrows are traps down the right of the Traps skill tree. Like all traps, blade trap skills are situational in that every skill has its uses, strengths and weakness. Blade traps deserve some special attention for two reasons: they are dependent on the physical and elemental damage of your assassin's primary katar and they are capable of transmitting the following effects:
Because of these special properties, blade traps do not receive nor give synergies to any other skills.

According to RogueMage's Blade Fury Guide, here's what Blade Fury does in a nutshell:
Blade Fury acts in every respect like a ranged weapon. This means that its Crushing Blow damage is half that of a melee weapon...
Blade Fury's 25% reduction in your weapon's total damage works exactly like Strafe and Multiple Shot. It has the same effect on both physical damage and elemental weapon damage. It does not, however, reduce the duration of poison, chill, or freeze effects.
