Can anyone tell me what the differences with these skills are for AW?
1) Backstab / Deadly Blow
They seem to be the same except that Deadly Blow looks more powerful, costs less mp, and doesn't have to be executed from behind an oponent. As both can cause a lethal strike according to the library section, then Deadly Blow is the better choice?
2) Bleed / Sting
The only real difference seems to be that Sting can be used to over-hit, so Sting every time then?
3) Silent Move / Veil / Trick
They all appear to do the same thing - stop aggro mobs attacking you. Is there some difference between them that makes sense to have three skills doing more or less the same thing?
Silent Move-Lets you walk past aggroing mobs without being aggroed
Veil-Stops aggroed mob from attacking you-Peace
Trick-Switches a mob thats attacking you onto someone else
As for the other skills I cant remember off the top of my head :P
Backstab does more dmg then Deadly Blow, thus its MP Cost is higher. Also an 'Instant Kill' is possible with it if you read the skill description. Instant Kill is not the same as Lethal Strike.
Sting does initial dmg when used, and a medium chance to land.
Blees does no dmg when used, and a high chance to land because of it.
Point 3 has been answered (I think I just forgot how to spell it oO) for you.
Silent Move-Lets you walk past aggroing mobs without being aggroed
Veil-Stops aggroed mob from attacking you-Peace
Trick-Switches a mob thats attacking you onto someone else

Ah ok, so Trick is basically the same as Confusion.
This all makes more sense now. Thanks to everyone who replied :)

To elaborate a bit:
Silent move allows you to simply run past mobs without getting attacked, but only you yourself. Other party members won't be protected.
Veil allows you to make an aggro mob (which is not attacking yet) passive for a short time. It won't attack anybody, but it will still react when one of its buddies gets attacked. So this is what you would use to "pave the way" for your party members. Silent move, use veil on the aggro mobs until the skill lands on all of them, then the rest of the party walks past, too. I don't think it works on a mob which is already attacking you.
Trick allows you to make a mob which is already attacking you either a.) passive again (when nobody else is near) or b.) attack somebody else (e.g. if you are in a party). So if you are running along somewhere and get attacked by a mob, you can use this to get rid off the mob.
