Energy Drain

I've been thinking about that happy medium thing i mentioned earlier...the problem is that both blast and shockwave % increases per point are pretty steep. The best thing i could get is level 17 drain, 27 blast, and 27 shockwave. The problem is that you're doing 45% less damage per monster with 27 shockwave (-270%), but with blast you're losing 18% per monster (72% in total).

Should we take a tad bit more out of blast...? It's probably ditched after you get 1 orb, while drain is probably ditched for it's damage in fourth with barrage and DS. What about splitting the 9 points from blast and drain with a majority of them going toward whatever one thinks is more useful?

How about shockwave is gey and I can't believe I put any points in it at all . Honestly though, I think shockwave is to useless to have it maxed. Maybe i should AP reset shockwave for oak barrel (this is a joke btw).

What good is shockwave for anything? The only thing I can think of is when you're 4th job at gobis, you demo a gobis house to OHKO, then you kill all 6 gobi with shockwave. Other than that I'm not really sure. LvL 21 will work with that.
