I've seen two builds max Screw Punch by level 50 for an Infighter. If I want to be a cPQ hoar, is this a good idea? What about training? Magatia seems to have some nice new maps. ;D

It makes sense...

By 50, you have 61 points. The early essentials are 19 mastery, maxed hp increase, 6 booster, 1 backspin, 1 corkscrew

That's only 37 points, which still leaves 24. Corkscrew does the most damage out of any of your skills so it's logical to put 19 to that next. It also gets much better range as it goes up. Backspin still stuns, hits 3 and has its maximum range at level 1 so it can wait a little bit.

In CPQ, I'm often waiting for the monsters to respawn so I charge up corkscrew. As soon as it spawns, it's a high damage attack that helps form groups for backflip kick. I'd probably go 1 DU for a front-facing stun and the other 4 for backspin with the rest of the points but I'm only 42.

Get one of each and compare?

Not a good idea. MP Recovery is a max or none type of skill. In the long run, it saves a little bit of money once you use %-based potions. That's it. I defer to the higher level pirates for the usefulness of barrel :-P
