This is a rather noob question next to all the 4th job discussion, but I'm new to mages. I'm making an I/L and wondering what skills are most important to max. Right now I'm in the process of maxing Lightning; that's a given. I'm also going to max Teleport for sure. But I don't know which of these skills to drop:
Cold Beam
MP Eater
Slow
Meditation
I was thinking Cold Beam, since there are enough places in 2nd job where I can just spam Lightning to level up, but then I did some research and couldn't find any builds that supported that. Does Cold Beam ever become completely replaced? My next choice would probably be Meditation, but for some reason Slow was the skill that was most frequently dropped. Slow works on bosses, correct? It seems pretty useful to me.
