For example, we may see some Strafeless Windbreakers, or some Windbreakers who don't have either Magnum Shot or Wind Shot.1 strafe builds seem to be the most logical here. We all know you can effectively train to a relatively high level with just Arrow Rain in third, and with windreavers getting Rain maxed substantially faster (and already having a damage boost to boot) they'll be able to take advantage of these areas for longer periods (in particular, I'm writing that sentence with Red Nosed pirate's den 2 in mind). Level 1 strafe will easily replace Double Shot.
The other thing I would definitely advocate is saving 20 points before hitting 100 so you can max Hurricane immediately. This not only allows you to get maximum usefulness out of it, but keeps you from working on pointless skills. It should be quite easy for me to reach 71 with CPQ2 so I guess I'll be the guinea pig for Windbreaker 3rd job too :p
