I did SE to 20 first, getting 1 FP at 120, 1 boost, 1 DB, 1 pierce (just for the effect) at 124 and 1 snipe at 126 or so, when I got the skill. now I'm adding Boost.
my reasoning has been to take into account the type of training I'm doing. while I was at newties, SE made it easier to get parties, and makes lower leveled archers/NLs pump out more damage, thus more exp; so I started raising that.
by the time I was 128, which is where I got 20 SE, I had enough hp to move to guardians. I don't see myself using pierce on them, at least with 2 second charge, since I can't tank the mace attack and they cant be frozen. So I started adding boost to make my AE damage better (plus I can't afford SE 30). The only time I use snipe here is when I'm moving from one side to the other, and it's already cooled down by then.
now I'm planning to get 26 Boost, then 21/30 pierce, and then max snipe. by keeping boost at 26, I can max snipe 1 level earlier, the 3 levels extra on pierce will depend on the training spots we have available and how much I like 21 pierce. also, I figure that getting pierce before snipe will make me get to the point of maxing both earlier. mobs are always better training than 1v1s.
I intend to keep DB at 1 for quite some time. if DB can't push a monster then that means there's at least 5 in my range, which is enough to be worthy of pierce IMO.
