Just the speed increase from 30 - 51 (at CPQ) is worth it. It's not like BoT automatically hits 5 targets for its max damage; I don't even get why it goes down in damage whenever it gains an increase in # of monsters hit, no other mob skills do it.
I made two ring mules this month. The first one was a Bandit (lol my 3rd one). The secoond one was a Page. On my Bandit, I followed the original 19 Mastery -> 21 SB -> a few Booster -> max SB build. On my Page, I maxed Mastery, added some Booster and then Threaten. Both characters did a mix of Kerning Square and max Rombot TW CPQ from 35->50. The Bandit levelled significantly faster, even though it couldn't mob, just because SB is that strong. I just really don't see the need for Steal, especially with the easier levelling.
I was referring to max BoT when I said that it replaced Steal, but with the new changes BoT can replace Steal at level 1, so all the more reason to leave Steal unmaxed.
Also, I don't see any changed mob data for CPQ. I dunno what they're planning on doing to it, but who's to say that it'll still be the fastest way to level?
