[Post-Revamp] What would you do for a Bandit build?

No, your association is incorrect. Steal gets COMPLETELY outclassed by BoT. More damage, hits more targets. BoT hits more targets than BS, but BS does more damage and stuns.

That wasn't data, that was an anecdote about how mob skill does not translate to SUPAR FAST LEVELZ. And no, 43-80 is by far the easiest part of part of being a Bandit, or at least it has been for as long as MS has existed. Until Cygnus Knights and etc came out, Savage Blow was THE strongest attack in 2nd job. People often associate Assassins with being fast levellers even though they don't have any mob skills. It escapes me why they ignore Bandits. Range hasn't been an issue since they started flooding us with crowded maps like MP3 and Windraiders.

Also, Bombing Elder Wraiths is pretty much the fastest solo exp in 7x in the game right now, but of course that won't be an option once we get this patch.

Using steal during 2nd job is faster than using savage blow, even if only for CPQ. Disregarding a strong mob skill just because it becomes obsolete in the future is poor logic. As for training speeds, it's been long known that bandits are the slowest 2nd job trainers. But you don't have to agree with me, I've started more than my fair share of bandits just to quit them because savage blowing my way to 70 is ridiculous.

Also, I'd like to add that you're disregarding steal in favor of savage blow because it does more damage despite hitting fewer targets, but you won't disregard BoT and steal in favor of boomerang step even though it does more damage but hits fewer targets. In case that was too cryptic, your dogma is self-contradictory and you're hypocrites.
