Herborist Wrote: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.
You clearly haven't trained right, then. CPQ is fast for a bandit with Savage Blow, and in GMS, a lot of people train on Gryphons 50-60. What does Steal do? Stun. What does stun do? Make flying monsters fall. Savage Blow wins out. Hoodoos/Voodoos only spawn in mobs of 4, and they're not in Steal range. Savage Blow wins out. Trying to mob Windraiders with a 220% mob skill is lol. Past that, it's BoT to 125.
EDIT : Bentuar, I'm not discounting Steal as completely useless, it's just not worth maxing when compared to other options.
