[1.2.328] Battlemages get their spotlight

Is Whirlwind bad for you? o_o

I know I've played a few jobs where the 2nd/3rd job skills were entirely useless, or hindered you, but they've mostly eliminated that. Archers used to stick leftover 2nd job SP into Focus to avoid getting Final Attack, but Final Attack is good now. (Some) Bandits used to stick leftover 2nd job SP into Nimble Body and even Keen Eyes because Steal was worthless, but that's not the case any more.

I don't see Steal gaining any real value, even with the mobbing potential. Unless you priotitize it over SB (Lolwut) you won't get it till late 2nd job anyways, and BoT easily replaces it.

That being said, I have 29 steal and went and maxed dark sight. Steal isn't an auto activate skill, so I doubt so many people would go back and put points into a fully useless skill. Most Dits/CBs/Shads I see have Steal, just don't have it set to a hotkey and never use it.
