Well, Considering there will be some flat and mobby places to train, maybe. BUT! notice how before BB torpedo has very significant growth with skill levels - 10% dmg per level with two +60% breakpoints, which also add a target (11,21). But look at the post BB table - very little growth (5% per level, no breakpoints of power), with targets going up after level 15 (5 levels of getting the skill) and 30 (10 levels of getting the skill). notice how also level 1 torpedo AFTER BB is STRONGER than MAX torpedo NOW (skill table may not be updated, I think torpedo might be even stronger). Personally I think you'll tear through mobs with just one level in it. heck, level 1 torpedo is stronger than max cannon on 3 monsters, even with the crits (according to skill table 2250% against 1500% with 20% extra chance to crit). I would advise against maxing torpedo before at least cannon and battleship (there are all the reasons in the world to max it straight after cannon, some people might consider doing it before with torp being so OP) and I'm not going to. Currently I have 12 points Into torpedo (well, tomorrow I'm going to have them.) ten of them are going to go towards counter attack and two towards other skills. Besides, I'm not the grinder type.
Which leads to my question. What skills are going to be worth my skill points post BB? I barely do any grinding, and my skill build is going to look like this:
Level 145, 78 points to divide:
30 Battleship cannon (48 left)
10 Battleship (38 left)
20 Bullseye (18 points left)
10 Counter Attack (8 points left)
1 Point into Torpedo, Rapid Fire, Elemental Boost, Wrath of the Octopi (4 points left)
Considering level 1 torpedo is very strong (somewhere between 755% and 850% to four targets?), level 10 battleship has 30 sec cooldown (very low RF time use, maybe battleship even has more durability), and 1 point in ele boost and wrath is pretty much a waste unless I actually MAX them, I have no idea what to choose. Air strike has a huge cooldown - 40 seconds at level 1! is that even useful for anything? Hypnotize is basically a skill for fun so the point could be a dump pretty much (I don't think it'll prove useful when killing BF at my level.) Or should I be even considering maxing MW?
