That's actually kind of where I'm running into problems.
I feel like I'm in a unique situation to do something completely stupid with almost no repercussions because within a few months (at the most) I'll be given a complete skill reset. So why not play around with something besides the status quo? Especially because with the Vanilla MS we are currently playing experience is ridiculously easy to grab. A worse skill build will net me more exp now than a better build months ago.
Not trying to go for the skip training to go for bossing route at all though. My current train of thought is more in line with trying to make shockwave a viable skill. If I go with Super Transform right out of the gate then within a few levels I'm at shockwave is useable 2/3rds of the time. At max sxform it's 3/4 of the time. The time you aren't in xform or sxform you have blast to fall back on, nothing when you are not in charge, xform,sxform though which will happen a fair amount.
My main concerns are about how SW is limited by certain types of maps and where do I go with the build after sxform is maxed. Dropping drain isn't a huge concern for me because it is something I can correct later on once we get resets and i adopt a different build.
Going somewhat hybrid with this option is something I was just considering as well. Get sxform to 8 to give it a 360 second cooldown. So I go transform -> sxform -> cd, on repeat each lasting 2 mins. Just to give my 4th job training a quick boost so I'm not playing around with a less useful DS for as many levels. Puts the overall skill build back 3 levels and once again I drop Drain.
Idk, just a few thoughts I've been kicking around. Not dedicated to anything yet.
