ShiKage's Big Bang Paladin Build

In the long run, ACB and GS are the only mob attacks you'll use, and Blast has always replaced PS, so it doesn't matter what happens to 1st job attacks and Improved Fundamentals.

Unlike GS which hits fewer targets (and thus has one single disadvantage compared to SB), ACB is better in every imaginable way. Once you have it, you... won't use SB.

Wait, what? Ground Smash and Slash Blast are completely useless once you even get Charge Blow, since it no longer kills the charge. There's absolutely no use for Slash Blast or Ground Smash once you have Charge Blow. lol

Ground Smash is really good enough at level 1, in my opinion. Really, it's all preference in how you train.
