I also took FA several years ago in 2nd job, so now I'm considering a 10 thrust, 15 eagle, 21 blizzard, max everything else build while dumping the leftover points into booster and/or SA.
How useful is eagle once you get frostprey? I already pretty much never train on things that aren't freezable (except sharks, but eagle's completely unneeded there...) Is there any serious drawback to this build that I'm not seeing? Also, no, I'm not resetting points out of FA to fix it that way instead. If I had NX, I'd HP wash way before I bothered with that.
Did everyone forget about those little Gobies?
You can't expect much when you're at a map where 13x+ characters benefit more there.
Anyway, your build is fine. I have 21 Eagle and 9 Thrust and I'd probably take points out of Eagle to put into Thrust or max Blizzard for the tiny amount of extra damage.
Lv1 Frostprey makes Eagle completely useless. Only time you'd think of summoning Eagle is if you're at a place with unfreezable monsters. Which basically never happens. Or doesn't happen enough to make it worthwhile.
