This is the build I followed:
1st job:
10: 3 Triple Blow, 1 Teleport, 1 Finish Attack
Max Triple Blow
Max Teleport
Max Dark Aura
Max Finish Attack
Level 1 Dark Aura does nothing unless you somehow have over 100 Magic Attack, so there's no point in getting it early except for the subtle effect. Battle Mages consume a ton of mana with their 1st job skills, so maxing Teleport early is a must. It's not just for pot costs. It is very annoying to pot every 5 seconds because you ran out of mana to Teleport. Max Dark Aura next, then Finish Attack. You won't be using Finish Attack much.
2nd job:
30: 1 Dark Chains, 1 Quad Blow, 1 Yellow Aura
5 Mastery
1 Booster
Max Mastery
+4 Booster (5)
Max Quad Blow
Max Yellow Aura
1 Blue Aura
Max Dark Chains
Max Booster
Max Blue Aura
3 Blood Drain
I haven't gotten Blood Drain yet (still level 5x) but it doesn't seem to matter much. I'd rather have the maxed Booster timer since it's so short already. Yellow Aura is much better than Dark Aura for training, in my opinion, although I'm 1hkoing EVERYTHING at my level since Quad Blow is so strong so I don't really need Dark Aura for anything. The extra speed is pretty helpful, and attacking at Faster (3) speed feels amazing. Everything else in this build is pretty self-explanatory, I think.
