felix, i assume you're 17X, at least. which means that most of what you say about training comes from the fact that things you point your character at dies within a fraction of a second.
Rangers can't say that, and most BM's can't either, as for some reason we get stuck in the 12X~13X range.
I don't use inferno while training at newts, nor at skeles. the mobs simply don't form large enough to do that. at himes, i ABUSE inferno, it's my primary attack skill. and at peak you can get a mob of 8+ easy if you can't decimate with hurricane (like most 14X there, they have a bit of trouble with all the nests at the bottom, and have to resort to DB+puppet+inferno combos or DB+puppet+bomb to aid with mob support, hurricane will NOT suffice and will cause deaths.)
inferno WILL be invaluable at ice temple, along with phoenix, which is currently almost worthless. inferno is good for questing, along with AR. AR itself doesn't see much use in 4th job, it mainly gets used as a lure. only place i actually use AR to kill is vikings when i'm doing the soul collector quest cause it's right beside pap =P
i'm kind of an in-the-fray type bowmaster, but i still think i play different than you. i utilize DB+puppet on anything past mob size 3, and inferno on anything 5 or higher (only peak or himes). AR scares me for training, i hate it for that, and wonder why on god's green earth everyone recommends it. it's useful before your end game training spots, but that's about it. it's only good for ~30 levels...
oh and MB has killed me more often than it's saved me. go figure that one out.
