Plus, Energy Drain damages 1 monster but also drains the HP of that monster.
My advice: Max Energy Drain and leave Energy Buster at Lv. 21. Energy Buster at Lv. 21 is Damage 366% and hits 4 enemies. (Lv. 20 only 3 enemies).
In 4th job there is a similiar Energy Buster, it adds more % in damage and also hits more enemies and i'm talking about Energy Orb.
Why do you put Skill Points into Energy Drain at such a late stage? It's recommended to max Energy Drain right after you've maxed Energy Charge, Energy Buster can wait for a while, since you have other main skills to attack with.
I see no real use in Energy Drain. Sure, it may take away HP from a monster, similar to Drain, the Assassin skill, but when will you actually use it? You won't waste your time on a monster that you can just one hit KO anyways for a little bit more HP. That would be like a Crusader using Panic on a monster with less than 10% HP left. When you're training full-force, you're never going to remember, "Oh, I should cast Energy Drain so I can get more HP." In fact, I don't even use MP Recovery that much. Maybe I should be, but when training at high-traffic maps, such as Himes, you don't have the time to stop and cast that skill. It's a waste of time and effort, just like Dash.
