It might just be me because my gear is above average, but from what my other friends have also said, laser training will never surpass training in prototype mode just due to the fact of how mobile you can be in proto mode. You're much much stronger in tank mode, but you can't move as fast and you therefore lose more exp. Unless the map is extremely small and laser can cover the whole thing (or you're party training and your laser does the entire platform), I can never see tank training beating proto training
The way I see it
- Extreme mech: #1 skill. After this, nothing much more is needed to train effectively to 200
- Tank: Bossing skill
- Laser: Zak arms + HT main fight + attacking something with multiple parts
- Satelite Safety: The absorb damage part is garbage. Only good thing for this skill is extra damage on satelite
- Giant Robot SG-88: Casts extremely slow but can clear out giant mobs. More or less a fun skill and should only have 1 point into it until high 17x+
- Bots n Tots: Unless you're taking a small portion of the map, this to me is just additional bossing damage and doesn't really help training
- Amplifier: Bossing
- Robot mastery: Good to get amplifier pass the 90 sec CD. Is useful if you train with accelerator so you don't have to cast it as often. Otherwise extra damage is just useful for bosses
- Maple warrior: Same old same old, depends on your situation. This is the only skill that will actually improve your training speed relative to any other 4th job skill. But if you party train or use a bishop HS mule, you may have it already via those means
