Decided to make a M.Ranger (purely for OC inspirational purposes) and I stole Moo's Ranger build (because I hate asking for a build every time I make a new character) but according to DualReaver, Air Raid should be maxed? Moo's build has it at 1. Which is preferred? Talking about this, by the way.

Air Raid doesn't have to be maxed. That's pure preference. It's fixed damage as well and doesn't scale all too well. In testing out level 1 Air Raid versus level 16 Air Raid at Verderia, I didn't notice much of an increase in damage. It's not really all that useful in dungeons since there's not much a use of sliding around with Windmill. It's a definite max for PvP though. Other than that, it's personal preference. I mean I only put one level in it for escape purposes. If something's gonna beat the crap outta me with its Super Armor, I'd rather fly up and shoot myself backwards and away. Sure, it's true that Air Raid can do decent damage at max, but once you're in the air there isn't much you can do after that. Some people have cited Aerial Fire as a good follow up after Air Raid, but seriously, the damage that comes out from even max Aerial Raid isn't that great and there are better filler moves.
