You really don't need AL. Yes you burn mp, but the sp could be put into chasers or skills. You also shouldn't be spamming chaser launcher in dungeons(unless in outer). I wouldn't recommend maxing a cube skill besides Teana or Supersword because they scale pretty terribly. Palm blast is very good maxed, but you can keep it at 10 if you want. For spear users, it's a very fast, low cd, spammable skill that can do as much as full swing or more if charged. Kevi's right about stabbing wheel cancel, it's absolutely amazing.
Most PvE builds have upper at 5 because they don't like keeping things airborne for too long. You can decide what you want to do there. Not a big deal which one you pick. I would recommend maxing water chaser though. Having that iron defense in PvE is really good, especially when combined with Teana. Battle Groove is still really meh for me. I don't know what the stat boosts are at max since I never leved mine(but I'm pvp build so yeah). Not sure how good it really is. I think if you build up and lose a new combo during the period you have the buff, you get the stat bonuses according to your new combo? I'm not entirely sure how it works.
As much as Sera's chaser press videos make it seem amazing, it's not a solid build. It's very gimmick, and only good for burst damage. I would not recommend that build. At all. Level 1 is enough. Shadow chasers also aren't that great. Get neither. You can max water chaser in that build with points left over. You could also choose to max palm blast and get a decent amount of water. Or max both, but lose battle groove.
