I'm also worried about the SP distribution for Bandits.
For second job, you'll be able to max all but one skill (9 SPs missing). Odds are this will be steal.
For third job, you'll be able to max all but one skill (9 SPs missing). This is a problem, since all of the skills here are good. I'd probably go with a few points missing from both Pickpocket and Radical Darkness. These can both be re-visited in 4th job however.
For fourth job, you can max all but Hero's Will (left at 3/5). But, because Sudden Raid is such a crappy unwanted skill, you can easily dump any points from that into whatever you missed out during 3rd job, because lets face it, anything is better than Sudden Raid. Hell, if you want to go with Steal in 2nd job, you can still use more Sudden Raid points for Shield Mastery.
With a few max level tweaks in 3rd job (Venom cut to 10, push Meso Mastery to 4th again), BoT/Shadesplit could be added in and give Bandits some actual good mobbing moves. Because while people constantly say that Boomerang Step and Edge Carnival is the way to tackle enemies in 4th job rather than Boomerang Step and BoT, you still have to get through 3rd job first.
