Luminous skill build + other questions

Does anyone have a reliable skill build? I am pretty much only playing Luminous for the link skill, but I am having trouble allocating sp.

Btw, can someone explain to me how the pineapple this class works? I did the tutorial, read all those messages throughout those tons of beginner and first job quests, etc. I am now in my 30s and cannot seem to figure out how to utilize the eclipse/sunburst things.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks guys.

Yea I already tried that build. Aren't those skills different? At least they were for 1st job.

Quick fix: You can max everything in first job so it really has no bearing on anything. Just follow the general idea of the build.

Protip : Don't max Magic Guard until level 110+. You won't need it, unless you plan to face mobs that do more damage than you have HP.

This. Thank god I had a reset scroll from my resistance; I was burning mana pots like no tomorrow.

Yeah, I didn't notice it wasn't an active skill so I put points in it :/ would be nice to have better MP regen from sunfire/eclipse.

What about jobs 2 and 3? Is there a general rule of thumb for the builds?

For 2nd I maxed everything except Blind Pillar.

I've barely used any potions with magic guard, and I'm level 75. o_o

Although, it is a pain to get the damage bonus from Tidal.

If you're having potion problems, just keep your affinity on light and you'll never need pots again. <_<; Seriously, I haven't used a SINGLE pot on my luminous and I'm level 70.

Jr. Boogie familiar/Evan character card should regenerate mp fast enough for general training.

Really? I've been using sunrise dews like mad. How aren't you using potions? o.o

I think if you attack with light skills, every attack heals 1% of your HP and MP. If you attack fast enough, while keeping up your black orbs, you should be just fine. keep in mind this works better if you have magic guard maxed.

How does the equilibrium button thing work? I have it keyed but have no idea how to switch between modes.

I'm confused as to why Blinding Pillar shouldn't be maxed. At level 10, Blinding Pillar has a 100% chance to stun anything it hits, and the trade-off is that one of the two attacks has to be left at level 19, which shouldn't be a problem given that the third job attacks immediately replace the two attacks from second job.

i just switched to %mp potions, with the massive MP this sucker has...

level 81 and not a single pot was used

Blinding pillar has AMAZING potential at empress due to it not actually doing damage...i maxed it and it's ridiculously useful for monster park farming tempest coins.
