SO, since its floating around, what build are most people on SP finishing with. Im getting close to 4th, and wondering if i should leave blast at 21, shockwave at 21, or drain at 11, or some compromise in between. Just post your reasons why if you care to, i am really curious to see what most people are doing.
If you have already gone through 3rd job, and would recommend a different ending, go ahead and post what you would recommend.

I'm leaving drain at 11 because it takes the least damage taken from those 9 points, it's not a mob move, and it's not a main attacking skill (imo).

I left shockwave at 21, but I think i might end up resetting points from drain bak into shockwave, and end up with a hybridish build. I'm still not 100% sure im going to do it since drain is still my most used attack at the moment. I'll probably decide when I get 11 wind booster so I can see how fast shockwave becomes.

If you're using a Fast knuckle, level 11 shouldn't make a difference at all if speeds are still capped at Faster (2) as I believe they are. The cap could be raised in the future, though I wouldn't count on it.

Level 11 Speed Infusion is more about helping Snipers and Warriors than helping you. You get the full effect of SI at point 1.

I dunno really. The other avatar changes i could easily tell what it was. This one is different and unfamiliar so i felt like knowing the significance since i assumed there was one. :/

I just felt like mashing up more stuff this time instead of a direct rip, is all.

What's with party buffs that help other characters more than you?
SE, SI, HB to an extent, Bless. Dx

Why is SE and HB included in there? O_o
Well what's with party buffs that help you more than anyone else? Meditate and rage come to mind.

Doesn't SE help NLs more than Archers?
HB is the only reason any ranged character can HT, if I remember correctly.
Meditate helps mages? How? The... what is it, 20? 40? mAtk doesn't do much. ._.
They're buffs, they should help the user more than they help the party mates. Although, Bless is from a support class, so that kind of makes sense. :X

SE does amazing things for any class with crit. It's useless for any other class though. Helps certain minorities as well as yourself.
HB helps everyone, but a DrK cannot zerk very well without HB.
Meditate helps the user more than anyone else because meditate only helps mages (very small minority). It's mostly just to save att pot costs.

I know SE is amazing, but somehow NLs got a bigger boost from it. :[
Meditate's boost is a joke. <_< 40 out of 300 mAtk? Yea, kind of. 40/1000? yea, 4% increase. Yey.

I don't see how. Both their base crit is +100, and SE adds the same amount of damage making it +240%. The only difference is that the crit % is much higher for sins.
Medi is +20 m.att. O_O

Yeah the only reason you'd be getting 11 is to help out Warriors and Marksmen, or so that you don't have to use your regular booster anymore. Until 11 you'll need to use both to get max speed.

I got my own custom build:
- Max Shockwave [done]
- Max Transform [done]
- Max Energy Charge [10/40]
- Max Stun Mastery
- Max Drain
- Energy Blast lvl 2 - Saves me 28 SP
- Max MP Recovery (-9 SP)
- Max Double Fire (-19 SP)
Why? Because I hate Energy Blast, it's too slow and it gets replaced by 4th job Energy Orb anyway...
