Placing this here because the subforums barely get any attention. I've just hit level 70 and was in the middle of the quest to change to 3rd job when the server check started, so I figured I'd make a skill build for myself. I haven't done anything on a level-by-level basis but I think I have a good idea of what I want most of my third job skills to be at; 30 Strafe (Of course) 28 Arrow Eruption (Those last 2 levels only add 1% damage) 21 Blizzard (For 3 second freeze) 20 Puppet (Vital defensive/Crowd control skill) 10 Thrust (Woo, 20 passive speed) Which leaves me 42 points between Mortal Blow and Eagle (Yes I know MB needs 5 points for AE). But which one should I max? I was originally intending to max MB and leave Eagle at 22, but I'm guessing those KMS updates will come during my time as a Sniper, in which, because of the minimum range improvement on archers, MB will kinda get nerfed. Basically I'm wondering if; There are any glaring flaws with this build, and Whether I should max Mortal Blow or Eagle.

link <-? Looks good to me, you might wanna max AE though. Sure, it's only 1%, but for Marksmen... At level 120, you stop using Eagle entirely. If you can, get as little as possible. Personally, I got 20 Eagle, Maxed everything but Thrust and Blizzard (which were 10 and 21). Aya, still.. the 2% isn't very useful, but I'd rather have 50 extra damage on AE than Eagle that I'll never use in 4th.

Yeah, max AE. Get at least 20 into eagle. I'm personally getting 21 in eagle and 19 in MB.

I'm kind of apprehensive to putting any more in thrust as after 10 its only one point per level. And wouldn't the stunning ability of Eagle at 21 help me in training? I'm thinking max MB, 29 AE, 21 Eagle, instead of what I have up there. AE at level 29 is 159% as opposed to 160. When you factor in critical and SE later on..that's not even a difference =
