Well, in order to quickly charge up your orbs for a Combo, Final Attack significantly increases the ability to gain orbs quickly.

You need it. It will hurt your mobbing and help your 1v1. Plus it reallyyy makes a difference in 3rd job when charging your orbs. You will FAIL as a crusader if you dont have it.

FA is only not useful with DKs, saders and fighters use power strike pretty much til 120. Good luck without it...

Fighters don't "need" FA but Crusaders do in order to charge their combo orbs faster. Just raise every other stat then save SP until you are level 70 and dump your last 30 points into FA before 3rd job advance.

My personal experience with FA and my opinion: I got FA at level 66. At the time I used a rohen which is a normal speed 2h sword. From levels 66-69 I HATED FA. It hurt LMPQing and mobbing at MP3 (my training spot). At level 70 I got the stuff you see now, which is a RK and shield combo. FA does not bother me as much any more because it allows me to 1 hit the slimys and selkies with PS when FA activates. I wasn't able to do that before. It still hurts mobbing, but since I attack so fast now I don't really mind anymore. Basically, get 30 FA at level 70 unless you train at voodoos like more than anywhere else. This is because in my experience FA really does help at voodoos, but hurt me everwhere else.

Ur an idiot. I don't need FA and I won't fail. It makes a small diff not big diff for charging orbs. I won't fail and I bet I'll be moe successful than u noob.

Well if you really want to go FA-less sader just keep using the fastest sword possible to charge your orbs faster (red katana, night raven's wing, stonetooth, or any other 1h sword that's lvl 100+

I might not know about sword users much, but my BW page's attacking speed got significantly when I dumped lots of points into FA. You seem to know what you're saying, did you get FA?

Make a thread asking about Final Attack, and flame a guy down for answering. He is correct though. It greatly improves DPM because you can release comas far faster. Senyain proved it somewhere, but I don't have any reference. That extra, faster, hit seriously helps in 3rd. For 2nd job, it isn't as useful, because you don't have coma. It weaken slash blast because of the strange way it distributes the damage, and that it only totals 250% as opposed to the usual 780% (on a mob of 6). Thus, it is recommended to save up points and dump them all in at 70, unless of course, you're training at areas where power-striking is frequent (such as v/hoodoos, as previously mentioned). In which case, getting it earlier may be benificial.
