I am just wondering wat all you NL and soon-to-be NL have maxed so i have an idea of wat to max whenever i get that to NL level. I would like to know wat you maxed and y that skill. (Ex. alchemist, mesos up, shadow web, etc..) no flames please. i just want to know in advance since there has been new training spots and areas out now. Thank you for your help. P.S. I dont read guides since most of them never really helped me.

is shadow mesos a good skill? i heard that shadow mesos hits more than L7 at begining low 3rd job levels. but after a few levels ur L7 dmg is higher than Shadow Mesos. so is shadow mesos a good skill?

Shadow Partner > Avenger > Alchemist > Flash Jump > Mesos Up > Dark Sight > Drain/Booster > 1 point into Shadow Meso for fun > everything else in Shadow Web. Basically, I'm maxing my skill in that order. Of course, some stuff going to be mixed around during when I'm maxing Avenger, Alchemist, and FJ, since I'm distributing the points according to where and when I train. Edit: Shadow Mesos is all that useful, so that's why I only put 1 put into it. SM has a set damage range that it can't go over. Meaning it will not get any stronger when max, that your main attack (L7 and TT) will get stronger. Plus, you are using your own money to attack.

so would u say putting 1 point into shadow mesos would be ok to do or to just not put it in cuz u wont use it in the future anyways and its a waste of point? that is after i max shadow partner for sure.

Well, you probably wouldn't used Shadow Web either. Those two skill are that last skill you have to worry about. Also, by the time you max all your vital skills (SP, Avenger, Alchemist, FJ, and Meso Up), you will have like around 30 SP put left to used. That's why people go back to max out the skill they didn't max out in the other jobs ( dark sight, drain, and booster). Even then, when you max out those, you are still left with around 19 points. There isn't anything left you can put the points into, so just might as well as put it into SM and SW (the one point into SM is just for fun like I said. Used that skill at beggars or something. xD).

Personally, I did Shadow Partner > 5 Avenger > 1 Flash Jump > Avenger > Flash Jump... Flash Jump before Alchemist, since all Alchemist really does is save you pot money, which really isn't too expensive; and because the only real use of Alchemist is to give you more onyx apple time, which I don't see you using from level 80 - 90. After, I did Alchemist > Meso Up > Drain / Booster, since Drain is actually a somewhat useful attack skill, whereas getting a few more points into dark sight only saves you a few seconds of time traveling between things you'd need to dark sight for. Then after I just did Dark Sight and Shadow Web. Shadow Meso is useless. I swear. I'm pretty sure L7 outdamages it early in your third job too. Shadow Meso is one of those "fun but never use" skills. By the time you max Shadow Meso, L7 probably outdamages it already. Therefore, Shadow Meso would be forever useless. The only good use I can think for it is that it can KB things at lower levels that you can't KB with L7, although you shouldn't be training at those monsters anyway. And yeah, like qwan said, you'll ALWAYS do Shadow Web and Shadow Meso last, but it doesn't really matter how much AP you put into those skills because: Shadow Web cancels AS SOON AS YOU ATTACK THE MONSTER WITH ANOTHER ATTACK, and does horrible damage. Shadow Meso; we talked about this already, it's even more useless than Shadow Web since it ONLY does horrible damage.

By 120 I had Shadow Partner, Avenger, Flash Jump, Alchemist, Meso Up, and Shadow Web maxed. I used extra points to finish maxing Booster (already had Drain maxed) from 2nd job. Shadow Partner - bread and butter of Sins, +DPS Flash Jump - mobility over mobs, through maps/ Alchemist - saves mesos, makes a atk pots last longer, makes potions heal more. Meso Up - gain more mesos (party effect) from mesos dropped Shadow Web - better than Shadow Mesos. although useful if you are fighting Manon or Griffey or Headless Horseman @ Hollow Grounds... Booster - because I had Drain already maxed. Extra points were put into 1 Double Stab, 1 Shadow Meso, rest into Darksight 1 Double Stab and Shadow Meso were for fun - I like having 1 point in every skill rest into Darksight - more mobility while walking through monsters is convinent
