Well, I have my SS kick maxed, but I;m stuck on which I should max next. What are the pros and cons of these 2 attacks? :P

FLASH FIST! do not max dash. if anything you put your very last point into it, but you need flash fist.

DONT EVEN put one point into dash, it'll drain your mp bad.

If your a Slinger go Dash, if your a Brawler go Flash Fist.

Dash will kill you in the long run. When you have 1 extra SP left at lvl 30, put it into double shot instead of dash.

If you want speed, leave flash fist at 11 then max dash. In second job leave booster at 11 then max flash fist. In 3rd job max booster leave shockwave at 11 or 1 if you leave shockwave on 1 you can max both mp recovery and oak barrel. The people saying dash is bad have never put a point in dash, you'll never hear someone with max dash say something like 'dash will kill you in the long run'. Dash is extremely helpful, higher movement speed is very convenient both helpful in training and traveling. At max the mp consumption is very low, practically unnoticeable the higher level you get. It's impossible to accidentally bump into monsters because of dash or whatever unless you have extremely poor control. Dash does not cancel out any other speed boosts, like haste or transform, again thats more nonsense said by people who have no idea of how dash works because they were too afraid to put a point in it. Take it from me, lvl 86 Marauder the only downside to dash is that you have to rearrange your SP build. I had no trouble doing that and it didn't have a detrimental effect on me, since I eventually maxed all essential skills. You would have to sacrifice shockwave more than usual, but shockwave is pretty much useless now anyway since dragon strike outdamages it, out ranges it and can be used in transform, basically it renders shockwave 100% useless.

Takeback3r said: " Why you shouldn't max Dash: People think that Brawlers need max Dash in 1st job. Wrong. They don't get speed and power in 1st Job; Brawlers are not Captain Falcon from SSBM. Brawlers really only start to gain movement speed in 3rd job, where they get a haste effect from Transformation. Most Brawlers I've talked to chose to get 0 Dash, and this is why: • From 2nd job onward, a Brawler constantly alternates between Corkscrew Blow and Backspin Blow while training. That means you'll be changing directions almost constantly, since Corkscrew Blow attacks in front of you and Backspin attacks behind you. Brawlers turn a lot to focus attacks in one direction [i.e. using Corkscrew Blow to attack monsters on your left side, then turning to the right and using Backspin to hit the same monsters]. When you change directions, Dash automatically turns off. If you accidentally double-tap an arrow key while training, Dash would activate, waste a little of your MP, and then turn off right when you turn the other way. • The other risk of getting Dash as a Brawler is that accidental taps of the arrow key will cause you to run right into monsters and large mobs where you'll receive unnecessary touch dmg. Brawlers already get a haste effect from Transformation in 3rd job, so until then Brawlers can just get speed equips. Dash for Brawlers, in all honesty, is useless, and sometimes dangerous. You should get 1 Double Fire instead of 1 Dash at the end of 1st Job, because in some instances, Dash can literally hurt you. Granted, some will still want to use Dash for traveling purposes, which I agree with. Again, Dash is not recommended for Brawlers, but if you really feel the pros outweigh the cons, you can max it instead and leave Bullet Time at 11. We just wanted people to know that it can interrupt your fighting style. " Don't even think about raising Dash!

Uh... what are you going to be...? o_o;

McAwesomesauce 05/25/09 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

What kind of idiot puts 1 point into dash? It's like a 3 second boost and a waste of MP. It works like FA, max it or leave it at zero.

flash fist, very important skill. that is if you want to be a brawler.
