Here is what I did: Maxed Ice Strike, the maxed Booster, then maxed Amp, then maxed Seal, and at this point if you didn't max Slow, this is where I would do it, then I maxed Resistance and put the rest in Compo. (I had no points in Thunderbolt, so I was able to get Slow near max to begin with)

Booster does affect Ultimates Seal is VERY useful in later levels. If you plan on getting to 4th job, then those two will get replaced but I would choose one of them, (preferably Comp because it has higher DPM) to help you get to 4th job. My build went like this: Max Ice Strike, 3 Amplification, 11 Booster, Some on seal, Max Amplification, Max Composition Max Booster Max Seal 1 PR Rest on Slow After you max composition, you can max booster and seal in whatever order you want. Then, you can go either to max PR or put points somewhere else. I didn't max PR because I won't go train on ice/lightning damaging monsters. It wouldn't help me if I put more than 1 point on it. Only use that I can think of is Zakum but I don't plan to boss anytime soon.

see, i'm maxing PR, because i'm putting a total of 6 points into TS and comp, completely for fun. my reasoning? both are rendered COMPLETELY useless in 4th job. so, this was my build +28 IS +3 amp +5 booster +1 IS +6 booster max IS max amp +2 seal max booster +1 pr max seal +1 ts +5 comp and from there on.. i've just randomly dumped points into slow and PR.
