I'm really bored right now so I'm just wondering. After ice does it really matter what we max next? There's lightning, CB, and then whatever, but I don't really see any need to max one thing first. I've been pushing off CB until 100. (At first I was like I'll max it after fire, then Wait I'll do it after ice, now I'm doing it after lightning, lol)

It actually depends on how much you are funded. CB really drains the bank accounts a bit in the early stages can always do it after fire, ice and lightning. I'll be maxing fire, then a bit of ice, max lightning then proceed. Maybe CB plus the rest.

I'm not even using CB until ACB, charge->ACB->Recharge is a waste of time and pots unless you use it at the very end of a charge. But even so, I never remember to hit the hotkey for it.

WKs have the most boring skill-builds ever >.>. Once we max our first 2 charges (Fire and Ice), we're basically the same all the way up to 4th job. I'm surprised i didn't recognize the monotony of it until now. I basically maxed Ice first and just used that to train all the way to 4th =/.

Well, if i remember correctly, charged blow yields a slightly better killing rate compared to slash blast in mobs for 4-6. So I would max out charged blow if i were you.

^^ You are half correct my friend. SB w/o FA > CB + Recast > SB W/ FA That's in terms of DPM and killing efficiency.

Yeah, if you go Ice first, then Charged Blow is kind of a waste in your earlier levels. Charged Blow is much more effective when it follows Fire Charge. Charged Blow is a matter of personal preference I guess, but I used it extensively as a White Knight. I know for a fact that it helped my training despite having to recharge on a regular basis (I went Fire first and was FA-less though). Sometimes I wonder if people look for justification for not using it just because they're too lazy to be bothered with recharging. That's not meant as a personal insult, as I'm lazy about a lot of things in the game too. We all have stuff we'd rather not deal with. @below: I very much disagree, but different strokes and all that.

Lightning is more useful then CB.

But i shouldn't assume these common things. Afterall, your supposed to answer questions as if the person asking the question has just began their adventure.
