Should I really do this? (FA)

Well, after playing a server to find out if I liked FA on my Page or not I am still undecided about what I want to do even though it was helpful during third job on 1v1. My Page is currently level 58 and I have BW Mastery, Booster maxed, 3 threaten and 12 PG. 30 SP remaining and I never dumped it anywhere else yet. I was planning on saving it till 70 then putting in on FA but after reading peoples remarks about FA messing up your mob damage and stuff I still don't know. So here is what I'm going to ask. If I want third job to be a breeze and want to solo bosses like Pianus or even some Mini bosses along with training fast should I add FA to boost my 1v1? See I don't know how training a WK might be in third job, will the monsters be in mobs or will they be seperate? I know how training a WK might be repetitive and they get slow %/hr but I don't want to make it any slower so what should I do? Leave out FA or add it?

FA will slow you down at wyverns, however it will help you out a TON at pianus. You could go hybrid too xD.

Man.. I guess I might add it but should I add it right now or save till level 70?

Add it, but save the points until 70. Until then, all your training will be on huge mobs where FA will only hurt.

Okay! Thanks guys, I'll add it at 70

It will? o.o I thought that each platform of wyverns weren't all that mob-packed. 2-3 monsters is where mob damage is affected the least, and the 1v1 is improved. Even 4 isn't too bad, at least, in my opinion. It's the 5th and 6th where the damage obviously sucks. Then, there's charged blow to make up for some mob damage, if you use it. Ultimately, the choice should be up to just you, based upon whether you think the pros outweigh the cons or not, and which you enjoy having more. Heck, you could ignore the damage altogether, and base it upon fun entirely (that's part of why I ended up with a late hybrid conversion xD). But yes, if you do intend to, wait until 70, unless you plan on training at 1v1 places, like doodoos.

I'm guessing h/voodos wouldn't be that bad of EXP neither.

I'd better give Annihilatron credit for "doodoos" since he was the one who first said it. Just like the Annihilatron said: "dinky bathrobe" I should say Annihilatron said: "doodoos" .

I would suggest getting final attack at the very end of your page career. As you may or may not know, Slash blast without fa is stronger than slash blast with fa. However! As you are a white knight, you will get charged blow. Charged blow is a great skill, and in terms of dps, is stronger than slash blast with final attack, but weaker than slash blast without final attack. This allows you to keep your 1v1 damage at its best, while still having a mobbing skill that is better than having fa and using slash blast. So yes, I do suggest getting FA, just wait until the very last 30 points to get it

Charge blow is better but you gotta remember SB with no fa on 3> power strike on 1 and charged blow with recharging xD.

ummm first off max power guard then worry about FA (maxing threaten is a choice thing but i use it all the time) i personally like FA. i find that as u level the monsters get bigger so there are fewer on the platforms. FA helps imo cause u do more single target and mob dmg i cant see a diffrence really(went FA less till 70 but i saw a bunch of people with FA and it looks awesome so i put my spare points into it and i dont regret it. [Fa does have its disadvantages as it can slow u down by proccing when there is no mob there to hit. but it saves mana cause u get 2 hits for one button press]) . I havent run into many 8+ mobs where i train...mabye im in the wrong spot lol. Sum up Max PG cause its one of the best skillz a warrior can get. second i like FA
