Ok, I wanted the opinion of other players since I'm not quite sure what my next course of action should be. I have 6 SP from my past two levels since I wasn't sure what to do with it. Everyhing in my second job skill tab is maxed except Slow and MP Eater. (I have nothing on Slow and the mininum required 3 points on MP Eater.) I heard some ppl don't like Cold Beam but I've found it and Lightening an extremely useful combo. I have four more levels to go until I hit lvl 70 and the SP doesn't roll over, does it? Should I split it between both? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I actually maxed slow in third job and maxed MP eater during 2nd job. MP eater will help you during 4th job as Blizzard consumes twice the MP you're supposed to use due to elemental amplification. But then, maxing slow third job will make you sacrifice an attacking skill (either composition or thunder spear). So I suggest for the last four levels, go MP eater. edit : In my opinion, slow is pretty useful on bosses. Even though if it's for a short period of time, it's actually helpful. Especially CWKPQ bosses. Someone correct me if I am wrong but this is what I did

i maxed everything except slow and still had an extra point for slow (1 point) which doesn't do much at all... don't see a difference... Mp eater is very useful and most guides suggest it over slow

Slow isn't useful until late third job into fourth job. I would max MP eater now. Maxing slow near the end of 3rd job at the sacrifice of thunder spear is what most people do. Thunder spear is replaced by chain lightning anyway.

Thanks for all the feedback. I'll concentrate on MP Eater and work on leveling up Slow later in mid third job. Now if i can just train and get to level 70!
