Definitely focus. Storm's damage is just too weak for 2nd job. 20 avoidability is always useful. :D

Focus. Focus has some nice avoid at later lvls which might help you in the end. Storm just pulls unneccicary aggro. And if your a wind archer, you dont want unneccicary aggro. Since people get storm for mob controll, you wont need it because you get a whirlwind PKB in second job which does wonders.

Focus is mildly useful, it raises your avoidability by a small degree, which makes you get hit less. Storm is mildly useless, it raises your damage by a small degree and aggro's monsters, which makes you get hit more. Check my Wind Archer Guide for more info on both.

Focus is useless, as Wind archers have wind walk, which makes you get hit less. WRs don't shoot me when im in WW. Storm is more useful than you think, as it is your first mob move. Once you get wind walk, aggrovating monsters makes no difference.

Once you get wind walk, aggrovating monsters makes no difference." Storm is useless, as Wind archer have Storm Break, which enables you knock-back monsters, deal lots of damage(overkill), and potentially create a mob, which makes you get hit less. The little amount of damage that Storm makes barely affects your training status, and should be added points into last. Typhons more often 'miss' me when I activate focus. Focus is more useful than you think, as it is your only buff that adds avoid. As you progress through your wind archer, the amount of dex you have will add up to a great amount of avoid. plus an additional 20 points of avoid.
