i was wondering if FA actually helps or not, i've read the guide and i'm still not sure, my plan was to max all 2nd job skills, put 1 into FA, and with the rest of the points max Soul(currently lvl 1) since FA and Soul are both useless(I think?), anywho, can somebody please help me out here

I like FA... It's pretty helpful when I boss.

Final Attack can activate on Brandish at an instantaneous speed, which basically adds another 260% hit at the end. It's incredibly helpful for dps.

I think it's useful and as such am maxing it on my dawn warrior, however if you don't have enough points to max FA (which you don't appear to have) then don't anything short of max FA will hurt you. if you haven't used up 30 points yet just take points out of booster. my suggestion is max everything 2nd job but leave rage at 19 and booster at 12 (2 minute long booster)

I like FA, even if it's a minimal boost for Brandish it's still excellent for Power Strike.

Well, On my DW, i maxed soul rush AND is oing to max FA, I Rather you have put 11 into booster because booster doesnt increase speed per lvl, only the lonnger duration

Xeroko : Final Attack can activate on Brandish at an instantaneous speed, which basically adds another 260% hit at the end. It's incredibly helpful for dps. "Instantaneous" and "incredibly helpful" are over/understatements respectively. The most accurate estimations people have come up with so far are half the time of brandish, and ~1% increase of Brandish DPM.

Midgetmage : Actually, TLX proved that it's more than 3% :O It's 1%. Your DPS goes from ~613% to ~619%, which is an overall increase of 1%.

Sprite is useless, every3 second it does 700 dmg, at lvl 120 FA does way more than in in 3 second ( u can hit bout 3 to 5 hits) it's 1%, but 1% / hit is alot. so basically u do 500 more dmg every second. if your average dmg is 50k and the FA rate is 60% maxed 700 dmg every 3sec or 500 dmg/ sec it's up to u =] but tat case only works for lvl 100 + wif brandish before brandish, u wil need FA for powerstrike,, which the damage booster wil be MORE than 1% forsure
