MB has helped me a lot, but it's up to you. I guess in theory you could just use AE when the monsters get too close. When I'm at newties it helps me with killing nest golems. I'm pretty unfunded, yet with my level 7 SE, I can hit around 12k with MB; also helps with auto killing when they get too close. I'd go with ether more Eagle (for the stun), or MB. Don't mess with Thrust, it's really not worth the SP. But, that's just my opinion Do what you really feel is right.

max mb I'm not sure where the people who say its not useful train but it helps me at newties and skeles then get 20 eagle and 10 thrust (20 got me through newting to 120).

Thats what i was thinking KillerFan BUT EVERYONE SAYS MB is useless in Mardia i unno but i think you have the right idea TY

you can get a hog to help with speed and save some sp on thrust. thats what i did, i would do almost exactly like killer said but id skip thrust all together and get max eagle

10 thrust, 20 eagle, 20 MB here, perfectly satisfied with it. 10 thrust for good speed, 20 eagle was enough to keep me from blowing my brains out in 3rd at newties, and 20 MB is better for 4th job than more eagle (and 11+ thrust isn't worth it IMO).

i would definately rather get at least 10-15 thrust rather then a hog. i'm struggling with pot money at typhons atm, but i've always liked the idea of a passive haste. depending on your speed equips and preferences, thrust can rage from 10-15. i will definately max mb, but that will probably be at 110ish. i dont think too highly of eagle, i'm sure it'll help, but 15 is enough for me. since your a sniper, frostprey will definately replace eagle, and 15 is the pre req of frostprey. however, if you think more highly of eagle, you could move some points of thrust or mb. i havent been at newties yet, but overall all, mb has helped me significantly at level 5. if your funded, you could always get a hob, but thrust should help during training. the whole thrust thing might be a "little" biased :P i've always been alittle speed crazy

Meh, I know I'm a Ranger, but I still have a similar problem. I really want maxed Speed, so I'll need some Thrust for sure, and I would like Maxed of high Eagle. At the same time, I really want to max out Inferno.... How useful is MB? I am at gobies right now, and will go to Typhons later, and so far it hasn't really helped at all. Sure, there are instances when it might be good to have, but in 4th job we get Dragpn's Breath, which makes a monster closing in on you happen quite rarely, I guess. AH!

standard build has max AE strafe puppet 21 blizz max mb 15-20 eagle (15 is needed for freezer) the rest into thrust.

Zenarkenstin 09/02/09 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

Max inferno isnt very good. 16 is good for the range increase, but 30 isnt such a good idea. For snipers, we leave blizz at 21, so we have points for 10 thrust(20 speed), 20 eagle, and 20(max) mb.

HyperRyan : Thats what i was thinking KillerFan BUT EVERYONE SAYS MB is useless in Mardia i unno but i think you have the right idea TY Oh well there are so many stupid people saying such stupid things everywhere. Yesterday some guy found me a stupid noob because I found his statement bull: ''Bowmen can only boss well'', which he heard from ''his lvl18x BM buddies''. Anyway for a sniper the final build is pretty much set at max strafe, AE, puppet, MB, 21bliz and at least 15 eagle, the leftover 15SP is up to the person (I recommend 20eagle and 10thrust). The only real different thing is in what order you max everything. MB actually is quite usefull, albeit not really in the lower lvls. It starts shining when it gets close to being at max lvl and when you get SE. You happen to MB alot at newts and skeles and ANY other opportunity when a monster comes too close. It happens alot more than you think, and alot of times they're too close (mostly unexpected) to use Dragon Breath. Who doesn't prefer a free 15k dmging over a weak whack that mostly doesn't do much anyway?

I'm thinking that 20 speed is enough so I'm going to get 10 thurst 20 Eagle and i might get around maybe 6 puppet at before level 75 fer help :D tyvm

AlwaysBowman 09/02/09 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

Max mb, 10 thrust, 21 bliz, max everything except eagle.

HyperRyan : I'm thinking that 20 speed is enough so I'm going to get 10 thurst 20 Eagle and i might get around maybe 6 puppet at before level 75 fer help :D tyvm Don't get so much puppet so early. Better to use those points on more important things, you won't need puppet that much anyway then.
