Right now my TB is lvl 35 with max hp and 6 mastery. im planning to max out master then add a lil to charge and booster. then max corkscrew........ the build on basil said to leave booster at 11 (little surprise at this since most classes have this as a must to max) I'm thinking that blast will be replaced by shark later on (idk about this) So i am planning to max out booster and not blast or am i missing something here? Note:most of the time i am going to be lmpq and cpq and after 70 i am going to try to get a blackbelt in dojo

leave booster at 11. your gonna max booster later on and have only 2 shockwave

More booster doesn't really do anything besides lower the cost and increase the duration. You will be able to max booster later on right before you get speed infusion anyway. Getting blast will help you out more.

YAY! Someone else except me has finally realized this other option! =D Yes, Blast DOES get replaced by Sharkwave, and later even more so by Barrage. Also, more than 11 Blast is useless from level 50+, as you should be 1HKOing Truckers and later at MP3 with 11. Max Blast only helps a little at WRs up to level 77, where you start using Sharks. Getting Max Booster and leaving Blast at 11 also gives you benfits in 3rd job: -You get Drain 6 levels early. -You get Transform 3 levels early. -You get Max Wind Booster 3 levels early. -You can potentially max Sprite at the very end for laughs. Or you could get more Shockwave also for laughs. =P More Booster time is also more convenient! =D For more details on my build and its various Pros, read the Comments in the TB guide. EDIT: Alright. There is my build and Explanation. The next few pages are me debating on them with another guy, who eventually left. =P

You can get drain whenever you want- you don't have to wait to MAX other skills just to get 1 point in it. 2. Transform is almost useless except for the added mobility. 3. OH NOES I won't get the extra damage from wind booster early! Well guess what? You sacrificed blast for 40+ levels, and believe me, blast helps in training alot. 4. Maxing sprite won't do much. 5. Blast helps a lot more than you think close range, and doesn't stop working when you get to windraiders. Sharks will also not competely replace blast. Blast = 360% to 3 monsters maxed Sharks = 270% to 6 monsters maxed In smaller mobs, blast is better than sharks (not to mention slightly faster)

I'm wondering though, if blast does get replaced what lvl would shark have to be to do so? and if blast is a main skill why does it get replace so fast? i am seeing it like max double shot getting completely over powered but 1 strafe and as you said sleepyxdude i am losing duration and some cost what are ome benefits for blast over booster? thank you all for help =]

u only need 11 because u only need maxed booster for speed infusion and u dont get this until lvl 100 so yea and btw i think u shouldn't max corkscrew 1st u should get 2 energy charge and 1 blast right after u got 6 booster
