Steal is more of a fun skill. I suggest not maxing it. Check the stickies for information in how to distribute your SP.

keep in mind steal is changing soon and will a fair bit more useful. probably no need to max it, however.

"Soon" is a relative term. I haven't exactly seen anyone confirm when gms will be patched so as for now it's still the same as always. No use in maxing out steal over any other skill.

Max Endure, since it'll help you all the way to level 200. Steal is only useful until 70ish and then it's sorta dead.

EDIT: fixed/added some information. if you leave nimble unmaxed and maxed DS in first job, you're pretty much free and clear to get 11 steal. while maxing everything else deemed more useful.

Regardless, I don't think one more second of stun on a skill you won't use past your upper 70's is worth leaving points out of a passive skill. Just imagine how much money those two extra points in avoid could save you if you played for 3 years? lol If steal hits 4 and 100% stuns at lvl 1 then that'd be amazing. You could put 1 point into it at 30 and then do a normal bandit build; just using steal to stun monsters with
