| Well, last monday I made a fighter and im currently level 52, I think I made a mistake because I maxed out FA and I just read about how it decreases mob damage. How bad is my mistake? o.o |

| Not that bad at all; as a Crusader you'll need it anyway It's not like being a DK where you quit using PS and FA in your low 70s |

| In my opinion, I liked final attack because it made the difference between attacking times 'less', so I felt like I was doing more in less time, regardless of what figures had said about total mob damage. To my (lack of) knowledge, I think final attack increases the 1 on 1 monster fighting abilities and total damage per minute. |

| Faster orbs is needed only if you constantly use Panic/Coma. Otherwise the extra 3 seconds spent doing PS to get the full 5 orbs isn't exactly a huge problem, provided you're not a profectionist. Sure you might miss out on a couple attacks over the course of a full hour, it really matters little unless you're doing Pink Bean boss fight, which most likely won't EVER happen for...all but about 40~ish of us maplers? o.o |

| We're discussing six of one or a half-dozen of another..... FA is automatically faster attack speed, so PS or SB + FA is quicker than just attacking twice (yeah, it's about 1.5 seconds faster, whoop-dee-doo, but still, it's a free-mana attack). It charges up your orbs quicker as a Crusader, helping you with Panic and Coma (and why wouldn't you use Panic on high HP monsters and bosses?). And it only spreads out damage with SB, obviously; if you do PS you'll get pretty much the same damage twice. Anyway, big deal, no big deal, who knows, who cares? I have max FA (there's nothing else for me to put it in anyway). |

| you'll use it up until 120. It's good to max it. |

| It would have been better if you just dumped all 30 points at level 70, but it doesn't make a huge difference in your training. |

Coma is pretty much constantly used after level 85. Same for Panic after 100 (when you have straglers). And you will miss out on several potential attacks and a lot of damage because you have to train for hours (Its about 20% per hour at my level, 1x) Also, FA is a non-factor in a PB or any boss that you would fight after level 123 (or so) where Brandish replaces PS. Anyway, for the TS, FA is important in 3rd job where it allows you to use your key skills faster, so you'll be fine. Also, I personally maxed FA on this warrior after Mastery and rage, and I did just fine. Although, you may want to hope that the hoodoo/voodoo maps are back to normal. |
