SOOOO after a long way of training, I've finally reached 120. I used the first 3 SP on 1 of each: Overswing, Final Blow, and Combo Tempest. Now I'm about to lvl to 121, but should I put more 2 SP on Overswing and 1 High Mastery or 2 SP on High Mastery and 1 Overswing? P.S. Overswing won't be going over 20 anytime soon(I suck at scrolling, Idk about mastery books, since it's only 50% chance of success, and I'm not rich to buy like 5 of those to keep trying)

Max Overswing first. You weren't really suppose to add 1 in tempest yet o.o Unless your going to do easy training so yeah. Other then that you could of got overswing 2 in the begining and FB 1.

I maxed Overswing first and I enjoyed it. Of course I was a bit funded so I bought overswing30 and it helped that it worked on 1st try. 1 in tempest is ok although I don't really use it. WHatever you do don't get 1 in combo barrier completely useless (at lvl 1) and its range isn't even far Oh I also put in 1 final blow early on as soon as I got the skillbook. 1 pt in high mastery should be fine till you max overswing (or if you broke to lvl 20)

It doesn't really matter since you can train fast as hell with just 1 OS and tempest. OS would provide more DPS, though.

High Mastery is more to stable your damage rather then increase it. It really can't compare to Overswing. Also, 1 Tempest is great to get right away, all these noob Aran's saying it's worthless just don't know how to apply it to make training quick. I loved Tempest on my Aran, I applied it often.. It made training alot faster, especially at Road to Oblivion.

Mastery is only raising the minimum attack range while increasing the the weapon attack by one every three skill levels. But Overswing increase your possible damage output for the attack allowing an Aran to hit an higher damage which would be unobtainable through maxed mastery.

Neo City also. But it does speed things up in Oblivion also. Skeles as well if soloing.

this is what i did and im happy with it: since I never follow builds of maxing one thing at a time, I put 1 into overswing, 1 into tempest, 1 into final blow and 1 into freeze standing, 1 into combo barrier (i think was a mistake). i've been working mostly on high mastery (19 so far) with 6 in freeze standing. Final blow is a good to use as a lure cause it has better range than a swing, otherwise its dmg is worthless at lvl 1. Tempest is great even tho' it has a small freeze time. i'm going to get HM to 27 before i start thinking about my next skill.
