    Having the arrows in your inventory still gives you the + attack when using Soul Arrow right? I did that for 190 pre BB levels on GMS and another 85 on Royals. Id hate to find out it was pointless to do!

    The only two 1st job skills that never become useless are Critical Shot and Eye of the Amazon, it doesn't really matters in what you spend the rest of the points (especially if you are leeching).

    Sorry but as far as I know it is only a visual glitch that it still shows your damage range with +4 attack, your attacks don't have this bonus when using Soul Arrow.

    So, Muren what would be your best tip for me? Should I max something else then instead of Double shot knowing it will be useless later on?

    I still think Double Arrow is the best out of them all, it is better than Arrow Blow, there is no point in maxing Blessing of the Amazon since you will have waaaaay more than enough accuracy because of your DEX, and buffing Focus is a waste of time since the extra accuracy is not gonna change anything, the extra avoidability will increase your chances of enemies missing you but this increase is so small that there is really no point in stop attacking and waste your time buffing it.

    In the end Double Arrow is still useless after you get Strafe and/or Hurricane, the only times that I use Double Arrow is when I'm bored messing around with crossbows.

    Alright thanks, so I should either max Focus or Double Arrow, but if you think about it, Focus could be more useful later on than Double Arrow, correct? :p

    Yes, but if you don't put SP into FA (which is the recommended build since FA won't let you spam Arrow Bomb in peace) you will have 11 spare points from 2nd job that you will have to use in 1st job skills which is enough to max both skills at the end so don't worry too much about it.

    Oh really, I didn't know I'd have 11 spare points from 2nd job that I could use on 1st job... What does FA stand for?

    Thanks Muren, I guess it's fine then, I'll just max double shot now and later Focus since FA is useless, that's what you did? :p

    Yes, I maxed Double Arrow in 1st job and used the spare points of 2nd job to max Focus.

    A noob question, excuse me: Bow Booster influence in Hurricane?

    The shooting speed is the same with or without booster, the initial animation is speeded up when using booster but not by much since it is already pretty fast. In the end using booster only makes the first arrow come out a fraction of a second faster which imo doesn't justify buffing it at all if you are not using any other skill than hurricane.

    Looking at doing a 1 point strafe build currently. Just hit 82, and have maxed arrow rain. What order do I want to go through my other skills now? Puppet first, or is something else more worthwhile?

    Also, how much will doing a 1 point strafe build affect my ability to boss during 3rd job, and am I missing out if I'm not fighting Headless horseman etc at this time?

    Has anyone perfected a Nisrock instead of a Dragon Shiner? Would you do it again or would you go for the Shiner given the chance?

    I'm trying to find a Shiner 109-110 WA, however, it is very difficult to find it, since only get crafting or boss. I'm almost accepting make a perfect nisrock.
