    I have a Dark Knight and played this class for a long time, so I know a few things.
    First of all, I must admit for me personally, this class got me bored pretty fast. Even though I reached 4th job and everything, there are just not enough interesting skills or attacks that make it fun enough for me. But thats a matter of personal preferences / opinion.
    Other than that, when it comes to skill build, max out Berserk first obviously. Thats your main attack boost. If you're done with that, next up would be 1 point into Rush(before you even max out Berserk, you can add 1 point into Rush right away), Beholder's Mastery, which increases your Min damage, and the rest are up to you / whatever skills you have available.
    The main challenge is keeping HP low enough, and for me it was a nightmare. I didnt like that and it was very annoying. Even though, when I first started, I didnt think it would be so terrible, but only realized that after I reached 4th job.
    If you have specific questions, feel free to ask.

    Maxing Dragon Roar is especially good if you plan to train in ppq.
    Some points in Dragon fury early can be good for training in dense areas such as goby.
    I think otherwise spear crusher first would be best! It will be your main bossing skill and is still a good skill for training anywhere.

    Note that the number of skill points in spear crusher affect how many mobs and how many times you attack:
    1-5 will attack 1 enemy 2 times
    6-10 will attack 2 enemy 2 times
    11-15 will attack 3 enemy 2 times
    16-20 will attack 1 enemy 3 times
    21-25 will attack 2 enemy 3 times
    26-30 will attack 3 enemy 3 times.
    You should take note of these if you will use spear crusher primarily as you train. At a time I found it more beneficial to save points until I can lvl it from 15-21 to skip the 16-20 issue with mobbing.

    Once these 3 are maxed, you can get power crash for later use in bossing, followed by elemental resistance as there aren't any other good options.

    Roar is good, its a good mobbing skill if you're okay with the HP it costs. So max that out first.
    After that, work on your crusher, the skill that hits up to 3 targets 3 times.
    And after that, you can work on whatever else. Doesnt matter much. But if you use spears only, dont put any points into pole arm skills.
