I'm a noob fighter here, hoping to become a hero some day So I searched up skill builds for Fighters pre-big bang and I noticed some builds recommend Final Attack and some builds do not. How does everybody think?
iirc - Final Attack makes you attack another time, resulting in an overall dps-LOSS most of the Time. Wich is the case for all classes (including BM/MM) with Final Attack. It also only works for 1st and (I believe) 2nd job skills so you wont be using it for 99% off your playtime with the char anyway. Not a hero-main, neither am I sure what to put your Skill Points in beside Sword Mastery, Booster and Power Guard. Rage is borderline useless as well since you can buy better Atk Pots in New Leaf City (and these Atk Pots won't overwrite the Atk Pots of your party members like Rage will) Similar as DKs, you can prolly max out Axe Mastery and Booster as well with the leftover Skill Points. Axes have received some buffs in the past and are pretty much on par with Swords but for less than 10% of the price. Allthough your future Pally won't be able to use an Axe. welcome and glhf grinding .
The reason why [Final Attack] isn't recommended is due how it doesn't work well with the skill [Slash Blast], damage will be way weaker (reduced), but it works fine with [Power Strike] Also, the skill doesn't work with 3rd or 4th job skills, so adding [Final Attack] isn't worth it
