When I built my fighter (now a crusader) I had known that Final Attack would be the least useful skill. I decided I would raise it last. My skill build was Sword Mastery -> Rage -> Booster -> Power Guard -> Final Attack. However, what I didn't know is how or why Final Attack made slash blast so useless???? I didn't know that final attack lowered the damage on your slash blast, and I don't think I remembered that in old maplestory. Nevertheless, shouldn't this be something that should be changed or looked at? I'm using slash blast all the way to 120 and I really don't want to bank on having FA lower my damage/mobbing output by like 50%.
If you knew that the skill would be the least useful, you shouldn't have put any points in it to begin with. Most recommended builds completely opt out of increasing Final Attack and focus on maxing out everything else. I would probably restart your character. Seeing as Final Attack was always like this and not restricted to just this server, I don't see any action taking place for Final Attack.
As a warrior player I can tell you that you are better off WITHOUT final attack, not in v62. The skill got better in later versions, but not in 62. Stay away from it.
Brandish doesn't activate Final Attack I believe, just hit 120, you're safe. I have max Final Attack lol
no need to restart or reset skill points. there's nothing much else to raise anyways, you're damage even with FA Will suffice, brandish doesn't activate FA Anyways you'll be fine, most of your third job damage output will come from coma, plus final attack atleast quickens up the combo counter by the slightest amount.
I used to be a pure polearm drk with final attack. I can tell you from experience that it is no easy task to sp reset all those points especially now with the nx:meso rate higher. In the end, it's not all that worth it. Honestly you're better off remaking your character
I have max Final Attack, and I found no problems bossing or grinding so far....Just spam Coma after you mob
