What skills to put in? (SIN)

So now that we're all getting free SP resets, I just wanted to know what skills to put in, and in what order for 1st and 2nd job.

Thanks, or someone link me to a guide post-BB

Cause I really don't know what to raise, especially with the addition of the Shadow Resistance skill.
How is that going to play out, someone help me please.

[quote=lollerdude98]Question: For shadow resistance, I put a certain amount of sp into it, and then it said in the chatbox that you can put points into 3rd job or something along the lines of that. Help?[/quote]

In order to max all 2nd job skills, you have to use 9 SP from 3rd job. So when you're done with maxing SP, Avenger, Alch, FJ, Mesos Up, Flare, and Web, go back and finish Resistance. At the end, you'll have 2 points for Shadow Mesos. xD

You do get 31 left over SP in 3rd job. I decided to put 9 into my booster and the rest into web and shadow meso

[quote=DarkDreamz]Lol, so do you recommend me changing up the skill build after the sp reset?

Btw thanks, I love how you and iProxD always answer all the sin/hermit/Nl questions.
Helps a lot. Thanks again.[/quote]

Yeah, just to get on track with Mastery. But if you miss it, you just have to get yourself back on track as you level. xD

[quote=DarkDreamz]Wait.... we're supposed to max mastery before crit?
Wha!

I was thinking more along the lines of:
Max Crit -> Some booster -> Max Haste -> Max Mastery -> whatever else.[/quote]
L7 works off of Mastery now, so it's best to get it stabilized earlier rather than later. xD

1st. Max everything except Double Stab.
2nd. Some Mastery -> Some Booster -> Max Mastery -> Max Crits -> Max Haste -> Max Drain ->Max Resistance -> Leftovers in Booster.

If you're far enough where you have too much Booster to max Resistance, you can leave it with as many points in it as ya can until late 3rd to max. xD
