Link Skill Worth it?

Applying to Kanna and Hayato (maybe Phantom). Not to Xenon, I'm definitely making one.
Should I keep going on my recently advanced to 3rd job BaM, or make a character above for the link skills? I want to keep leveling, but the link skills could be really helpful. Kanna=10% damage, Hayato=?+5 W. Att?, Phantom=10%crit. I level really slowly (I don't play frequently), and hit level 70 (that's the level required for the link skill?) in a WHOLE MONTH. Should I make any of these characters for the link skills, or just go on without them? Thanks for the (honest) replies!

Actually, it's pretty likely Hayato's link skill will also give 5 m.att.

It only takes under a week of even casual play (hardcore under a day) to hit level 100 for the level 20 link skill.

I'd highly recommend it. At the very least make the character and leave it level 10 just so you can level it up at-will later.

Hayato's link skill does not benefit a Battle Mage.

You only need to get them to lvl 70 for the link skill. I think lvl 100 for lvl 2 link skill effects lol (for some not sure). I havent been on much. </3

If possible, just create the characters now and work on them later. Kanna is def. worth it, and maybe even Hayato if you really want to.

[quote=Razmos]Well it depends, what is most important to you right now? Levelling up your Battle Mage (which is cool, BaM's are awesome) or increasing your range?

The way i see it personally, Kanna and Hayato will be gone April 2nd, while your Battle Mage will be there forever. I would get the link skills out of the way before you miss your chance and regret it later.[/quote]

Okay, I guess I'll make a Hayato for the link, and then a Demon Avenger when unlimited comes, since it's the same as Kanna? I don't need TOO much damage.... plus, my range is already really bad D:

10% damage definitly worth but you need to hit level 100 on your kanna for that
level 1 skill level 70 5% damage
level 2 skill level 100 10% damage
