Chance Attack Useless?
I had it maxed before I used the sp reset scroll, and now I am not sure whether I would bother putting the points into maxing it again.
Reasons:
1) Panic's darkness does NOT affect bosses at all, meaning that you have 9 seconds of extra damage to wail on monsters that take about 2-3 hits to kill.
2) All our stun attacks are interrupt-able and we cannot freeze monsters. So unless we are partying a paladin or some other class with freezing abilities, we barely see any advantage.
3) Although +25% sounds nice, its only for your next attack (assuming you don't bump into it with PG or hit with final attack).
I am only 3rd job, so I would like to know whether any Heroes find use in Chance attack while training or in any bossing situation.
PS. I was considering maxing Shout and MP recovery instead. How useful is shout when maxed?

[quote=LoveDocABC]Okay, thank you guys I ended up maxing Coma, Chance attack, and Magic crash instead. I don't find any use in Panic and the fact that it doesn't work on bosses make it more fail. Do any 4th job Heroes find use in Panic? I will just leave it until the end and work on MP recovery next.
@Above: Ya, I was amazed that it didn't work. The darkness lasts for 9 seconds when you basically 2 hit everything. And I still get hit so it doesn't make much sense to me in any training situation.[/quote]
So far in the videos I've seen, people who solo bosses and stuff don't use panic at all. In fact, the last time I've used panic was in a snail.

Chance Attack is NOT useless. It makes my 2 hits on my training spots become 1 hit.
Monster Magnet is 100% stun rate on most monsters. Both skill combined would definitely improve your training speed.
My screamer has 5% chance of freeze so it's not bad with chance atk.
