Even if you do put Drain at 28, that 2% damage is NEGLIGIBLE. That 2% is not going to show in anyway.

2 levels on Booster is the difference of 2MP/2HP and 20 seconds, and 2 levels on Drain is the difference of 4% damage and 2% absorption. These numbers are basically NEGLIGIBLE. You can always recast Booster, and because of the natural tendency for Thieve's to hit outrageously random numbers, Booster's 4% and 2% is negligible. Overall, if you want one over the other, go for it, but in the end, you'll still end up maxing all skills.

I played MS theif edition so i know that drain is somewhat good so should i keep it at 5 sp? cuz everything but drain and endure seem pretty useful. And can u save up for third job advancement cuz u cant for second...

With Self-HB, Draining at Skeles is very easy (it wasn't that hard before lol) and now I even Drain on COGs (one of my 3 lines of potential on my Claw has Seal, so COGs turn into big Snails). But depends on your prefs. xD

[quote=iProxD]In that sense yes. But generally speaking, there will still be a few leftover (mostly mules imo) that will heal and play the role of a dispeller/healer for bossing/training.[/quote]

[quote=iProxD]Yes and no Andy. Bishops/Priests will still be needed after Big Bang, for heal, dispel, door, etc.[/quote]

No, i didnt mean it that way. I meant that cuz of the 30 sec cooldown most priests/bishops will quit. I have talked with most of my bishop guildies/buddies, 90% of them will quit.

Not really. At the end, either Booster or Drain are 2 points from max, and the only difference between the 2 points is duration for Booster, and a few damage for Drain. It's all up to what you think is more important

It's about personal preference, I put some points in it, but basically I only use it in dojo :s
