127 skill points available
So I log into MS for the first time in 4 years, and to my surprise I find that I now have 127 skill points available. I see that it's due to the fact that spear and polearm skills are now combined. I have to allocate my second job skill points before I can allocate my third job points, so I have a question - is there any reason for me to put any points into final attack, considering that I'm already third job?
Also, could anyone point me to an updated SP distribution guide for spearmen/DKs? Thanks for any help!

No, it isn't. But it's still more useful.
11 is the magic number to skill builds. Don't question, just follow; 11 Iron Body/Ground Smash/Buster. I personally still cast Iron Will because my party members and I are not funded enough to reach defence cap, and simply because it's fancy.
Since you maxed out Buster (which is still OKAY for 70+ PvP, which gives more BP apparently), you might as well get Elemental Resist and have 11 Fury. You would only use fury for that Y-Axis one hit on lower tier mobs of which you can farm.
@skazo: The moment you get Dragon Fury, Ground Smash is completely useless. IW > GS

@skazo:
No worries, just happy to help an old player out =P
Your avatar seems very familiar though. (probably from back when I used to lurk sw or something)
Thanks again for the help...MS has changed so much
@skazo:
Leave out Elemental Resistance then, but if that's maxed then leave Fury out.
You won't be using Buster and Fury much in 4th job because 1 point in Dark Impale replaces the two (pity too, I like the Dragon animations better).
Fury has slightly more utility than Buster thanks to it being faster and having more vertical range than Dark Impale.
We should be getting an SP reset in a patch or two, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Thanks a ton! One problem is that I already have dragon buster maxed out, because that's what was best 4 years ago (strangely enough, my dragon fury reset to 1 point). So what would you suggest I leave out in third job instead? Sacrifice is also maxed out.
It's in the guides on the top of this subforum.

You definitely want to max Final Attack, FA works with most skills now.
Leave out Ground Smash and Dragon Buster in 2nd and 3rd job respectively.
