Does Finisher increase or decrease our overall damage?

Should you use the Finisher attack on bosses? Training? I'm a little confused on when and when not to use it. Thanks!

@lTheShadower: Thats only worth to do on bosses only. If you are training where you should be 1 blow + telecast should do the trick (You can even add the use of Chains).

Spamming Blow+Finisher its faster than Blow+Blow... At least mathematically (Final Blow its 930ms normal speed and finisher its 600ms normal speed).

But yes for training its better to Blow + Telecast than to Blow + Finisher most of the time.

I can't tell you on bosses but for training it really depends on the amount of hits you take to kill the monster. I've found that if I can use 1 5b + finisher while teleing it's faster than using 2 5b.

Use it when you just job change when the new blow skill is at level 1~5.

Finisher + Blow is faster than Blow + Blow so it depends on when you are 1hitting or 2 hitting.

Bear in mind the Finisher ignores 20% PDrate and upgrades itself as you use a more powerful . It is also more surceptible to lag spikes than straight out spam, or so I've found.

I find it to slow for grinding, but bossing its good. I do at least 10k per blow with another min. 20k with finisher on top. So i guess its up to you, i just telecast when training
