Question about final blow

I'm making an Aran and it'll be 4th job soon. I heard (quite a while ago) that final blow isn't worth using in the rotation since it's slow and the dps would be better made up with repeating overswing. Is that still the case? Should I omit final blow from my rotation, or is it actually useful now?

Were you looking for this old topic?

I think it's outdated, mind you.

Of course, if FB is only level 1, I think OS beats OSFB.

Simply put:
Before Hypers: Final Toss is best. Overswing+Final Blow is 2nd best.
After: Use Overswing+Final Blow+Beyonder

You will need it for Beyond Blade, which is the best attack after 170.

Toss is so boring.

Overswing+Final Blow beats Overswing alone in my opinion, and it's a lot more fun than just spamming Overswing over and over again.

You're not an Aran without Final Blow.

Also, the hyper skill Beyond Blade requires you to do a full rotation of Overswing + Final Blow, then you can use it.

the other school of thought being to use toss?
i personally have always preferred to use final blow even before the hyper skills so idk.
toss wasnt as fluid to use imo.

So it's not good to use regularly? That's a shame. Was hoping that'd changed.
