Aran 4th Job Bossing Sp Guide?

Heeey everyone, so i'm planning on bossing around lvl 140 and I was wondering on how i should allocate my SP for bossing. If i were to fight Zakum what skill should i be using? Final toss? or Overswing and Final Blow? And should I max afa first? or high mastery?

hm first. afa takes 2 mastery books while hm only takes one.
also, hm gives you more range than afa since you also get mastery with the wep att

[quote=Raiden]I'm not exactly sure on the math of OS vs FT. However...

SS will take only 10 SP to max compared to the 30 SP of OS and FB. After you max out SS, you can also start to work on HM and AFA which give a large attack boost.

But for Zak specifically, you will really want a decent level of FS. Otherwise, you'll get kb'd quite often on the top right arm.[/quote]

I'm exactly sure on the math for OS vs. FT. http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/2360232/0/Union_Osfb_vs_Os_vs_Ft__The_Math.html

OSFB is weaker than FT in general, but at Zak the %PDR helps a bit, and the increased range helps hit more arms every attack.
That being said, at 140, spending 10 points on FT for a comparable-or-better DPS makes much more sense than spending 60 points on OSFB, especially when at Zak you also have other priorities like FS (like you said ) and your +attack skills. HD helps, too.

Ohh, so i shouldnt really work on OS and FB at the moment? and just focus on SS, HM, and AFA? Right now my sp is: 1 OS, 1 HM, 20 FS, 10 SS, and 1 AFA. I'm currently lvl 135 and i have 15 SP saved. Should i put the 15 sp into AFA and HM? Or wait till i get FB and then start maxing fb and os?

I'm not sure on that one but a lot of people say that FT > OS if you can consistently spam it. I always do OS because it's easier.
