Night Lord skills

Alright i have made just about every class in this game but none had made me as unsure as the Night Lord Class. Most classes have a clear order that you should max there skills to be most efficient and most have skills that are almost useless. However every single one of night lords skills are important. its like deciding if i want more damage and be squishy until lv 160 or do i want to have more defensive capablilities and lose out on damage until later on. You guys have any suggestions on what to max first (from personal experience)

I made my NL a long time ago (got to fourth job days after the update that removed avenger, whichever one that was) so it was easy even for unfunded people to OHKO mobs 10 levels above them. Since I didn't need to boost my attack I maxed all my defensive skills and buffs first. Shadow shifter, night lords mark, claw mastery, dark harmony. After those were all level 10 or higher I started to focus on QT and showdown. Frailty curse is nice once you get the hyper that makes it affect bosses, but until you can get that I wouldn't really bother with leveling it up. And sudden raid is fairly useless now. If you're funded and can OHKO mobs above your level I would recommend this, it makes it easier to boss. Also max QT if you are planning on bossing.

The build I'm following for my Night Lord seemed to have been pretty decent. I've not run into any problems so far.

I added 1 into Quad Star, Claw Expert, Toxic Venom and Shadow Shift.
I put Shadow Shifter up to 10, then maxed Showdown (Max Level 20), that EXP and DROP rate buff is great!
After that I maxed the following in order:
Night Lord's Mark (Max Level 10)
Claw Mastery
Dark Harmony
Toxic Venom
Shadow Shifter
Maple Warrior
Quad Star
Frailty Curse
Hero's Will
Sudden Raid

For Hyper skills, I guess the best would be:
Quad Star: Extra Throw, Boss and Reinforce
and Showdown: Enhance and Reinforce or Frailty Cure: Boss Rush.

Just so you know, Showdown: Spread does not currently work. You still hit a max of 6 mobs with the hyper unlocked, so it doesn't do anything for Night Lords, sadly
