Hermit Questions could use some help

so i have some questions quite important to me with all of the changes, and i've been a bit out of the Forum loop on SW and basil, so here it goes:

1. From what i understand, skill books (TT10, VS10 etc...) are no longer needed, only TT20/TT30 respectively are. Is that the case now?

2. Skills have changed up drasticly, Avenger can now pump out more damage than L7 per hit if you have a decent mob. Also, Hermits can now attack at close ranges, Does this make Ninja Ambush useless?

3. Dark Flare... that is all... Personally i love it, and i'm curious to know something that interested me. Say you have a dark flare down, and you hit an enemy that has damage reflection up, would the progression go: Hit, Reflection, Flare Reflection 1300%, Reflection tries to hit flare and fails?

4. Training borders insanity now, but has anyone considered other monsters? Gallos are great, as are Vikes, but what about Ninto? 4k exp for 81k hp or so, and it's lvl 100, so training is like 95+. Is that even plausible?

5. Where do our mastery books drop now? TT30, VS20, etc....

Thanks in advance.

#1. All skills from quests are automatically given to you at 4th job. You still need to get TT 10 from Zak because Zak is not a skill quest. All of the level 10 skillbooks that are dropped by Zak remain intact. For new NL's, this will be troublesome as Zak is currently glitched as with many other "summoned via item" bosses.

#2. Ninja Ambush has always been a useless skill for NL's, 'Nuff said.

#3. Personally, I haven't tested this yet, but I don't think our Dark Flare would be able to "mirror force" an already reflected damage by the enemy. Dark Flare only reflects via enemy touch, or enemy magic. A chain reaction in this case wouldn't be possible.

#4. Not sure if those Ninto in Kaede were nerfed, but there are only about 2-4 that spawn in that one or two maps, so it's not a viable option as a training spot.

#5. TT 30 is from Rextons, Buffoons & HT. Venom 20 is from Viks & C-Rog. Rest of the list should be somewhere on Basil. If not, just ask.
