Job Advancement as level 50.ua

Is it smart to make my job advancement right away? I wanna know if I'll have less SP then most marauders if I make my advancement
As a level 50 or should I just want until I'm level 60? And same question for bucc advancement should I advance at level 90?

[quote=MizuiChan]By advancing early, the priority of the skills from the point of the premature advancement up until the point where the level and skill points balances out is disrupted in favor of 3rd job skills up until the point when the player who advanced early actually accumulates enough "extra" SP to fully allocate to the skills they skimped on.�

Assuming that the player gives full priority to their 3rd job build in favor of completing their 2nd, the time that the player would begin to steadily build up the missing SP would be some time in the late 80's, taking 10 levels from then to accumulate all of the missing SP. Up until then, their 2nd-job skills would be lacking. It seems somewhat simpler to acquire the would-be "extra" SP as one regularly would from 50 to 60, as it would likely take less time to level than it would later.

Again, the problem is transient and does balance itself out in that frame of time, but avoiding the problem altogether suits the scenario a bit more. I guess it doesn't matter too much though...[/quote]

And why, exactly, would you assume that?

For a Brawler, this saves a few levels of emptily dumping points into Tornado Uppercut, which wouldn't happen until you were far into 4th job, saving 13 precious 3rd and 4th job points. You might not even decide to max HP Boost or Knuckle Booster until 3rd job.

Even if you still have 30 SP worth of important skills to max (definitely not in the case of a Brawler), you could still job advance to add 1 SP to your new attacking skill or other 1 point wonders while having nearly no effect on the maxing of your 2nd job skills.

[quote=MizuiChan]That's not quite what I meant, but I guess you do raise the point that any problems that would be inherently caused by a premature job advancement would be remedied eventually [/quote]

Why would there be problems?

[quote=MizuiChan]...Well, [i]assuming[/i] that it was possible to advance prematurely, I don't really see why anyone would want to miss out on the 30 or so second-job points, especially since most of our 2nd-Job skills are either essential, or extremely beneficial supportive buffs. There wouldn't be anything to offset the huge cut you'd be taking, and it simply wouldn't be worthwhile to jump such a short length merely for the convenience.[/quote]
