Shadowers and Meso Explosion

I wanna ask all of you shads, do you still use ME?

I'm planning to skip the last two points of ME (currently lvl 18) to max shield mastery (currently lvl 8). i barely use ME now (i prefer BoT or assaulter, i use ME only against KSers, and if that doesn't work, i use my MM to retake my channel) so i thought that'd be a nice idea since i get hit for a LOT less with lvl 8 SM, and 20% more def doesn't sound too bad.

Also, is there any use or dark flare? i might even leave it at 18 if you use ME in 4th job, but as i currently have it at lvl 1, plus i don't really use it since i don't stay in a single spot training, i've got not too much understanding of how it works.

If you're not going to max meso explosion, then don't even bother maxing meso mastery in 4th job.

@sumyounguy: i don't plan to boss on my CB until 130 or more, with a decent level of BS. i've got my MM for almost all of my bossing needs, except cHT and PB. also, as i mentioned, i do not use much ME in training. i train at gallos, where i OHKO with assaulter and 2HKO with BoT.

@SpikesCafe: the only skills i can take points off are ME and flare, since i've got the rest maxed, my build at lvl 113 being this:

- 1 dark flare
- 3 chakra
- 8 shield mastery
- 18 ME
- MAX PP
- MAX BoT
- MAX assaulter
- MAX SP
- MAX FJ
- MAX MG

i wanna take points off ME if it's not deemed too useful in 4th job, or from flare, since i don't deem it useful ATM unless someone proves me wrong. And i have no more SP resets, so i'm doing my final 3rd job build, thus i wanna do it right

You use ME A LOT in boss runs. Even if you don't boss a lot that move alone is powerful and useful. I used ME for 3rd job training quite often and only use it every now and then for 4th job since boomerang step pretty much runs through everything. I would definitely max ME. I don't like dark flare so I sacrificed points from that to max shield mastery but it's really up to you. Dark flare is a good skill but I just don't like it. I believe the cool down for dark flare at maxed is 60 seconds and lasts 60 seconds so it kind of is a big deal to max flare if you plan on using it.
