Question about 3rd job build?
Hey guys, i'll be hitting 60 on my F/P Wizard in around a day or so and I was wondering while looking at the Skill distribution guide, which 3rd Job build is more beneficial: Explosion first, or Poison Mist first? I was thinking of going Poison Mist first (I love poison in RPGs), but then I noticed that Explosion helps you train faster at places like the Ghost Ship and other fire weak mobs faster. Other than that I am stumped and would love some help choosing which build I can go.
Thanks!

Like most everyone said, max out Explosion. If you have an SP reset scroll, use it after 4th job(pretty much useless after that, you'll be using Fire Demon for fire after that point)
[quote=IImaplers]Should I include a "Fire Demon first" build? It has it's benefits, although I think Explosion has the slight edge in 3rd job due to its massive range. What do you guys think?
OT: I'd say it may depend on where you will train. If you'll train at heavily crowded maps such as Jesters or Aliens, Mist might save you lots of headache by deterring KS-ers as @Ouhai pointed out. On the other hand, Explosion is great for places like MP3 or Galloperas because a lot of them are fire-weak.[/quote]
Adding a Fire Demon build would be pretty cool, so people see the benefits of it as well.
Also from the feedback, I think going explosion seems to be better for my personal playstyle seeing as I do not train at the popular maps like Jesters or Aliens. Thanks so much for your feedback everyone!

I'd say explosion/fire demon first, as they have more versatility. And just like what was said above, fire demon is a fantastic skill to start out with as well since it's only 10 sp to max and has a way faster cast time than explosion (unless using an evil wings/pyrope mushroom/ele staff)
On the otherhand, maxing poison mist first might not give you great mobbing skills in small maps, but it gives you the complete edge over EVERYONE when securing a large map/highly ksable places. It's the very skill that makes f/ps one of THE best KS dfenders.
