Phantom

Phantom inner ability question

So I'm going to be accumulating a lot of honor ability points on my Phantom. Unlike other jobs, Phantoms don't really need atk speed +1 and as such, I sometimes don't even use cane booster in the middle of boss fights unless there's a real pause which allows me to arbitrarily buff it. (I don't own SI thief gloves either)

What should I get?
Atk speed +1 is useless to a Phantom.
My %critical is already 100% and I don't need anymore.
My %boss is high so I don't need any from inner ability either.
+1 mobs hit is not good for me.
%drop rate is nice but I'd rather get that on a 2nd line. First line is often 20% drop rate. Second line can end up with like 14% item drop rate so I don't see a point on wasting the 1st line.
I could aim for 50% buff duration on the first line. Opinions on this?

My current inner ability is 32% buff duration unique. Should I even bother to raise this?
In the patches that were recently released in KMS, all job buff animation delays were reduced so %buff duration isn't exactly necessary either.

I have this same question about my wild hunter and everything stated here also applies to that job.
Thanks in advance.

Buff duration is great! Especially with the new Buff Freezers from Matilda's shop. The thing most people don't realize is that buff duration also works for Runes and Guild Noblesse skills.

[quote=SadVirgin]Buff duration is so useful idk how I ever survived without it. Trying to get the 50%.
Even with lower animation delays, buffing is still horrible when you have a million buffs to get through.[/quote]

Agreed

Just get %drop rate on all 3 lines. Everything else seems pretty useless for you.
