Whats the range of Shuriken, Wind, and Clone attac

Sup guys i messed up my skill build for my NL abit, giving him maxed gust strike before realizing that its 350 kb at lvl 1. Also that means i have 11 shuriken blast, and i forgot that i could put points into that instead of putting it into TT, so i ended up with lvl 11 TT, lvl 11 Shuriken, and Lvl 20 Wind. Now I don't really care for any of those skills, because i realize i have a mobbing skill at 3rd job that i maxed out with higher dps. That clone attack thing, and it hits 6 mobs instead of 4. So did i really mess up my mobbing abilities in MS for good on my NL? Or do those 2nd job skills have like almost no benefit for my NL?

Direct/range is half the battle, though.
Shuriken also attacks faster and deals significant damage. It's still a very viable skill in 4th job just as much as it is in 3rd and 2nd. Considering Shade Split's limited range, it's much more reliable when attacking a mobbed group of 2-3 crockies, for example, at LHC from a distance than to get within their attacking range, especially if you can kill them in relatively the same amount of time as with Shade Split.

That being said, I don't think it matters much if you have it at level 11 or maxed, TS. If we get another full SP reset scroll sometime in the near future, then it'd be a viable option to reset and max it out, but at the moment it shouldn't hinder your training.

It won't mess you up, so don't worry about it. You could also change it with future SP Resets if you really think it'll be a problem.
