In Big Bang, should I still get Brandish?

As you know, Brandish gets bumped into 3rd job.
But since I'm already a high level, do you think it's wise of me to not get Brandish and just get something else since Brave Slash will/could be my main attack?

@AdroxNight: Okay. Decision is set for no Brandish for me then. Thanks. ^_^

@AdroxNight: You can leave shout at level 1, unless they made the range longer. But, you can max shout and magic crash, too. I won't judge you for it. I was thinking bout making a hero, but I just wanna make a DrK for sure. I think heroes are sick, but, man, for meI'll make me a DrK.

@AdroxNight: I never see warriors ever use shout...I wouldn't call that "useful" if you max out brandish, you can use brandish AND brave slash to show off, etc. with good damage. Magic crash I can understand, not shout.

@AdroxNight: Yeah, I replace Thunder Spear for Chain Lightning in fourth job, but that's just for an elemental boost in third job...which I don't really need, so I'm maxing Thunder Spear anyways. I guess magic crash is useful, but MP recovery isn't that useful, I think. And if shout has the same range as before, then that's really useless. You can't max all the essentials and magic crash and brandish?

@RazorNion: I don't know what magic crash is really useful for, though. I don't see people every using it. Maybe lv. 1 to show off. The MP thing won't matter, either, if you can just buy the pots. If it was me, i'd just max brandish. either that, or just wait it out and see if magic crash is actually useful. I don't think it is cuz heros kill really fast.

@darklime: Of course I can't save but the problem lies within 3rd job SP in certain skills. I won't be able to max out all the skills for sure in 3rd job, but if I skip Brandish I can max something else like... Improve Max MP or Magic Crash since I would be using Brave Slash more often.

Not sure if people agree with me on this or if it won't screw me over when BBP comes.

@RazorNion: Maybe. People been talking about a guy with Green in their ign. And, Brandish and Brave Slash are in two completely different jobs. So, you can max out both. O-o it's not like you can save 3rd job points for 4th job.

[quote=fallendragn]uh, how about go merchant and F....... no need to worry about pots. I'd rather just go max out my every other 2nd class skill then.[/quote]

By every other 2nd class skill, do you mean Ground Smash? Just another useless attacking skill. Everything else would be maxed by 3rd job.

[quote=fallendragn]Why the heck would you get MP recovery... [/quote]
..because there's nothing else to max? Better than another attacking skill you'll never need to use at all.

@darklime: Well like you said, I'm considering ditching Brandish for Brave Slash entirely.
And what do you mean by "godly guy"? Perhaps you're mistaking me with another person

@RazorNion: Fundamentals is 2nd job. Honestly idk what to max, fundamentals or ground smash. probably smash for me lol. Do you need magic crash badly? And is improving max mp recovery while standing or is it while you're moving too? Also, aren't you that godly guy everyone keeps talking about? O-o I don't think you would need those 2 moves THAT badly lol.

[quote=itsbryan]you can max something small, and become a little bit more efficient. OR max brandish [i may be wrong] but in the barlog expedition you can only use 3rd job skills on hard or w/e right?[/quote]

You can only use 2nd job skills or below.

[quote=darklime]Why not max it? What else do you need to max. I was thinking of not maxing Thunder Spear for Elemental Resistance, because I'm a high level. But, I thought Skill > elemental resistance. So I get hurt a little more, I have lots of survivability![/quote]

I wanted to max other skills like probably magic crash or improve max MP because improve fundementals comes in at 3rd job or was that 2nd.

I know. I'm just asking since I'm getting Brave Slash, should I put no points into Brandish at 3rd job and put it into something efficient?
