Uhm, major issue with skill builds out now

So I'm here at fourth job and I'm surprised nobody has noticed that instead of "Cygnus Knights" skill in the WA guide, we have Bow Expert. That completely screws up the skill build for fourth job; Bow Expert is definitely better than Trifling Whim but should it be maxed before Wind Blessing? Hmmm... And another thing: why would you max Pinpoint Pierce when Dance of the Frozen Wind/Sentient Arrow is more useful for training later on; Pinpoint Pierce gets completely replaced in fourth job.

Edit: I think the build for fourth job just needs to be better clarified...

[quote=TheDStar]People max Pinpoint Pierce because they think it gives you a 20% damage debuff on all skills.

However, you shouldn't max it because it only increases the damage of Pinpoint Pierce.[/quote]

Well then... I just royally screwed up my skill build... And I'm STILL confused about the fourth job build; the two are completely different...

Edit: @Exumaii Well the first skill build put a REALLY high priority on Spiral Vortex; I'm wondering why you chose to max it pretty later on. And why did you flip Wind Blessing and Sharp Eyes compared to the first build?

Edit: I mean it seems like KMS is still missing a solid fourth job skill build; we need someone like @ryuushinou to calculate out which skills provide maximum damage output.

I am using the SP build from 1st to 3rd (I'm almost at 4th actually, but that is how I assigned my existing points), and in 4th, I am going to go Albatross Max>Bow Expert>Wind Blessing>Sharp Eyes>Spiral Vortex>Trifling Whim>Song Of Heaven>Cygnus Knights.
