Comment on my CB build

I guess saying Eruption instead of mist would have been a better example.

Anyways, If you're using chakra for goofing off or traveling, then whats wrong with just LvL 3 chakra? Does it really need to be maxed if you're goofing off with it?

CatBoy from SW had a ShiningRayLess guide for bishops because they get genesis in 4th job. Why max shining ray when you can get doom instead right??? its so much more fun!! Yah its also so much more useless. Kind of like chakra. You don't need anymore than a few points in doom, and you dont need anymore than a few points in chakra.

Atleast PP can be used as a finisher and an initial hit like i mentioned earlier. Unlike some people, I actually loot the mesos I get from monsters instead of Xploding them (thats what PP is for). Sure you can make the argument, well you have BOT. If that's the case, then Meso bomb is also useless since you dont have any mesos on the ground anyways, and you're using BOT instead of bombing anyways. If you want to talk about goofing off with chakra, well how about using PP to make a sea of mesos in HHG and getting free fame for it? I actually did it this morning and got famed 4 times because i had a sea of mesos at the bottom.

PP can be used in 4th job when venom doesnt finish off a monster. Sure you can just BStep the monster who has 1 hp left, but then you cant cast BStep again because of its cooldown. Atleast with meso bomb + PP you can deal that last 1 dmg to the monster youre training on and use BStep in the other direction.

Have you ever had a bonefish use super defense on you without even having enough HP left to see green on their HP bar? Happens to me about once every 2 mins. I'm only 3rd job and i dont have any range attacks other than meso bomb, and thats exactly what i use as a finisher when im far away.

chakra isnt exactly as useless as doom. even now i use chakra when im away from a monster and have little hp, it saves me a pot every now and then. its also useful in terms of actual training per say, in terms of participating in perhaps a lower leveled map with significantly weaker monsters than accustomed to. example being training at a lower leveled area with a friend. instead of using pots chakra will constantly heal you especially with the additional boost it has recieved. having 3 points in chakra is more than fine, but at max it has a 300% recovery, easily allowing you to train with friends etc at weaker monsters without using a single pot.

using pp as a finisher or initial hit is hardly plausible, because the fact of the matter is any hit with another skill just does way more damage. the damage from the pp as an initial hit or finisher is such a bare minimum its hard to even consider. this does not render meso explosion useless as you tried to cover in your argument because the main use of meso explosion was for bossing, not for training. your initial understanding of my "goofing off" phrase is a bit flawed, as i was speaking more in terms of training at a lower leveled area with friends, hunting for drops, etc rather than walk around killing snails and using chakra.

the lack of usefulness from pp is hard to witness, unless first hand. ask any shadower if they use it after 4th job and their answer will be no. in fact most shadowers dont even have it on their keyboard.
