2nd job, put 1 point into triple swing, 6 points into body pressure, and then max triple swing.
I say to put the 6 points into body pressure, because that's 30% chance to cancel a mob's touch attack, which, your normal attacks ALSO trigger this buff, so you do touch damage, + attack + double swing + triple swing. thats 4 30% chances to negate. that gives you the best odds to not take touch damage, and will save you SO much on pots, even in CPQ. however, then you must max triple swing.
BP is useless at this level, you can pot right out of any attack easily, and it's not hard to pick up a pot in CPQ. TS, mastery and combo smash are MUCH more important at this level.
After triple swing max, max mastery. I say triple swing before mastery, because you'll probably be in CPQ during these levels, so you'll be able to hit almost everything no problem, especially if you already capped your dex.
Mastery first, then 7 TS. Mastery for the obvious damage stabilization issue, and because the accuracy helps tons when you're not able to access a scorpio or any other acc equips, and want to cap low.
I don't recommend putting ANY points into combo drain Unless you plan on maxing it soon. if you put any into it, max it next, because it SUCKS until later levels. 1% at lv 1, 7% at mastered. 7% leach on 1000 damage is 70, you might only do that much every few swings. Most of the time you'll be leaching like 5-10, until you get it maxed, at which case you can leach insane amounts. say you do 5000 in a swing, and hit all 12 you can, 7%, 350 per monster, 12 monsters, 4700 hp leached? 3 hits for 14000 leach. thats crazy. once you crack 1K consistently, and have this maxed, you might not need potions for a long time.
You get this 51-57, as soon as you hit 2% drain you can potless train in most spots.
After maxing triple swing and mastery however, you won't be consistently hitting for 1.5K, you'll probably be getting 400-800 per hit, with the occasional +1K. thats like 50 HP leach, while your taking possibly 200 damage, not worth it, I suggest maxing body pressure next to get it out of the way, because body pressure hits count for combos.
Saving points to max combo smash ASAP, no maxed TS til after 45.
that's about as far as I've gotten, i just hit lv 40 earlier today, so... thats where my room for commenting on the aran ends. I also don't know what levels you get skills at this point so.... i can't base anything on that.
