===Third Job===
There are several skills that are really good with only one SP, so start there! This is a build guide not training, but some explanation is warranted so you can better decide to follow or deviate from it. The Regular Build is aimed at the fastest solo training at premium locations. With one point on Quintuple Blow, Finish Attack (a First Job skill) is stronger and has more range now. Using Yellow Aura and Staff Booster, Quintuple Blow is incredibly fast.

First, apply 1 point on to Quintuple Blow and Advanced Dark Chain for a nice upgrade, then 1 point on Dark Shock. Even with the cooldown, it's a new skill with nice power. Teleport Mastery and Body Boost also work nice with only 1 point. Next max Battle Mastery for stability and higher minimum damage, followed by Quintuple Blow as this is still your primary attack. Next, comes Teleport Mastery. This gives more distance and does a stun attack at the same time which speeds training. Advanced Dark Chain is raised to 11 so it can hit/pull 8 which also speeds training. Dark Shock is a strong attack that comes in handy, but it follows the primary attacks because of its cooldown. Body Boost will increase the effects of your active aura. The order of these two could be swapped. 1 point on Summon Reaper Buff. It's pretty lame with only 1 point, but be honest, you know you are dying to try it! Next, max Conversion. It's costly with only 1 point, so max it right away. Advanced Blue Aura. It will improve your Blue Aura if you use it, but passively increase your abnormal status and elemental resistance even if you don't. Summon Reaper Buff may look and sound cool, but it does not speed training and does not need to be maxed. Max Advanced Dark Chain, or leave it at 13 and max Summon Reaper Buff. This build will be updated after the '''chaos''' update because the skills may change. Reaper damage and time is expected to increase. Lets all hope for another SP reset event!
