Piercing Storm is replaced in third job, so it does not need to be maxed. Physical Training is first assuming you need the STR to equip your next weapon. If you don't need the STR yet, max Mastery and Spirit first. Next comes Parting Shot and Rising Rush, followed by Final Attack. Boost early may look good on paper, but in practice it really doesn't help as much as your other skills at this point, so it's saved for later. You could always put 3 SP on it early for a 30 second test and see for yourself. Piercing Storm is last. If you get good with Parting Shot and Rising Rush, you won't be using it much anyway.

*Fourth Job Advanced Final Attack requires Level 20 Final Attack


Parting Shot may take some practice to use. If you have played a Battle Mage, you may have an advantage as it cast alot like their Finish Attack. If you are having trouble getting it to work, try pressing the Rising Rush button firm and deliberate, immediately followed by repeatedly tapping the Parting Shot button. 1 point is applied to these skills early so you can try it, but you won't see their real benefit on mobs that are taken out with 1 hit, you will start to appreciate Parting Shot more on higher HP mobs such as Jester. If you are still having trouble, or just don't like training with this skill, you can max Piercing Storm first instead.
