Snatch

If SI doesn't really help yourself as much as it helps everyone else...and the duration is pretty long at level 1...do you think we should start on something else and leave SI at a lower level? Or would that hinder getting into parties/bossing too much?

At lvl 11 I believe it only helps DKs, 2H heros, marksmen, and pallys. That's a very small majority of MSers. Leaving it at lvl 1 still benefits all of them, but already fully benefits shadowers, marauders, and 3rd job bowmen. Any party will take you for having lvl 1 wind booster and 1 time leap.
