I got 5 DS and then started maxing Barrage. I'm not sure if I'm going to straight max Barrage then DS or get Barrage to a certain level and then max DS. I'm thinking 20 Barrage then DS. I train at Newties so I don't really need a max DS atm. All I use DS for is to finish off the <1000 HP left and/or to do some damage to nearby Newties.Dragon Strike doesn't need many targets to out-damage barrage :f6:
But that's just me
Really, 21 Dragon Strike is a priority in my opinion. Being 3x the strength of blast at max level (on 6 targets) and having a gigantic range is pretty darn nice.
Think of it this way, you could OHKO any monster with DU-Barrage, but then again within that same time frame you could have taken down a mob to under 50% health with DS.
I do agree you shouldn't just straight out max DS without adding more than 1 point in anything. I just would want 21 DStrike, because at that level you have all the targets, and at the extra target levels you get a significantly higher % boost as well. After 21 DS level 10 or 20 barrage'd be nice, since that would be pretty reliable for 2-hitting most monsters, so I agree with that.
