Pondering early 4th job strategy

Are lower levels of CL useful at all? I'm thinking of putting that 1 point in it as a quick way to lure monsters (such as wandering nest golems), and then ID and Ifrit as a way to soften up neutral or resistant monsters for higher damage per minute.

Training with blizzard would be cheaper than that. Nest golems are a terrible thing to lure and to use ID would just slow you down. Nest golems can attack from almost off screen and not only does ID not hit that far, low level ID hardly freezes them; the 1 second freeze will end by the time you get in close enough range to ice strike or w/e.

And ifrit is terribly blind unless recent patches made it "see" further.
