I'm assuming her explosion is 6 and her seal is 1. The others I know for sure.

In short, comp really sucks and is a waste of time to get. Amp > comp. Plus FA is faster. And it's not like you'll train on non-fire weak. And if you're fighting there, you'll have mist to use.

I wouldn't say comp is a waste to get. You basically have enough to max all but 30 points of stuff. Since you only need 11 booster, that's 10 free points to dump somewhere else. It really comes down to Partial Resist and Comp. PR is only useful if I'm fighting things that resist me, and comp is only good when fighting elementally neutral monsters. I'm not gonna fight things strong against me much ever, so I get 1 Partial Resist (23% less dmg for one point less in Mist is a good trade) and max comp. I won't need it except for bosses like Vicious Plant and Zakum, so getting it absolute last is my plan.

But uh, why does she have 19 amp? Is she just working on it right now or something? Honestly, I'm not too eager to max amp. I will prolly do it after Mist is 29 (with some in Seal, too, esp if one more in amp would make my MP cost shoot up), but I will hate the increased MP costs. Also, if I'm Mist'ing all the time I won't really need high damage except when fighting bosses, and I'd rather have higher Seal for that anyway. And really, seeing what Flen did in his video at Vikings (just doing circles around the map re-misting everything) looks like an insanely efficient way to train. After the first pass, every time you go through you'd be 1hk'ing everything you go past as you recast Mist around the platform, then you just walk away and let them be poisoned as they spawn in. I will like that, but I'ma stick with my plan and get Explosion first cuz I WANT IT SO BAD.

But yeah, comp won't be needed until stuff like Zakum comes out, and I wouldn't think about going there till 120+ anyway, so I don't care if I don't max comp till then.

PS: I have yet to kill JRog.
