    ive been trying to find a guide for bowmen from 1st to 4th job and the only one seems to be posted from another website in 2015. Im not clear if i should put skill points into final damage or not and the guide does not really make it clear why. Some say max it others say put none. Is there a good place that i can find this information?

    Don't put any points into final damage, that's available for all classes. It will only lower your damage.

    Do not put points in final attack. It's a passive 60% chance to, after you use arrow blow, double shot or arrow bomb, automatically lets your character fires off a second attack that does single target damage.

    -The "free" attack is only slightly faster to come out than just manually attacking twice in a row.
    -The "free" attack has lower average damage than even Arrow Blow, never mind Double Shot.
    -Because of the above two points, this means final attack will actually lower your average DPS compared to just firing non-stop double shots.
    -A passive chance to take up more time during an attack also means you have less control over your character. This isn't exactly an issue during 1st job and 2nd job period since nothing you can fight at this point will really pose such a danger that you need to actively position yourself, but it's still annoying.
    -And more importantly, the "free" attack will still come out when you're trying to hit a group of mobs with Arrow Bomb, wasting time to do single-target damage when you want to attack multiple targets. This part is extremely, extremely annoying and back on GMS made me quit and remake an archer because of it.
    -To cap all of that off, you can't turn off the skill once you learn it. It's always on (though thankfully it doesn't trigger with any skill from 3rd job or above)

    So Final Attack is basically a 30 SP investment that actually makes your character weaker and more annoying to play. Do not go there.
