Ok, I'm a lvl 42 FS Assist. ^^
But I'm not sure which buffs I shoNuld raise/max.
A friend told me that when I become an RM, I should max all the Assist buffs. Is that true?
My current buffs are messed and I'm thinking of buying a reskill. (With Gpotato, not penya. Me poor XD)
Here are my current skills.

Heal - 15
MentalSign - 5
Patience - 10
Heap up - 16
Haste - 17
Beefup -
Res - 1
Circle Healing - 0
The one thats next to circle healing (cant remember name) - 0
Acc - 2
Cannon - 3

See? Screwed.
I'm currently pumping Cannon and Accuracy.

So? Should I buy reskill? Or keep going and max them all when I become RM?

I think they changed the skillpoints a while ago, so I don't know how many skillpoints you get. Hence, just a few remarks.

Patience is one of the most useless buffs. With my RM it was in the last group to master: it adds 210 hitpoints at lvl 20, which is next to nothing. Heal, Heap Up and Haste are popular buffs, so nothing wrong there if you have the points. Resurrection is one of the most useless skills later on (getting the exp box is much better), but IIRC you need Circle Heal as prereq for Ringmaster skills (but do check that before investing in CH). Circle Heal is useless.

Prevention is nice to have, but similar to Patience, I mastered it at the end (note that my RM is a V6, so no skillpoint limits. Just because I mastered everything doesn't mean you should or even can do the same). People do like Cannonball, although not as much as Haste, usually. Same for Beef; it does add some damage for weapon users, so they won't complain.

Accuracy is hard to evaluate; I've never seen a formula that would tell me how much the chance-to-hit actually improves. Same for evasion and Cat's Reflex.

Mental Sign is only for mages (and yourself, and maybe those poor Billposters), so it's not a particulary popular buff. +20 INT can be a pretty steep bonus for an AoE mage, though, and even my INT-Psykeeper noticed a slight difference...

Whether you should max ALL assist buffs depends on how many points you get. You'll want to max some RM skills, to...

As for recommendations... find out how many skillpoints you'll get as you proceed, or else you could just as well throw some dice.

Offhand, I can only see Patience as a "bad choice". But then, I would never shell out money for a reskill, even less since I played V6 and have seen their V7 "improvement" and how they lied to people.

Thank you for all the help :D I've decided I'm going to max haste, heap, beef and Cannon (Cannon helps for bow acros, I think =P.)
Seeing as I party with alot of mercs, I'm maxing beef as it is beneficial to me also. :D
I MIGHT max mental sign, as It will make my buffs last longer. ^^ After skills im going to get to about 10-15 ish.
