Weekly may be a better option for catching bugs, clearing server side memory leaks, the like.
However weekly resets might also place extra strain/costs on a company that is already bleeding money.
Nexon knows more about what is going on and has a better view of what is best for Maple in this regard imo.
While I personally think weekly resets are ultimately better, there may be unseen factors which prevent Nexon from doing so.

AyumiLove's skill build guides are most of the time perfectly usable in my opinion, at least while levelling a new character. However, you are absolutely right about the ad issue. Even with ad block, there can sometimes be weird pop-under ads, so adding the site to your browser's JavaScript blacklist is recommended. If you are using Google Chrome the blacklisting can be done from chrome://settings/content/javascript. However, if you find another site with as complete skill build information, I'd recommend using that instead..

The guides are nice for new characters, sure. The only time I'd use it is to make sure it's not one of those characters that doesn't get enough SP to max all pre-4th job skills.
Other than that, due to the scummy ad practice, I'd avoid like the plague.

One source I like to send new people to is KyoWantsCute's "So you wanna be a class" series.
He rambles on sometimes due to not having a script in advance, but he covers all the skills (usually) and also tries to explain any class mechanics to the best of his ability.

The videos can run a bit long, so I'd only watch them if you're unsure on a class.

Good post Riza. Now can you do it again without the anti-Reboot rhetoric?
It's fine if you dislike reboot, but don't try to pretend normal servers aren't just as bad. You even admit it yourself.

Thanks for learning how to format. I can actually read these posts now.

As for Reboot vs non, I prefer non since I'm a huge merch-er, love buy lowing and selling high, etc etc.
If you end up not joining Reboot, feel free to join my guild and me on Scania. #shamelessplug

You can also do this while playing reboot if you have enough funds to play the market on a normal server.
Though it will take longer and you're probably better off just picking one over the other, it can be fun to JUST mess with the market as a reboot player.
Think of it like steam trading cards, not worth much, but every once in a while you can get a a few dollars worth of NX.

I guess it depends on class, mostly. I never saw a use for it on a dual blade, as said dual blade has whatever that one v skill is, blades of destiny or something?

I don't believe it can be used in-air on any class. So it's more useful on teleport based classes imo.
Alternatively classes that don't have good vertical reach like bowmen.
