You should skill ds skip arts 100% since the skip arts versions of PAs all have specific uses that you won't get with input versions
-Qasar skip arts is a nice aoE with okay damage and a parry tacked in, which makes it great to deal with trash mobs without having to reposition and/or switch to wand.
- Saber Destruction skip arts is great for doing decent DPS while staying in place and is pretty PP efficient.
- Shooting star skip arts is a very accurate projectile. An absolute must vs most luminmechs (lets you hit their weakpoint very easily as long as you're not too far away from the locked-on target)
- Celestial Collide skip arts is just good since full animation is super lengthy, and sometimes you want that quick burst before targets get away, and since the skip arts version is way faster you can hit your target more reliably
In the end you also tend to only use the initial part of input version of PAs (like you cancel input Qasar as soon as you closed the gap most of the time, and you can also cancel the first part of shooting star and collide in rotation for fast DPS + gear bulding). All of this makes DS very strange and hard to use at first but you get used to it after a while, and it makes the weapon very flexible too !
Completely up to you !Oh and when wearing easy full connect ring and using full connect with a full gear gauge, do you still empty the whole gauge?
