Priorities

Prioritize Dark ATK nodes first, followed by Skill DMG Cap and C.A. DMG Cap nodes to increase the damage of  Abacab800% Dark damage to a foe (Damage cap: ~1,160,000).

The rest points can be used on Charge Bar gain to quicken the pace to use Charge Attack along with Extended Mastery bonus to fill gap of the multi attack rate before EntrancedMultiattack rate is boosted based on Entranced lvl (Can't be removed)
is fully optimized. If you don't need anymore multi attack rate boost, go for one node in each attack and C.A damage if you haven't reach the cap.
