Capped my martial artist skill with Kai. At 1991 skill level my gains came to grinding halt at void floor level 600. The reason being that the enemies actually didn't have enough evasion to grind it out any further. That's a scary thought because the enemies down here are nearing their skill and attribute caps such as the Atlas in my pic. From here on out, I expect their levels, hp, mp, and resists to grow. Since I was so close to cap with MA I decided to finish it off with bonus points instead of hunting down the monsters that would allow me to finish out the grind.

I've concluded a couple of things. To cap melee skills, not just martial arts, you need to eventually go to void or possibly do awakened dungeons. You also need to go very far into them whether that be dungeon level or depth. There just isn't any escaping that fact. I've also concluded that all of the melee skills can be trained down here with melee skills probably being the easiest followed by eye of mind. Tactics is the hardest skill to increase. Only thing that works for me consistently is gauge attacks making it really slow to level. Main reason why mine is as high as it is is through bonus points from leveling or AP. If I didn't have those bonus points Eye of Mind would of beaten out tactics a long time ago.

The best enemies to train down here on are ones that can heal. That will remain true for a long time but around 1,700 MA I had a real problem with my attacks just doing way too much damage that their heals couldn't keep up. For awhile, I was actually keeping my enemies on life support by entombing them with me and just spamming knockout just to level my skills. It's much slower leveling of skills but considering the alternative was me one shoting enemies this was much better. Need a nice stamina pool or a good way to recover it because you'll want to spam knockout.

Now to focus on raising my speed and then turning my attention to killing Opatos for his axe. I could use the strength increase from that axe that which will give me a higher damage multiplier.
