I'm not gonna count how much XP this takes, but I wouldn't be surprised if it rivaled the punch build just by dint of the sheer number of skills we have to level to fit all our socials on one line. It'd honestly probably be a better social build to stick with the 2-2 build from the step just before this last one and just make a 2-wide column to support it.
