Phantom

What made you stay with Phantoms?

As we all know, phantoms do quite low dmg and what not, but we're getting buffed during RED.
My question to you is, what made you stay .. and not main a xenon for example?

My answer: Mille Aiguilles.

[quote=sp0ngeb00b]and may i ask where you read this off of ? phantoms should be getting buffs AFTER RED unless if you just made a mistake[/quote]

RED is an indirect buff. You also have 2 direct buffs pre RED. This is probably my 10th+ time I seen people confusing this

@sp0ngeb00b: Yes, it's indeed before RED. The RED update has nothing to do with Phantoms, we just get to steal new and better skills from the revamped explorers from RED. If you want me to, I can link you the changes or just paste it here.

[quote=alanron14]Phantoms look awesome, and i've always wanted to get mine to 4th job, but i got lazy at level 44
if i get mine to 3rd job, should i expect weak dmg?[/quote]

yeah basically until RED.
Phantoms get buffed.
We get to use arrow platter which greatly increases our DPM but i dont like the look of it :l

Yea I agree, Mille Aiguilles is sick but it would be nice if the range is longer. Now if Phantom has a similar skill like Assaulter from Chief Bandit post Big Bang, it would be awesome. <3

Their opness......no seriously.....i always found them to be strong lol. And the fact i can use different skills as i please which gives me a ton of utility even if i'm not the main dmg dealer at bosses, mobility like i miss shroud walk so much when i'm on other classes, Being able to attack with mille at bosses without being there by clicking off screen. Love having a keydown skill. Farming is great with pets and penombre.

[quote=ikickazzxd]@luxsolis, i do agree that i like HS and all the buffs but it's a tradeoff compared to if i had mained a kaiser and just buffed myself...
@thehater, what exactly about the gameplay tho? Just the fact that you can steal skills? I hear people regard phantoms as a unique job but nothing really specific.
I also liked the storyline. It was the first character i mained also when i came back. I researched all the new jobs and Phantom had an amazing storyline behind it and i was really amazed.[/quote]

Well the skills and playstyle allows you to be unique, while also always being useful. Which is something you can't say about
any other class. Even with all the skills, phantom is pretty classy and like some people I came back to ms when this class though
I mained it basically since I was hacked and I didn't feel like refunding the old ones sigh. But its a class that allows you to play a lot
of different styles and I really can't stress enough how useful phantoms are even with absolute 0 funds. But that's me at least,
master thief does have a nice ring to it though.

So much versatility, being able to do stuff I'd need other people to do for me. Add some funds then I got both versatility + damage.

lol i barely steal skills.
The skills i use usually stay the same so theyre kind of just like stagnant buffs to me.

I love the play style above all other classes. Its just all around fun. The fact that its kind of an under dog class right now is something I also really like.
