Stolen Skill Guide

[Header]Intro[/header]
Ok... I am fed up with people creating Stolen Skill guides when they haven't even played Phantom. I play KMS as well as GMS and just frankly, some of the skills aren't that great for Phantom

[skill=archer=arrow blow] [b]ER[/b]

[header]1st job Explaination[/header]
[skill=Warrior=Iron Body] is [b]EG[/b] is recommended because of Phantoms bad defense at first job. It can contribute to a loss of damage which is highly beneficial to Phantoms.Why [skill=magician=magic guard] is [b]ER[/b]? it is because it wastes a lot of MP although the thought was great to steal it, it generates a lot of pot wastage therefore can cost a lot of pots.

[header]2nd Job Explanation[/header]
Karma is a great skill when maxed, It brings a nice boost to your character (+30 Att +what ever). Definitely get this skill. Threaten is also a very awesome skill when bossing because it is bossible that bosses may be evil to you if you don't get this. Thunder Bolt is actually the awesomest mobbing skill that you will ever encounter! Although it is wasteful in MP, it does increase Mobbingness and even though the Phantom Skills have more attack, this is just purely better at mobbing. x3 and 6 mobs, now who wouldn't want that? If you can't get Karma, get Rage or Bless just don't get mental clarity! Meditation is useless unless you're a poo... Savage Blow is good for 1v1 attacks and shuriken burst is ok.

[skill=priest=dispel] [b]EG[/b]
[b]May need some editing because of thief revamp[/b]

[header]3rd Job Explanation[/header]
My god! Who wouldn't choose [skill=crusader=magic crash]? You'd be out of your mind if you didn't choose this! [skill=crusader=combo attack] is also an awesome skill that can boost your Attack. Everyone knows what [skill=white knight=combat orders] does so I don't think there is any explanation there and the rest you know why it is there

So... Power Guard better, yes?

What exactly does Karma do? I was under the impression that it did the EXACT same thing as Rage, except possibly only self-buff. But thread-starter says Karma is better?

[quote=SpiritOfMir]hmm... that's weird. Why would there be two power guards?[/quote]

...cause they're two different classes, and wk branch is intentionally tankier than sader branch?
EDIT: Trol. "power guard" is a page skill. "power reflection" is a fighter skill. Sec, checking on my fighter.
EDIT: Confirmed. "power reflection" is the name of the fighter skill.
The reason for difference lies in the reflection power. Power reflection reflects 500% damage, blocking 20% damage. Power Guard reflects 100% damage, blocking 50% damage. They're suited for different purposes.

[quote=santhean]HS says power guard for pages is 50%, power guard for fighters is 30%. not sure if this is true, as HS is fairly unreliable[/quote]

[quote=Iamprophet]no. power guard is now 30% only Meso guard is 50% now

and the meso you loose is pretty much laughable,

I don't think I lost even close to even 50k on my hero after playing for 2 days[/quote]

[quote=Iamprophet]meso guard should have been EEEEEEEEEEEEEEGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG x 10000

Meso Guard paired with phantoms insane dodge rate would practically make him invincible.[/quote]
Wouldn't Power Guard be better?... 50% absorption or something and you don't lose mesos, you reflect 100% damage. o_O
