Phantom Skill Swipe Post Red
It looks to me that the skills I stole previously (AB, HB, HS, Magic Guard and Combo Attack) are getting some changes, I see that HB and AB are getting their max level dropped, I couldn't find Combo Attack other than a new one with a mastery of 1, Magic Guard seems like is wasn't changed much if at all and HS wasn't mentioned at all. So My question is, do you think AB and HB will be just as powerful as they have been, but now easier for their respective classes to max, or do you think that with the max level of those skills dropped they'll also be weaker? What do you plan on stealing once the RED First Impact update is over?

oh bby, I'm do psyched. so, what attack skills are better than easton now?
@d34thr4y99: It's a waste of space honestly, like a party of phantoms is a party of high avoid. You could always just steal Magic Crash.
+ Read my post I said Solo Phantom
@Imaginal: i ment using freezing breath as bind skill, if it's the same as kms, while using it you take no damage, that includes dr, i'm suggesting a party of phantoms with freezing breath to constantly bind the boss...
@d34thr4y99: You cannot attack while using freezing breath. Yeah I meant arrow blaster, mixed up the names.
and I don't think FJ in Dark Sight is just a Adventurer Theif specialty
@daytek: Never mentioned it can attack through DR, I just said to use against DR bosses because you can actually stop attacking
[quote=daytek]FC doesn't cut through DR ... Does it? O_O Thought only Kaiser + I think DS have attacks that can cut through DR ...[/quote]
The installed version of Arrow Platter can be difficult to remove in time for some players to prevent DR, so Final Cut would be better in that case. Final Cut is probably better for training as well.
@daytek: Just mentioned that because you said only kaiser and ds
[quote=ObvNotBeii]1st Magic Guard
2st Rage
3rd Cross-over-chains
4th Arrow Blaster (name may be wrong, Aka- Arrow Platter, Arrow Stream( it's essentially having 2 hurricanes at the same time that do more damage than that current hurricane and also i believe it procs carte , so, Cards, Everywhere.[/quote]
Rage would cancel out magic gaurd because you can't have two damage reduction skills.
OT: this

Fire poisons used to be able to ignore DR with their lvl 150 hyper and lvl 170 hyper but it's glitched right now.
@BravePotato
sharp eye's is still there, it's just not worth getting when you can put 3rd job skills in 4th job such that rage+cross surge+hs is best training combo and bossing it's rage+cross surge+whatever your final skill is which most likely be final cut or arrow platter, for me, personally, final cut since i have s merc char card(-4% cd), s mech char card(+15% buff duration) and +7% buff duration
also traits should've been changed(not shown in update notes) such that the effect of increasing quest experience is changed to increased buff duration (1% for every 10 levels) which makes it easy for people to get that 50%
[quote=BravePotato]Did they remove Sharp Eye for the archers or change it to something else?
I plan on stealing HS, HB and some cannoneer and DB skills just to try them out.[/quote]
archers now have hyper skill passive for sharp eyes

@Imaginal
isn't rage ment to be updated to replace the need of pg & meso guard(pg's removed which is right but changes to rage like in kms weren't mentioned)
you mean arrow blaster for 4th job right?
dark sight was ment to be changed such that no speed reductions and avoids the orbs such as in magnus also u can fj without dispelling dark sight(not sure if phantom swiftness works that way as well)
also freezing breath might be a good if it works on bosses
Solo Phantom
1st Job - Haste & whatever you want
2nd Job - Rage, Meso Guard, Hyper Body & Whatever you want
3rd Job - Cross Surge "Berserker Skill, Holy Symbol & Whatever you want "Combo Attack is gone just forget about it, Cross Surge is infinitely better + Holy Symbol just got an skill appearance change"
4th Job - Arrow Blaster "To use against bosses that don't have DR", Final Cut "To use against bosses with DR"
You can place Arrow Blaster down as a turret "turret procs DR though", And you know Final Cut
Not sure if you can steal combo attack now since the skill needed for orbs is a fighter specialized skill. But for 3rd job buff maybe steal Cross surge (new 3rd job berserker skill).
