What skill would you steal as a phantom?

Well from what i know is that every time you job advance you get to steal one skill from a explore class(Cannoneer/DB not included) when play phantom.
SO, what would you guys take?

1st job: Magic Guard(a kind of hp wash)
2nd job: Power Guard(get rip of 1/1, reduce damage taken by half)
3rd job: Combo Attack(for damage)
4th job: Rapid Fire(for damage too:/ )

1st job: Haste-(Speed), Iron body-(Phantom have low defense), Flash fist-(For close range), Double shot-(For a long range).
2nd job: Heal-(Awesomely useful skill), Cold beam-(Freeze enemies), Hyper body-(For more defnese), Wings-(For fun when I fall).
3rd job: Holy symbol-(For the EXP), Dragon roar-(I want a '15 monster kill' skill at 3rd job), Shadow partner-(Double all of the above and more )
4th job: Genesis-(Stronger '15 monster killer' so I can replace "Dragon roar" for another cool skill), Hurricane-(Every phantom is completed with an 'Infinite attacking skill')

There is more like 2-3 from each class per tier

Also atm the only OP skill that phantoms can't steal is Shadow Partner

1st: If possible, Magic Guard.
2nd: Hyber Body or Meso Guard.
3rd. HS, for grinding obviously. Or the alternative, Combo Attack for bossing.
4th: Hurricane for bossing, SE for grinding.

Why do people want to steal magic guard? I don't see it that great of a defense skill since phantoms have the mp of a thief, not a mage
Would probably steal meso guard in 3rd I think it was if wanted a defense skill.

Yo Dawg, I herd you like stealing skills so we made a thief class which can steal skills while stealing skills and stole skills from yugioh.

[quote=demon681628]You do get to pick what you steal AND you get to keep it forever until you delete it from your Skill Management window. The only restrictions are you can only have one skill from each job tier at a time, you can only hold 4 first job skills, 4 second job skills, 3 third job skills, and 2 fourth job skills, you can not take any passive skills, if you take an attack or buff skill that has passive effects in it, those will not take effect and the skill levels must be similar. This means that if your steal is only 3, even if the skill you steal is maxed, you will only be able to use it as if it were level 3, and if your steal is maxed and the skill you steal is only level 3, you will only be able to use the skill as if it were level 3.

Do your homework people. OrangeMushroom FTW

EDIT: To answer the OP's question, I would take Haste(which by then will be a first job skill), Hyperbody, Holy Symbol, and Sharp Eyes.[/quote]

^this. I finally found some brain on basil.
Anyway, I would also consider Combo Attack

You can't steal shadow partner and critical shot.

[quote=Saltybandaid]1st job: HP boost.
2nd job: Power guard and Hyper Body
3rd job: Combat orders, Holy Symbol, and shadow partner
4th job: Berserk and advanced combo attack.[/quote]
You can't steal HP boost, shadow partner, berzerk and adv combo.

[quote=xawesome]Shadow Partner and Hurricane.[/quote]
Sorry, no shadow partner.

It's no longer "Steal a random skill",
you can steal all their non passive skills, I think.
Hs works just fine...
Magic guard doesn't. Phantoms have literally no defence... and they're not MP based.
HS/Combo charge is good, and just take some new OP-fied skill like assasinate

You're wrong buddy, you can take whichever skill you like from a class. There are limitations though.
OT: Haste, Hyper Body, Holy Symbol and Rapid Fire.

Rapid Fire (stronger than hurricane, just remember that AFA can't be taken since it's a passive that's my reasoning) + SE for 4th
HS, CO, and AE/AR for 3rd
HB, Haste, Bless, Invincible? for 2nd

Do correct me if I'm wrong on these combinations~

1st job: Haste, after the revamp, haste is first job
*you can steal up to 4 skills in first job "Talent of Phantom Theif", but can only use one of those skills at a time*
2nd job:Hyper body, that's the only one useful and a must i guess
3rd job:Shade Split- Summon shadow copies to attack up to 6 enemies around you for 241% damage twice.
Holy symbol, combo attack
*you can steal up to 3 skills in your 3rd job "Talent of Phantom Theif", but can only use one of them at a time.*
4th job: hurricane/rapid fire, dark impale or sharp eyes
*you can steal up to 2 skills
You can't steal any summons, such as Shadow Partner. You will not receive any passive effect on the skill.
