Phantom

Best skill to skill swipe?

So i have a phantom, and was wondering which skills are the best to skill swipe. Pretty much base it on, damage and/or how well they are able to mob monsters if they are appliable.

So can you please list the best skills to swipe from 1st-4th job
Thanks

[quote=Mapleftwpplz]you can though. i use mg + clarity with cross surge so my hp stays topped off pretty much always. its mg + rage that isnt allowed[/quote]
oh...oops o.o
I assumed cross surge and mg because then your HP would be full the entire time

just an FYI, you cant use Magic Guard and Cross Surge at the same time lol. It'd be broken

I'd say, it all depends on whether your going solo or in a party. I went with Iron body and haste for lvl 1 skills. Hyper Body and meso guard for lvl 2. I also here stealing a Door from a mage is useful too. Sorry I can't really say more my phantom is only lvl 89.

If you want to be the true support in HoH, get Sharp Eyes. People like me will love you.

[quote=tecul1]1st: Iron Body, Haste, Dark Sight, Magic Guard
2nd: Rage, Heal, any 2 of Meditation/Bless/Savage Blow
3rd: Cross Surge, Holy Symbol, Door/Shell/Dispel
4th: Arrow Platter, Sharp Eyes/Advanced Blessing/Monkey Magic/Speed Infusion/Final Cut

During training you'll load Cross Surge in the 4th job spot. During bossing you'll load Platter. If you're in a party that asks for buffs, load them in.[/quote]

Also, there are a bajillion threads on this. Or you could experiment yourself.

This is what I use:

1 - dark sight (haste)
2 - rage (hyper body)
3 - cross surge (mystic door, holy symbol)
4 - arrow platter (final cut, maybe res for a boss battle with a party)

Copy paste lord, I take no credit for this.

For Mobbing:

1) Dark Sight. It makes no sense to use Magic Guard because Phantom does not have the mana to support this ability effectively. In all honesty, there are no good Level 1 skills so this bracket does not matter.

2) Rage. This skill not only boosts your damage but absorbs 30% of the damage and reflects it. This skill makes Magic Guard all but obsolete.

3) Holy Symbol.

4) Showdown. This Night Lord skill is one of the best in the game. It not only deals 600+ damage 2x, it also increases your drop and exp rate by 30%. Combine this with Holy Symbol and you're getting 1.8x experience.

For Bossing:

1) Dark Sight or Magic Guard.

2) Steal or Rage. If you want to use Magic Guard, synergise it with Steal. Steal not only boosts your damage by 30 but also heals all your Hp and MP. It can be used multiple times and will always drop a potion, so you can do it simply to drop many and pick them up when your HP or Mp is low.

If this is not your thing, you can stick with Rage.

3) Cross Surge. At base 30k range at lv 120 (for me, at least) you will have 60k range based on your HP %.

4) Battleship Bomber or Arrow Blaster. I highly recommend getting Battleship Bomber as a low level Phantom for Bossing. This Corsair skill is INCREDIBLY fun and powerful. It sends a steady stream of bombs at 0.5 per second and deals 360 damage 3x with the 5th bomb appearing every 1 second (based on your Attack Speed) which deals 800 damage 4x that is 100% critical and ignores 40% PDR. At level 125 with no boss damage % and no PDR you will deal over 500k 4x on a boss like Normal Hilla, killing her in as little as 8 mins. It blew my mind. This skill is a MUST HAVE.

Arrow Blaster is for those with high damage. It is reserved for players with funded characters because it deals a paltry 155% damage once it is installed. In my honest opinion, don't get this skill unless your range is 150k plus.
