SHADOW CHASER GUIDE

 

 

 

Masquerade/Insignia 

This is a build most suitable for WoE Sieges and MvP Hunts as part of the support team for Debuffing Enemies.

Leveling would be dependent on Hunter and Ranger Traps. Traps depend on your DEX and INT in order to do more damage.
After the balance patch, traps are no longer a reliable leveling method. It is highly recommended to copy Arrow Storm instead.

Suggested Skills to be Copied: Arrow Storm.

Auto Shadow Spell/Invisibility 

ASPD is very crucial in triggering Auto Shadow Spell. High AGI, High STR, High INT and Moderate to High DEX is required to be an effective build. Additionally Shadow Spell works only on close range weapons like daggers.

Commonly copied spells are e.g. Storm Gust, Meteor Storm, Duple Light, Raging Trifecta Blow. Skills to be copied would vary depending on the situation and the preference of the player.

 ===========================================

Double Strafe/Triangle Shot 

 

The bow rogue has high DEX and high AGI for quick and devastating damage via bows, Moderate INT ensures a steady SP supply for skill spamming and high VIT for survivability.

Another suggestion is to copy Severe Rainstorm with Reproduce to do effective damage. Ensure to stock up if considering to use this skill as it consumes 120sp and 20arrows per cast.

Hybrid 

This build is designed to be very well rounded with many options when it comes to leveling. It also performs quite well in War of Emperium, and can serve as a breaker, debuffer or even a precaster. This build can also solo pretty much all low level MVPs. The ASPD helps for auto-casting with Shadow Spell, and with high AGI, you'll be less susceptible to enemy masquerades. The high DEX allows you to use bows for easy leveling early on, and the high INT will greatly improve your magic damage through Shadow Spell, and also ensure you don't have to use as many blue potions while leveling.

Recommended leveling skills include: Meteor Storm, Storm Gust, Heal, Arrow Storm, Bowling Bash, and Duple Light

Recommended copy skills for WoE include: Flying Kick, Windmill, and Storm Gust
