Shadow Chaser Guide - THE ROGGH LIBRARY

Overview

Shadow Chaser is a very fun job to play. While it may not be the best PVE class and can be easily outshined by other jobs, I chose to main Shadow Chaser mostly because I think it has the best 3rd job alternate sprite and it performs very well in PVP / WoE.

This guide will cover 3 basic builds: PVP, Bow and Magic.

Notable Skills

Thief

Backslide – Slides 6 cells backwards, faster movement with higher ASPD.
Hiding – Sightless mind requirement, can be used to dodge player / monster skills.
Stone Fling – Can Stun / Blind targets and can be used to pull mobs.

Rogue / Stalker

Intimidate – Lets you copy some skills.
Preserve – Prevents overwriting your copied skill / immune to dispel when soul linked.
Close Confine – Immobilize enemies for 15 seconds. (quest is currently bugged)
Counter instinct – Reduce sword & dagger damage taken by half and reflects the other half.
Sightless Mind – Can inflict Stun / Blind, very useful.
Stealth – Hiding with faster movement speed & can’t be revealed, can walk even faster when soul linked.
Snatch – Can be used as fly wing.

Shadow Chaser

Masquerade Ignorance – Disables targets usage of skills for 20 seconds.
Masquerade Weakness – Decreases targets max HP by 30% and strips their weapon and shield for 20 seconds.
Masquerade Gloomy – Deletes mounts, homunculus and wolf, reduces targets ASPD by 50% and HIT by 60% for 20 seconds.
Feint Bomb – Another backslide skill that makes you invisible for 2 seconds. (can cast skills while invisible)
Urgent Escape – Backslide that leaves a trap. 2 sec cd at level 5, great mobility skill.
Shadow Formation – 100% reflect for 9 hits, unable to use skills while in Shadow Formation, skills such as sight cancels this skill.
Manhole – Traps a target in a single spot for 15 seconds, you can use skills like Shadow Formation to trapped targets.
Maelstrom – Mini land protector/Magnetic earth.
Chaos Panic – Inflicts chaos in a 5×5 area.
Bloody Lust – Forces targets who steps on it to enter berserk state which depletes their SP.
Reproduce – Intimidate but can also copy 3rd job skills.
Body Painting – Reveals hiding enemies and can blind / decrease ASPD of targets
Invisibility – Lets you hit stuff while invisible but turns your attacks into ghost property.
Triangle Shot – Double Strafe but hits 3 times instead of 2.
Shadow Spell – Auto casts copied skills when normal attacking

Note for Masquerade skills
> The formula for instant cast is (Total DEX * 2 ) + Total INT= 530 which is kind of hard to reach without using Almighty buff & +20 foods.
> There is another build that focuses on -VCT% gears which won’t need foods for instant cast. This build is very expensive gear-wise and you will need to sacrifice some reductions to achieve instant cast.

PVP & WoE Build

Standard build for PVP / WoE. The build aims to annoy, delay, or disable enemies.

Stats

STR 1~30 – Weight / not needed if you can afford Gym Pass
AGI 90~100 – Flee / ASPD / animation speed
VIT 90~120 – HP / Potion effectiveness / Stun immunity for 100 total VIT
INT 90~120 – SP / MATK / helps in reaching instant cast
DEX 120~130 – HIT / Some skills success rate / also helps in reaching instant cast
LUK 1 – Not needed

Sample skill build & key skills

> Masquerade Ignorance – This is probably the most used skill.
> Emergency Escape – This gives you the mobility lost due to backslide being disabled in WoE.
> Manhole + Shadow Formation – The only counter to this is hitting Escape > Character select.
> Masquerade Gloomy, Masquerade Weakness & Bloody Lust – I left these at level 1 to enable building a WoE+PVE build. Doing so gave enough points to take either level 10 Shadow Spell or Triangle Shot or level 10 Reproduce.
> Reproduce – I left this at 5 since most 3rd job skill levels are capped at 5 and to save skill points.

Extras

Useful Skills for Intimidate and Reproduce

Reproduce

> Rapid Throw – Hits very hard but costly
> Diamond Dust – Specifically for crystalize
> Crazy Weed – A very useful skill to remove land based spells such as pneuma or magnetic earth

Key binds

> Shadow Chaser has a lot of skills so I can’t imagine using the default key binds. My F1 – F6 keys are all assigned on my mouse side or extra buttons.
> Use /q1 to activate mouse right click function for skill bar 1-9, useful for stuff like fly wing / teleport / sight / greed etc / equip stripped shield.
> Use /q2 to activate mouse scroll wheels up and down functions for 1-7 and 1-8 slot. Also useful for fly wing & others but I personally use this for pots in WoE or fly wing for PvE.
