The next important thing in building your character is the skill tree. Early on as a rogue before trans, you can feel free to skill the build however you like. However, these are some notable skills that can make your leveling faster. | The next important thing in building your character is the skill tree.

* '''Back Stab'''As a melee build, this is your bread and butter skill. Using dagger makes this skill hit twice instead of just once, and it will oneshot most of the things you’re going after in the early leveling stages. | * '''Back Stab''' | ||
* '''Haggle'''Melee rogues / stalkers don’t get a whole lot of skills they are required to max out, so once the basic damage dealing skills are set, you should look into this nifty skill. It allows you to buy things even cheaper than merchants with Discount. Keep in mind though that there are some NPC sold items that have fixed prices, which aren’t affected by either of these skills. With basic NPCs like Tool Dealers, this is a handy skill. | ** As a melee build, this is your bread and butter skill.

* '''Preserve'''The number one skill to get as soon as you hit stalker. I suggest getting it first since it has a pretty long list of prerequisites compared to other necessary skills. It opens up a whole new serving of skills you can use to level. | * '''Haggle''' | ||
* '''Chase Walk'''While you can move around in Hide due to Tunnel Drive, this skill offers faster movement speed. Keep in mind that you can still be seen by demons, insects and boss protocol monsters. You also get a small boost to your STR after 10 seconds, but it doesn’t last long enough unless you’re linked. With link, you get a speed boost with this skill as well as immunity to Dispell. | ** Melee rogues / stalkers don’t get a whole lot of skills they are required to max out, so once the basic damage dealing skills are set, you should look into this nifty skill.

As shadow chaser, planning out your skill tree is quite straight forward. As we all know, this class was meant to be a pain in the ass in PvP settings – when you opt to go melee, you have less than 5 mandatory skills you need to get. | As shadow chaser, planning out your skill tree is quite straight forward.

* '''Reproduce'''This is your third job version of Preserve, but with an upgrade. Unlike Preserve, which you have to recast every 10 minutes to keep the copied skill, Reproduce needs to be used only when you copy a skill. After copying you use it again and that’s it. It also allows you to copy a skill at max level, regardless of what level of the skill was used on you. Here are some of my favorite skills to copy. | * '''Reproduce''' | ||
** '''Duple Light'''This is a fun skill to have as a freshly changed chaser. You can still get away with autoattacking things for leveling, and this skill deals extra damage when you play as melee. | ** This is your third job version of Preserve, but with an upgrade.

** '''Ignition Break'''For leveling with this skill, it’s okay to ditch a dagger in favor of a one-handed sword because of damage penalties. However, you don’t have to rely on this skill alone on your way to lvl 200. | *** '''Duple Light''' | ||
* '''Fatal Menace'''Thanks to rebalancing of third job skills, this is now a great leveling skill with dagger melee. It hits twice when used with a dagger and AGI increases the damage of this skill. This skill was '''the thing''' for me when I was leveling my chaser – it’s very spammable and there are plenty of gears to boost its damage. | *** This is a fun skill to have as a freshly changed chaser.

The rest of the skills are very much up to what you want to pursue with your chaser. I admit I’ve been putting leftover third job skill points into second job skills, simply because with this build the whole Masquerade tree portion is basically pointless. | The rest of the skills are very much up to what you want to pursue with your chaser.
