Hi, I'm Satsujinhan and I've been playing melee chaser ever since I first started out in renewal servers. I've received questions in game regarding my build, gears and so forth, and now I'm finally making this guide for everyone. This whole guide is based on what I've done and tested so far, so there are still some spots I will fill in once I get there in game. If you spot any mistakes, have additional questions etc, you can find me on the server's Discord as Karuna or you can ROdex me in game on my abyss chaser Satsujinhan.

You can start looking into getting costume enchant stones once you hit shadow chaser. There’s a set that boosts Fatal Menace damage and provides even the nifty bonus of absorbing a 1% of your dealt damage as SP. This has a tendency to proc quite often when you kill off mobs, essentially ensuring you don’t run out of SP and don’t need a whole lot of SP recovery items. The shadow chaser set is more about boosting your overall physical damage against everything, and I recommend switching over to it as soon as you change jobs into abyss chaser.

As of January 1st, we have finally received the first items that are boosting non-crit damage (i.e. Deft Stab for us), in the form of costume enchant stones. These stones make a HUGE difference and I can't recommend getting them as soon as possible. I'm using just a low and dual garment stone, since abyss chasers also got their melee build enchant costumes, as you can see below. Due to the new sets, you will have to give up enchant stone originated SP leech - personally I just replaced it with an SP leech shadow shield and it works just the same.
