Indeavori’s PVM Shadow Chaser Guide

Autocast Magic Shadow Chaser

If you enjoy a plethora of fireworks-like visual effects (while dealing significant damage, of course), you might find the Autocast Magic Shadow Chaser appealing. Unlike the Crit Bow Shadow Chaser build, this one doesn’t rely on Thieves Guide Vol. 1, allowing you to be more creative with your accessory slot. However, the skill build should ideally include Shadow Spell skill at level 10 and Reproduce at level 10 to create a competent Autocast Shadow Chaser. The core items for this build are Lunar Rainbow, Elemental Sword, and Elemental Boots.

Core Items – Lunar Rainbow, Elemental Sword, and Elemental Boots

If you don’t have these core items, you can still play as an Autocast Shadow Chaser using the Reproduce and Plagiarize skills, though your DPS (damage per second) may be lower than that of those who possess these core items.

Stat Distribution

At lvl 174, this would be a sample build. 

STR – 1~30 (for weight limit/ if you can afford gym pass leave this at 1)

AGI – 90~120 (You need aspd for this build, adjust accordingly on how much aspd boosting consumables that you will be using. More aspd more chance of proc of autocast)

VIT – 50~80 (for tanking mobs, you can leave this to 50 if you want to put to other stats)

INT- 90~125 (Your damage MATK, so pump this)

DEX- 90~125 (Some items might require base stat of dex to increase MATK)

LUK- 1 (you won’t be needing luk for this build)
