1st: haste/mg/dark-sight? +whatever else
2nd: threaten /power guard/ hyper body / rage... replace HB with heal when you (and your party) get self HB, or replace PG with heal for places with potion CD
3rd: holy symbol/magic crash/combo attack (optional: luck of the die) <--- die is completely option and not particularly recommended but can be used for training with other phantoms... one is bound to have HS... and grabbing a 6 every now and then is nice)
4th: SE/resurrection
Replace SE with jolly roger if you're with another phantom or other who will use SE. 30% status resist means you're MUCH more likely to not get seduced due to already having a nice base status resist of 40%. Combine this with the small amount of status resist from traits and you're pretty much looking at 75% status resist
Due to this high status resist chance you'll be ready to switch to resurrection in case something goes wrong for other members of your party. If your party is not likely to die/resurrection does matter (akyrium) then replace resurrection with Chain Lightning. This is for CLs support aspect of dealing with monsters that your physical attacks are useless against.
Why in the world would you steal Jolly Roger, or even Crossbones if we're on this topic? Like mentioned above, +status resistant skills have that as a passive trait, and besides Jolly Roger cancels out Aria. My stolen skills are
1st: none
2nd: Rage
3rd: Dispel, Combo, Crash
4th: SE
I think the ideal setup is
1st:irrelevant
2nd: Rage, Threat, Power Guard(Paladin), Hyper Body
3rd: Combo, Dispel, Crash
4th: Rapid Fire(if you don't cap on Mille)/SE, Time Leap
I'm at the point where combo is the only stolen skill I need and then just play around and use other fun skills like Octopunch and stuff. I keep Time Leap handy in case my feint is used up or in Party instances, res has been used up or echo, etc.
