pineapple! I can't decide what I want to do!

level 5 vemon is not a good move. you'd want vemon at a level where it poisons longer or its chances of poisoning is increased. good vemon levels would be 4, 7, 10, etc. OR 11, 21. its why most people cap vemon at 28 to work on other skills then go back and max it later.

most people in the 4th job build themselves for what they do most; some people are poor and like to save movey--they add some points into fake. some people like training--they add to vemon/bs. some people like to boss--they do bs/assassinate.

the archmages have a lot of skills to add too and they do the same thing.

I'll probably end up leaving mine at lvl 7 then.

Seriously, 4th job for shadowers is just like 3rd job for us. We use pretty much every single skill we have; hence why there are so many variations in 3rd and 4th job builds. Septher's candy jar full of awesome candy pretty much nails it, and I completely forgot about fake =X. Now I dont know what I wanna do either

How about 1 fake -> 1 assassinate -> 21 bstep -> 7 venom -> 5 MW (now you're lvl 131) -> 21 assassinate. Most people start being useful in bosses by late 13x, which by then you'll have a good lvl of assassinate. That sounds like a good plan for me.
