Chakra heals a considerable amount of HP, but it is seemingly worthless to max due to the amount of time it takes to do so, not to mention the health requirement. Meso Guard has no affect on Dark Flare. Dark Flare will do full damage even if you take reduced damage from Meso Guard. With maxed Boomerang Step, Steal does almost the same damage as Band of Thieves, but with stun rate. I do think max Steal and 11 Booster is a more convenient route to go, and having Steal at a reasonable level to Steal things is convenient. Really not that big of a deal from 110s to 200s Booster. At most, 15 Booster to match PPs 150s duration. I agree with most of this build, but I would say Meso Explosion and Pick Pocket earlier. You don't get enough coins with low Pick Pocket to use Meso Explosion, and without Pick Pocket, you have to drop coins yourself, which is meaningless. 10 PP 3 ME > 10 ME 3 PP in my opinion. Definitely do not max Chakra before anything else, if you are going to max it. I would say that 5 Assaulter and then some Flash Jump is more reasonable than immediately maxing Assaulter first. It has very low value in usage since you're using Band of Thieves most of the time, Savage Blow to get coins, and Meso Explosion to use those coins. I only use it to travel, get the last hit in on a single mob, or engage.
The additional defense from Shield Mastery is meh. Up to you. I don't value it significantly, but I do recommend at least one point in it.
