Really, I'd say the best support skill to steal on a ~130 Phantom is max MW, it helps everyone equally, while SE is only really good for crit classes. (MW can be stolen, right?)
No, you can't steal MW. SE is a pretty big boost in damage, but it can be gotten from gloves, so Pirate Style is good as well.
Dark Sight is nice if you want to walk across an area or stand somewhere and not get hit. Phantom Shroud gives you that Dark Sight effect, but you have to do its movement thing, and it only lasts like 10 seconds, or 3 movements.
Having gone through most of second job like Danny, I think we both recommend Call of Fate to be maxed before Brise Carte unless you're REALLY REALLY strong or want to use a second attack like Iron Arrow or Tornado Upper afterwards. Brise Carte has a long spam delay and does significantly less damage. Its advantage is it hits 10 monsters, so if you're strong enough to OHKO with it, go with that first. Call of Fate is amazingly strong, and I OHKO most of the monsters I trained on with level 1, but it only hits 3 monsters. If you intend to actually train with it, it should be first priority so you can train on higher level monsters. If not, then Talent should be first priority to get a better training skill or Mental Clarity/some other support. Blanc Card is pretty useless because you don't need the extra DPS from Judgement, in my opinion.
