As the title says it, is Chakra really worth it in the end? I feel as if maxing Steal would serve more better purpose than Chakra. What do you guys think? I'm not Chakra expert nor Steal, so may something give me some info?

Chakra's not worth it. Put points in Dark Sight/Lucky 7/Keen Eyes/Double stab instead.

i rather max chakra steal is useless even at level 1 ou can use it to steal items but it takes a while and chakra heals you xD so i rather get it

Chakra is just like a bad HP pot. So don't use it :/

The only time I really use Chakra is when I die, and don't wanna waste HP pots to get it all back. But I never use Steal. And I never plan on using any 1st job skills other than Dark Sigh and Double Stab. So I'd say just go with Chakra.

Chakra is a nice skill.... Once u reach a high enough lvl to have good avoid chakra can become a very helpful training tool if u like to watch ya mesos.

HermitFTW, you know nothing of chief bandits and their skills, it seems. Reivax and someausdude are both correct. Though be warned that Chakra is useless in a lot of 3rd job training maps. It can be used in most 4th job training, however.

Nope i use chakra to earn meso... like on mob areas like MSIA. when the Hp is too low i jump on something and use it.. i can earn 3m~4m in 1 hour at lvl 85

Especially with BS-sniping, which means you'd have enough time to use Chakra ~

yes chakra is worth it. if u already have max DS then its the best skill you could get after u max all of your attacking skills. shield mastery is horrble. why bother wasting money on a claw if you do L7 and keen eye also ur gonna have to keep switching from ur dagger and that just is pointless. steal is just a no lol and chakra is def better then endure but ima guess u maxed that. o and disorder is the same at lv 3 or maxed

In my opinion the only usefull purpose of steal, which i have maxed on my cb is to impress noobs "omg whats that shadow thing?" its actually useless

To everyone saying Steal is useless, lemme tell you, it's definitely not. If you're doing one of those PITA quests, such as the Hyper Glyph one, or the one in Showa where you need to find the purse, it will go much faster.

I'm Lv. 118 right now and I have my skill points saved not knowing which to get. I know Steal is useful for quests and Chakra is a bit of a meso saver... hm. Tough choice. Sort of.

Eh, i'm not a Shadower but i would max Dark Sight first before you dump your extra points in any other skills. But in my opinion everything after Dark Sight is equally useless. EDIT: You can always go for Shield Mastery to get a +20 defense bonus! [/sarcasm]
