Shadowseer

The Shadowseer is a job that brings out the strongest forms of autospell available, this makes them a job that:

Can cause a flurry of magic damage with supportive physical damage, raining down spells with extremely fast power while keeping balance of its buffs.

While Shadowseers in fighting are very simple jobs, their true difficulty comes in the maintenance of its enchantments, since most of them have harsh SP % costs and very long cast times.

The correct use of Equinox is essential, as it removes most of the cast time of its spells, with the downside of requiring an enemy target to cast, forcing it to be used under a combat scenario. The Shadowseer can opt to slowcast its buffs and enchantments outside combat, at the cost of harsh cast times.

The Shadowseer also has an unique tool in Astral Mastery which converts its MATK into raw ATK, only during auto-attacks, allowing its magic damage to effectively become critical hits on some builds.

The Offhand Dagger is a unique secondary tool that provides them with higher levels of Double Attack regardless of main weapon, at the cost of not providing auto-attacks. This weapon has multiple interactions with the Masteries of the job, especially Spectral Mastery .

The Shadowseer has a very different gameplay loop from most jobs. While they will usually rotate skills actively during combat, the Shadowseer will rotate its cast times for enchants and buffs in preparation and only after that, it can begin fighting enemies to the best of its abilities.

The use of Convention while very risky due to heavy costs, is also a strong tool to fight, as under specific circunstances, allows thief magic to be always autocast at Lv10, breaking the usual restriction of randomly using Lv1~5.

Umbral Cut is the definitive finisher of the job. Dealing massive damage, it requires long setups and procs of spirit spheres from Astral Weapon . The spheres have a short duration, forcing the Shadowseer to always be on the offensive in order to finally summon enough spheres for the cast of a strong, large AoE Umbral Cut.

By finding a correct balance between speed, power, magic, physical damage and magical damage, the Shadowseer can attack an enemy with excellent reliability, proving to be one of the hardest, and most rewarding, jobs in Return to Morroc.
