Skill tree for Stalker in Ragnarok Origin
Before we jump into building Stalker skills, we should talk about how you should distribute stats to this subclass. Focus your stat points on DEX, STR, and AGI with a slight increase in VIT. We advise trying to balance the three main stats while keeping the VIT at 25% of whatever you have invested in them.
Remember that to access the Stalker you must play the Thief class and choose Rogue when first leveling up. This will put you on the path to the Underground Stalker when you reach level 70.
Thief Skill Tree (1st Job)
- Dual attack (Tier 10) – By leveling double attack to max, you get a 55% chance to hit your enemy again (cannot be critical) and if you have a katar equipped, your secondary weapon damage is increased by 20 %. This effect will only trigger if you have a knife type weapon equipped and the chance of Double Attack triggering is calculated separately for each hand. So if you use two knives instead of a knife and a crossbow, you’ll have a better chance of activating this passive attack.
- Shield Dodge (Tier 5) – When you activate this skill, you gain a 10% chance to dodge enemy attacks and a 60 increase to Dodge for 5 seconds. Can be a great asset when surrounded by many enemies.
- Tips Control (Tier 4) – A great AoE damage skill as it deals 180% + 200 neutral physical damage to 10 monsters within your range. Use it to clear waves of weak enemies that are building up around you.
- Detoxify (no level) – You don’t need to spend a skill point for this skill as you will get it automatically. Detoxify is a classic debuff spell that removes poison effects on you and your teammates around you.
- Increase dodge (level 10) – A passive skill that will permanently increase your ESCAPE by 30 and give you a 5% movement speed bonus.
- Hidden (level 10) – Enter the hideout during which no enemy can spot you. You will not suffer any movement penalty and this skill will cost you 10 SP + 1 SP for every 17 seconds you are in the hideout.
- reoffend (Tier 1) – A single point in Backslike allows you to quickly disengage and back up while gaining a 15% movement speed bonus for 10 seconds. Ideal for resetting in a fight that is not going in your favor.
Rogue Skill Tree (2nd Job)
- sneak attack / raid shot (level 10) – This is a dual ability, which means it will display differently depending on whether you use a melee or ranged weapon with it. When using a dagger, you hit the target for 450% + 350 neutral physical damage with a 15% chance to drop 100 Eden Coins. If you use this skill with a crossbow, it will have the same effects, but they will only be applied through a projectile.
- Crossbow Blade Mastery (level 10) – A passive skill that will give you +30 ATK when using Crossbow Blade and Knife. This weapon combo is central to this build, so it’s essential that you level up this passive skill.
- Take off the helmet (level 3) – You have a 5% chance to remove the helmet from the target. Your chances are increased if you have high DEX and LUK attributes.
- Stealth (level 5) – A passive skill that is activated after using the Concealment skill. It gives you a 25% movement speed bonus for 15 seconds.
- Mighty Raid (Tier 5) – This passive skill gives your basic attacks a 10% chance to trigger a sneak attack or raid shot (depending on the weapon you are using).
- Remove the coat (level 3) – You have a 5% chance to remove the target’s cloak. These chances are further increased by DEX and LUK.
- Constrain (level 5) – When using this skill, you will freeze a target for 2 seconds and pull them towards you. This is perfect for a melee weapon combo.
Stalker Skill Tree (3rd Job)
- counter-instinct (tier 5) – A dual skill that will work with both melee and ranged weapons. It gives you a 60% physical parry chance for 5 seconds.
- remove armor (level 3) – You have a 5% chance to remove armor from the target for 15 seconds. Chances are increased when you have high DEX and LUK.
- Shadow Seeker (level 5) – Enter a shadow state where you remain hidden even after attacking. This state lasts 17 seconds.
- Ambush Attack (Tier 5) – This passive skill deals 10% bonus skill damage when used with melee or 15% bonus skill damage with a crossbow.
- Delete weapon (Level 3) – Use this skill to get a 5% success rate in removing the enemy’s weapon. Your odds are higher the higher your DEX and LUK are.
- Cunning (level 5) – Passive skill that gives double bonuses, depending on the form you are using. When using this skill in dagger form, you gain 15% more critical damage when there is more than one enemy around you. If you use it as a crossbow, it increases your physical damage by 10% + 1% for each ally near you.
- Copy (level 3) – When using this skill, you can steal an ability from the enemy. At level 3, you can even steal MVP skills.
