In my opinion, the first three jobs are fairly balanced or even a little underpowered. However, his fourth job gets ridiculous. The nerfs in the third and below jobs won't really hurt him too much (unless you use Coat of Arms to train....? lol). Only some of the changes in fourth job affect him anyways. It wasn't nearly as hard of a nerf as the Demon Slayer one was.

Why wouldn't you use Coat of Arms to train? Underpowered? How many of you commenting about Phantom have actually played it?

First job, they have Swift Phantom or Phantom Shroud for movement, and they don't need to steal any skills because Double Piercing is the third highest DPS first job skill in the game that can hit multiple targets, only losing to Evan's Fire Circle and Triple Blow from Battle Mages this latest patch. The only job that comes close to matching it in movement speed is Mercedes and Demon Slayer. No one gives a pomegranate about first job anyways though.

Second job, they once again have one the highest DPS attacks with Call of Fate. The only disadvantage is that it can only hit 3 targets, but it has a higher attack speed than any other 2nd job skill, and they can just use Brise Carte or take a higher mob count attack from another job to hit more, while having the best movement speed in the game.

Coat of Arms was, and still is one of the highest DPS 3rd job skills in the game, not to mention it can hit 8 targets. It's the Phantom's primary training skill in 3rd job, and it's left at 11 in builds because you need the points to max everything else, and it still does as much, if not more damage than other character's attacks, and this is without taking Combo Attack because if you're training, you should be using Holy Symbol. If it were maxed, the only things stronger than it would be the dedicated single target attacks like Strafe, Triple Throw, Sacrifice, and the Evan skills which are still broken as pineapple. The only reason it's used over Phantom Charge is because training usually takes place on monsters significantly higher level than you, and Phantom Charge is only useful if you OHKO or have Twilight since it doesn't rush. Phantom Charge otherwise does almost as much DPS as maxed Coat of Arms.

And prior to this nerf, Twilight was by far the strongest multitarget attack in the game in both DPS and alphastrike, barring Meso Explosion and Mist Eruption, and ultimates for alpha, only required 20 skill points and no mastery book to max, gave full Invincibility frames, and traversed maps.
