Hey it seems like shadow chaser is cool class, i'd like to know one thing....

is this possible to be a killer while playing as shadow chaser in WoE and PvP ?

what the ways to kill with it, and how is it compare to other melee killers

and more overall you can tell me with your own experience of playing shadow chaser

an effective killer? not right now
you might get lucky wit a nicely timed shadow spell, but chasers arent killers... yet

The Manhole/Trap/Shadow Form combo is the only way other than a lucky hit from Shadow Spell to kill people, but that only applies in a 1vs1 situation where nobody is interfering you and who you're trying to kill. That also assumes the person is willing to sit there waiting to get Shadow Form trapped to death in Manhole. This method only really applies in PvP, because WoE is a group effort. There should never be a time when you get to make such an elaborate setup to kill people one by one in WoE.

Basically it is what Astraeos says. Chasers are not an effective killing class in any regard and should never be seen as one in their current condition. They are meant for debuff/disabling/supporting purposes.

SC's can't kill you in woe, but they'll make you wish they did (If only to get rid of all the debuffs they put on you)

SC's are IMO one of the most brokenly powerful offensive support classes in WoE. They inflict GX poisons better than GX's by leaps and bounds, they steal dragons, they manhole, they bloody lust to zero-out enemy's SP.... they strip gear... they masq... they strip accessories (a fate worse than death, by the way - since the strip status stays when you relog, so you can't just bwing+relog like you do when you get fullstripped). I hate the damned things - most of them are hard enough to kill that they'll usually have me unable to kill anyone before I can kill them (I assume they're stacking full defensive gear). A quick spear dynamo'ed crush strike is my only hope.

Thank god they can't actually kill too!

Alice Carded Shield + No Def = You just killed yourself with Crushing Strike ^^. Shadow Formation will cause Suicidal Tendencies in WoE.

Sight/Ruwach keeps Shadow Form in check. It's almost pointless to use Shadow Form now if you're surrounded by people who know how to carry a Sight accessory. Sure Shadow Form is still good for killing people in certain conditions, but they all learn eventually. It's actually suicidal now to try this combo in the presence of people who do know how to handle Shadow Form. Suras are the perfect class to use for stopping them.

(a fate worse than death, by the way - since the strip status stays when you relog, so you can't just bwing+relog like you do when you get fullstripped).

Actually, Full Divest cancels out when you relog. Divest Accessory is the only one that doesn't go away until the duration is over.
