The Night Walker

Summary

"Night Walkers are essentially Thieves. We attack from afar and rely on luck and cunning to get past obstacles. I wonder if you have the cunning it takes to be one of us... We are protected by Umbra, the spirit of darkness, who aids us in our fights. We dabble in poisons and let no one but ourselves direct our paths. We operate in shadow, doing things to carry out justice other knights would never dirty their hands with." ~Eckhart

"Darkness will bring forth the eruption of innate power to the thief"

Pros

• High level of avoidability.
• Attack rather quickly.
• Critical Throw amplifies overall damage output.
• Has Shadow Servant, a skill that summons a "copy" of your character that mimics your attacks.
• Have the skill Adrenaline, which increases the effect of potions.
• Shadow Bat and Vitality Siphon help your sustainability, which saves money on hp pots.
• Darkness Ascending allows you to revive every thirty-minutes on the spot if you die.
• Shadow Spark = one of the most op farming skills.

Cons

• Shadow Bat can go crazy at higher levels, so it's hard to keep track of kills and item drops.
• Very little variety skill wise between job advancements.

Stat Distribution

Since Maplestory changed to single stat focus, the main stats for a Night Walker is LUK (which increases your weapon attack), so all your AP's should go into LUK, the exact same as an Assassin's and a "Claw Thief" except you get 6 AP (ability/stat points) until level **0 where you get the regular 5 AP.
Generally, you shouldn't touch STR, INT, , HP, or MP.

Skills

Bolded Skill Level is the mastery level.
Bolded Skill in SP build means the skill should now be maxed.

Build-wise, there's not much to talk about since Maplestory has it so you can basically max all your skills, so I'll only be talking about the order of skill leveling.
