I first started to have an interest in the Thief class only when I read about Phantom. I had been looking for the perfect class for me for a long time; my Bowmaster was steady but overshadowed and I wanted a class with higher mobility, an interesting storyline and a quirky mechanic that would serve well to keep me entertained. So it was with excitement that I read about Phantom's skill stealing and the trailer showing his past also had promise of not disappointing me in terms of story-telling.
If you ask me why I love playing the class now I would say it's because Phantom's amazingly quick not only on his feet and in travelling across all continents, but also that switching between attacks seems to be smoother than most other classes I've played. He also has skills that complement each other well which works out great in MPSH where I can get a seven minute run done with just 44k range (Due to using Meso Guard and taking out Rage). The storyline is also fantastic in comparison to what most classes get and I'm eagerly looking forward to getting my car and the final storyline quest at level 200 to finish up my cap on all things Phantom-related, plus it helps that he gets a lot of hilarious dialogue everywhere without detracting from the story's value (Sorry Angelic Buster, yours is side-splitting but your plot is still mostly irrelevant).
In sum, Phantom's quick, versatile, dynamic and entertaining. That's why I like the class.
