Do Shadowers get accepted into boss runs like Zakum or Horntail, or do they usually get left out?

Yes shadowers are very useful... cbs however, are a completely useless class.

I guess, but not usually as attackers.

They aren't accepted as frequently as Night Lords, or Bow Masters.

Shadowers are unfortunately often left out of bossing runs. However, people are also often surprised by what a Shad can do. For example, Love4Romance can outdamage just about any NL at Zak, apple and SE regardless. Why? Spam Assassinate deals as much if not more damage than TT, and BStep hits multiple arms at once, for two shots of...well, I don't have the actual numbers handy, but suffice to say it's big. Shadowers are a lot better at bossing than people give them credit for. They attack very quickly, and their high dodge rate means they don't have to stop to pot every two seconds, which actually hurts your DPM a lot when you have to pot after every hit. It's these small things that make a Shadower shine, that most people will never notice.

Regardless of jetpilot55's arguement, no Shadowers are not easily accepted into boss runs. In HT 2 Shadowers are needed...As bait. Any other time Shadowers might be a secondary attack/ Smoke Bomb mule.

Gabewest said: "unless the shads very strong and knows how to play. they fail as attackers compared to NL's" I don't fail compared to NL. I'm better than almost every one of them around my level at zak. Except one problem... I don't play maple anymore @_@

Even tho shadowers are usefull, were not accepted into zruns, and for horntail runs, its only to be used as a seduce mule . Even well equiped, i struggle to get into a zrun, the only ones i do get into are guild runs and friend runs and never asked back to be a attacker most of the time because of the amount of nightlords, and SE+Nl combo.
