I'm planning to make either a Shadower or a Buccaneer after i make my dawn warrior. I'm more interested in a Shadower cause of the cool skills, the invincibility frames with boomerang step, meso explosion, dark sight for luls, assassinate, and all the other things, but theres one problem. They don't have a very good survival rate and i really do not enjoy dying everyday while training. This might be one fault in the Shadower but to me its a big deal. I've also turned to Buccaneer, they have invincibilty frames as well plus transformation looks hot (although its useless) they are strong and have a great survival rate. They also look cool. I like shadower more, but that fault justs gets to me, anyway to solve it? I'm not sure i'm rich enough to afford anything to hp wash or anything. Current have 60+ mil and making. Please vote and state why the other is better (i know i made like 1000 of these but i can't make up my mind, i'm very picky) :| EDIT: When i said Shadowers have low-survival rates i meant like bossing, sure we have high avoid, but that can't keep up forever. I don't want to die in one hit if avoid fails. EDIT 2: Ok thanks guys, imma go with shadower and see how it works out :D. Thanks for the help and stuff, no thanks to meanies. /ends thread thank you and have a nice day :D

Actually, with Meso Gaurd and skills with invincibility frames, I think they have a fairly good survival rate.

Honoramongshad : Personally I like shadowers more than buccs because they don't have a charge and are constant fluid motion. Bucc's have to charge and are slower than shadowers. However their damage makes up in lack of speed. Shadower's and bucc's damage per minute is insignificant to make it a factor. Shadower's are much harder to fund, but spend less on pots. They litterally can survive off chakra, 300 barb elixers and 800 mana pots for 12+ hours. In terms of bossing smokescreen and Si are both useful but not needed therefore they both aren't needed. Really they are both flashy, just ones more laggy than the other. bucs have hp drain and the mp recovery skill

darthvader29 : bucs have hp drain and the mp recovery skill At least shadowers have choices when it comes to attacks, unlike buccs, who have to use the same attacks from 1st - 4th job.

Both classes are pretty useless at the end. Go with the buccaneer if your curios or make the Chief Bandit since your leaning on to that side (.-.,).

Honoramongshad : If you want to compare training efficiency no matter how you look at it shadowers top bucc's. We have a 40% taunt, 4 hit invisibilty frame boomerang step, BOT possibily the best mobskill in the game besides ultimas, higher hp with meso guard, much higher avoid. You have dragon dance and barrage wihch neither can break the damage cap, while our assassinate can. Barrage/Demolition can.. o_o especially with SE. @Above, you misspelled Corsair haha :P

Honoramongshad : I believe only snipe, assassinate and that pally skill can break the damage cap. But I keep to my argument that shadowrs are better trainers and equal at bossing. no your right about *breaking* the damage Cap not sure about the training and bossing though... @your edit I was pointing out people who SI helps.... no need to throw a temper tantrum like a baby

Actually Honor is right. Shadowers obviously are faster at training than Buccs. I've made a thread like this before. For bossing I think they are equal. Both can break the damage cap.
