Hey guys, having a bit of a dilemma here. What should I do ? I've had a Shadower, but sadly it was hacked and had 110 DEX >_>. I currently have a 131 Buccaneer but I don't know which to stick with in the long term. I have the following items that can be used: 10 dex 3 Atk PAC 10 dex violet ss 11 dex rose earings 11 atk scg 17 str zhelm / str scarlion +1 HTP If you suggest shadower please also add in which type and reasons. Thanks alot guys ~

i would love to say shadower but your equips are more suited for buccaneer in my opinion

Like Sacred wed love another Shad in our Maple world... BUT... youre funded with a Bucc and there arent many out there. Keep that uniqueness.

Buccaneers are great characters. And your equips are suited to bucs.

Your buccaneer will end up a BF killing machine, but fail at everything else but TL and SI mule. Your shadower will be a leveling machine, and after this balancing patch a bossing machine.

So Shadowers will pretty much be great bossers after patch except killing BF. In thinking of allowing my Buccaneer to level up so I can do a few Dep Star Quests then create a Shadower.

[/quote] Well I have a bucc and im building a shad atm because I love how Buccaneers change up their attacks, but they are just so weak. Don't get me wrong shadowers arent top notch either but they will certainly much better than buccs after this balancing patch.

[/quote] Err...I figured the balancing patch would also help shadowers be able to kill BF even faster (if I correctly recall, delay cuts and faster charge for assassinate?) They may not be the best at it, but I still disagree with you saying they can't handle BF after the patch.

[/quote] How strong they are isnt the issue, its the issue of how their attacks cant pin BF (or can they? Tbh ive never seen a shad kill BF so I dont know for sure).

Bucanneers wont be bad after the balance patch, they are getting alittle more range on all there skills so they dont have to be humping to attack. They are still pretty fast and cooler than shadowers with transformation (IMO). We need more bucaneers, shadowers are overcrowded and lame until level 120.

[/quote] Shadowers are quite skilled with BF, i've seen only a few do it though, and most were over lv 160, and were STR dits as well. They cant pin it, but they can KB it (well, effectively hit it despite the frames) and cetainly a full fledged assassinate would work well? Let's not also forget bombing it, lols

[/quote] I'm sorry to say sir but that last sentence made no sense. :x OT. Since your pirate is already a bucc. I suggest you stick with that.
