Hahah, thanks for the title fix Mods! Do You want to know WHY we won't be replaced? Well, let's face it, as this Dual Blade is destroying mobs faster than a Shadower can, and so far it's only in a test server. However, Shadowers have a new edge people haven't realized yet. Remember those old adventurer balance patches everyone was talking about, where we were all going "OMFG PALUHDINS AND MAGEZ ND CURZAIRS WILL RAWK!" we weren't looking at the good ol' Bandit updates. Thanks to the updates, Shadowers will now have single-target damage just about on-par with Heroes. Dual Blades may have taken Mobbing away from us, but we still aren't completely obsolete. ON top of this, we have a new bossing prowess that puts us in the top tier of melee bossers, possibly the highest of the soloing melee bossers. We may not be able to flaunt our old purpose any more, but we have a new niche that we fit in quite nicely.

We won't be replaced because we still are good trainers and now with the new dark sight update going in and out of assassinate is almost as fast as dragon fury (correct me if I got the name of the DK move wrong). We still have smoke bomb and meso guard. They might be strong but they aren't as well protected HP wise. Not to mention when they come out you'll see a lot of this: Mapler: OH SNAP! a new job dual bladers!11!1!1! They OWN! 1-2 months later Mapler: Man dual bladers sux im going back to my main Mapler 2: Man I'm quitting screw maple. So yeah shadowers should be fine, I know for sure I'm sticking with mine.

Dual blades will probably suck at bossing. We'll maybe not suck but not as good as a shadower.

Lol Shads would be decent at bossing, not on par with a Hero though O_O. Kind of sucks that i quit my CB a few days ago and all this Shadower pride springs up out of nowhere.

[quote] HolyArcherX : Lol Shads would be decent at bossing, not on par with a Hero though O_O. [/quote] Actually, because DS's cast/cancel time has been reduced, and Assassinate's charge time has been decreased, they will get Assassinate out faster and it will do a bit more damage. This may not seem like much, but it makes you get that much closer. Assaulter does 100% more damage now, and Boomerang Step now only needs one SB in between casts now. They're pretty much equal with Heroes now, even if still a bit behind. But hey, we get a 2x better 3rd job, so it's all good, right?
