Is boomerang step the shadower's main skill? And is assassinate the second best skill? Also, the shadower is the highest single damage dealing class with charged assassinate right? O and what is so good about boomerang step? It's kinda low damage compared to the pretty much all of the other classes's skills. For example, dark knight's dragon fury, hero's brandish, page's blast?

Every warrior is not "all the other classes".

actually @ mydragonsmir it just depends sometimes shads go BS -> assault just because it keeps them from blasting you with magic in the down time.

[/quote] 1. Assassinate is the main 1v1 skill. EDIT: Unless, of course, the boss has a super KB skill, like the above person mentioned. 2. The damage in B-Step is actually pretty good, AND it's a mobber. And of course it has low Spamming DPM... it has a cooldown.

Bstep deals at max 450% damage on 4 monsters twice, with a chance to stun them. Seems quite good in my eyes.

Maybe if you charged it before starting, but during, no.

[quote] Pedrof1990 : Its 500%, with added invincibility also. [/quote] Okay, then 500%. Which makes a total of 4000% damage dealt with each hit. Just why are shadowers supposed to be weak again?

so are shadowers the highest single damage class? and I thought that shadowers WERE one of the lowest dps classes. And what rank on the dps list would they be when the balance patch comes out?

Boomerang Step is a Shadower's main skill to use, since it mobs. It deals 500% 2x to 4 monsters, so 1000% to 4 monsters, or 4000% total, doing the most damage out of all your skills, except for a well-charged Assassinate. Even with a 1 second delay, it is very good, in bossing and in training, and other skills are used to fill in the spaces, making Shadowers unique and exciting. After the balance patch, the delay will be reduced to a much shorter time period. Assassinate is a strong single hit skill. Around max, around level 150, Assassinate can do over 80k damage total, with no charge. With a full charge, Assassinate can do 200k 4x, or 800k total. Assassinate is often used in conjunction with Boomerang Step in bossing, with a Dark Sight+Assassinate+BS combo, dealing decent damage. The Boomerang Step cancels the last assaulter-like hit of Assassinate, so it is good. Shadowers use all their skills to deal out damage, but seeing as Boomerang Step is the most used, Boomerang Step is a Shadower's main skill, and the other skills are used with that to deal out our mass killing power. -Serkrai @ Above, Shadowers can do 200k 4x, so they do very good damage per hit. DPM- Definitely on the low end. After the balance patch, our damage per minute should rival that of a Dark Knight.

[/quote] So shadowers will become less exciting after balance patch since bstep can be more spammable? And also, wouldn't it be the same? because right now people use assassinate and bstep as the main most damage dealing combo but even with the delay shortened, assassinate will still take the same amount of time to execute and assassinate does take longer than 1 second for the whole animation.
