i have a hard time deciding. I cannot get a constant supple of NX for dualblade skill books as i only have like 10k nx from surveys but i heard you can buy then in FM though they are rather expensive. I like both of their gameplays (: can you please list the pros/cons of both of these classes after the bigbang and also the skills which they most commonly use to fight in all their jobs, e.g bandit for 2nd job is savage blow. cheers guys :D

DB: triple stab > triple stab/fatal blow > tornado spin/triple stab/fatal blow. After 55+ I'm not sure Shad: double stab > savage blow > band of thieves/savage blow > boomerang step/savage blow I'd say DB for damage and Shadower for avoidability. BTW: did you mean all used skills, or just attacks? The wording was a bit confusing.

sorry about the wording. i meant just attacks. thanks though :D i thought shad's were getting buffed after bb? Db's are still stronger? could you please explain how Band Of Thieves work? does it attack 6 monsters one hit each monster?

Shads will be invencible after BB, DBs will get ripped off

He said commonly used. I guess some people train with ME but it was too boring for me (did a couple lvls at elder wraiths). Anyway from what I know, post-BB you need accuracy so no more bombing superstrong enemies (though it's more useful with pickpocket yay :D). Also 2nd job has steal and 3rd job has assaulter and 4th job has assassinate, but they're not commonly used for attacking in training (I mainly use assaulter for moving around, but SB is probably more dps). And yeah, band of thieves hits 6 monsters at max level. You need to hit 1 monster in front of you to "activate" it, then 5 thief buddies come and attack (it's a lot faster than it sounds). One weird thing is that it seems to have more range below and behind you than above/ in front (for the 2nd part, not the activation). I'm not really sure about DBs damage post-BB but they're so far ahead of me now that I can't see them getting nerfed that bad.

Everyone is picking Bandit cause they hate Dualers LOL. Up to you. Bandits are much more fun, but slower at levelling, and have less DPM. I'd pick the bandit cause it's more fun for me, but if you want to go for damage or levels, go with the Dualer.

[quote] Soulloud : Shads will be invencible after BB, DBs will get ripped off [/quote] Com'on, don't say it unless you know it. DBs DONT GET RIPPED OFF only one skill is being nerfed pretty bad, which is the fatal blow that is being used until lvl 70 (but still gonna be very strong), but ALL the other skills are being boosted and it's awsome. i never used FB again since lvl 75 (axcept dojo pq). open a db, our dpm is gonna still be much higher then shads.

DB since you play Windia cause thorns is way more useful than smokescreen.

If you like savage blow with shadow partner you'll love DBs' fatal blow with shadow skill. The numbers literally go off the top of my screen :P

[quote] SaderSader : Other way around, even with shadower's defense skills, DB avoid is a lot higher [/quote] Can you explain? I don't understand why DBs would have more avoid. They don't have a skill like shadow shifter (40% passive avoid) do they? Or smokescreen? Or boomerang step?
