Don't be a Bandwagoner -_- Choose what you chose originally.

[quote] Schimmy : I would prefer Shadowers, I think they have a better bossing experience then Dual Bladers. [/quote] Lol pfft :P I suppose since you are a shadower there is shadower pride. I have one too.

Shadowers have more survivability at bosses than DBs thanks to MesoGuard and Shadow Shifter. DBs are more wanted at boss runs thanks to Thorns and higher damage output; DBs will outpower a shadower with the same equips even after the Big Bang. I still prefer Shadowers, because I'm more of a defensive styled kinda guy.

It can take as much as trying each different character twice before you find what you really like. Dont stick to something just because you chose it first, go with what you like and are most happy with. I know its hard to let go of but letting go of damage being important in which ms class you pick will help you alot. Shadowers are gonna be epic after bigbang greed = 70% m.g.? AWESOMENESS! Also I still say shads have better party skill for bosses: Bomb>Throns since BMs and MMs have SE f3

[quote] Ralinda4 : 1) Bomb is not a party skill. 2) Bomb is expensive. 3) Thorns stacks with SE. [/quote] I agree with #3, but disagree with #2. Post-BB, ME will work like other attack skills where ACC and damage range will be factors. So you can PP and get little 10 meso coins and deal the same amount as you would for dropping 50k bags. It makes it fair because training methods like bombing monsters higher than your level got killed with the addition of the monster and player level difference factor. xD Edit: Speaking of parties, Smokescreen got much improved (with 3 Shads in a party, you can keep Smoke on 100% of the time) and if Dark Flare can heal party members enough, that'd be very nice to have too (even if it only heals like 100/second, if it can stack heal with other Shads and NLs in a party, that'd eliminate a lot of pot use for us Thieves which already use so little lol). xD Edit2: Oh, not sure on the Shad+Smokescreen number. I forgot the time of effect, but if it's just 1 minute at max, that's still 6 Shads = 100% Smokescreen time (Post-BB Cooldown is 6 mins I think). xD

stay with db we dont need more bandwagon bandits

Their both good classes, it just depends on your playing style, shads are really mobile which I find is really cool. But dbs will always give out more damage.

whoever said bomb is expensive will you please get out of basil and quit ms while you are at it if you actually saw the post big bang shad videos, you'll see them using PP with Me doing 50k + damage and dont be a shad pl0x, our dagger scrolls are expensive enough compared to when they were 1-1.5mil each >.>

Only a month ago, a 15 clean was only about 10-12k NX. I checked D. Khans in the MTS two days ago, and clean 14s (lol gross) were about 24k NX each. xD
