Is mirror Image better than shadow partner? Me and my friend are having an argument because he thinks dual bladers mirror Image is better than Theives shadow partner.

It's essentially the same. Any loss of damage between the skills is minimal and would go unnoticed if the classes switched skills. The real major difference is SP requires a summoning rock.

Actually, Shadow Partner factors in % Attack, in opposed to Miror Image considers % Damage.

I think Mirror image adds 10% more damage, plus you can take it off and use it for that puppet thing, plus it doesn't require a rock, and it looks just like you which is kinda cool.

Well DBs are stronger plus an additional 60% ATM where as thieves are weaker and it makes the original atk 80% plus 50% from the extra stars therefore yes MI is 30% stronger plus with the variety of skills it works with

The difference is quite huge I would say. If you use Triple-throw, and hit 10k 10k 10k, the hits Shadow-partner make would be 5k 5k 5k. Mirror image's damage-output is lower(not 50% of the original damage). I never really looked into it, but what Lyrikal said sounds very reliable.

You don't have to waste money on summoning rocks.

The 80% is the copy damage for Throw 1 Star, 0 MP, 100% damage (the regular Attack). SP keeps original damage at 100%. 50% are skill damage copies. xD

Damage wise Shadow Partner is better. Mostly because MI does damage compared to your damage on the monsters (so if u hit 1k u get 600 MI damage) but Shadow Partner doesnt (so it is a lot more stable) For looks and monetary reasons MI is better. It doesnt look like a black blob is following you around and we dont require Summoning Rocks which is really nice.

panda117 1. yes cb's are getting shadow partner 2. he's not he's 124 and he just put that hes a nightwalker OT shadow partner is better because it does 80% of damage dealt whereas MI does 60 (or 70 not sure) % damage of ur damage range meaning, if you do 10k per star u will do 8k with shadow partner, with MI if u hit 100k with US and ur range goes to 10k then you will hit 10k with the MI shot unless its critical etc.

[quote] Panda117 : 2. AND WTF how is iInvisiblei lv. 122 Night Walker? [/quote] He's really a NL 1. Check rankings 2. He would look stupid to say original > all while having using nightwalker SP which isnt original 3. Basil isnt about to tell the difference and level cap ck's.. basically you can have a lvl 200 bucc and change it to thunderbreaker if you wanted OT: I dont care much for which is better... or stronger because at the end of the day the NL still needs SE AND an apple to even compare damage wise. As you can tell by my ign, i are super conceited -.- ....So if i can have ANOTHER ME following me around everywhere i go id much rather prefer that to some lame ass black shadow that technically isnt even really a shadow since it doesnt really copy the outlines of your specific characters actually appearance.... fail -.-

Mirror image hits 60% of your attack range or some shizz like that, cause it definitely does NOT hit 60% of your damage. It might be a coding error, and if it is then it'll probably be fixed after BB. If not, then too bad for us...

Edit: Just making it clearer... 80% with shadow partner applies for when you hit the "attack" button. 50% applies when using a skill like lucky seven, avenger or triple throw.
