How are shads atm?

I got hacked about 2 years ago and quit. Started this 2 days ago, currently 82.
I'm just curious how Shads are doing comparatively to everything else.
Then again I really don't care I'm going to be playing this regardless.
Also what skills should I max first as CB? I maxed Assaulter and now I'm working on BoT.

[quote=MrTouchnGo]@aaronthecow: Shadowers have higher %PS than NLs. I don't think their ranges differ drastically from ours, in fact, it might be lower.

Calculated DPS is assumed to be with no lag, etc. and I know that. Actual DPS can't be calculated or compared because everyone has different ranges, so it's kinda useless to think about.[/quote]

@MrTouchnGo: Ill go do a side by side comparison with classes later ,I'm not sure how we compare to nls but I'll test a similar range later.Calculated dps doesn't mean anyyything.Ie:mercedes constantly dying at empress=no dps/lowered/wasted time.

[quote=aaronthecow]lolwrong,shadowers have fine dps.[/quote]

3210%/s is pretty low compared to new classes that have come out as well as classes that have had their revamps already. Hell, Bishops have higher calculated %PS than us.

[quote=MrTouchnGo]Shads have pretty low DPS currently, although after the revamp, they'll place within top 5 in regards to %PS.[/quote]

[quote=purplerainii]Shads are already great attackers and with our upcoming revamp will be almost the best. Stick with it and i would lookup a guide for the skill thing because its been a while for me. But definately max BoT[/quote]

[quote=389817]@HoboBoxess: well thats not a prob. i have a few buddys who dont have any funding (who happen to be shads) and they still hit pretty decent. around 14x they hit 90k crits with Boom step. Not bad compared to wen i first made my shad lol, i made mine right after big bang (yes i was a bandwagoner) and i barely hit 40k non crits at lvl 135.. and yes that was with MAX bstep... at least now 33k range isnt improbable. You should do fine, especially with the revamp coming. The atk boosts from it will help considerably, as well as the increased damage %'s and spammable assassinate + rush.[/quote]Yeah. Big bang has made it so easy to level now that I can farm stuff and make money alot easier.
I was playing maple for 2 years and hit 113. I'm 102 now after 4days of play. Only double exp I've had was from the crap last night. It's pretty easy now. I used to have to sit at Typhons for like 4 - 5 hours just to level once.
But yeah. Thanks for the help. Getting funded shouldn't be too hard.

[quote=389817]Shads are tons of fun, and i kill most monsters/bosses faster than MOST of my guildies/friends. It'l take you some funding, but after the justice update, it wont be that bad. it takes very little funding to actually have a 30k range.. i spent about 3b on equips, (half of which on a 160atkdag), not any end game equips as of yet, but 3b for a 30k range? most mercedes dont even get that with all their damage % buffs. (i run into alot of 15x/16x/17x/18x mercedes that take 5times as long to kill a bear wolf as me, youd think that if you got to those levels ud hit more than 20kx2 with ishtar.. but you'd be amazed.) hope this helped.[/quote]

Not funded at all

[quote=aregon360]Technically, I dont really compare classes. Its about how much you enjoy the class. Shadowers have always been my favorite because they are just FUN!

However, after Post-Justice Patch...we Shadowers lose a part of ourself (BOT to be exact), and we look a little more like DBS. But it doesnt change the fact that true shadowers will always remain true to ourself.[/quote]Yeah I don't really care how bad shadowers are. Not saying they are, but they're alot of fun. Looking forward to 4th job in the next few days.
