Is there a shadower update?
Hi guys, I was randomly derping around maple today and someone said that there's going to be another Shadower "update"? He says all his friends are buying Shadower items and making Shadowers... I'm not sure what he means by that, is there any sort of changes going to be made on shadowers? Perhaps on other versions of MS? Or was he just lying? : P
thx

Looking at this video, I think you do have to cast it 5 times to stack. But it doesn't look like theres an animation delay, kinda like activating pickpocket. :s
I think it was a passive buff. I was watching some people activate it, and I don't remember it delaying their skills

I really want this because it would be such a pain in the rear to have to re-cast every time you land a crit because it forces you to stop attacking, even if briefly.
I want to hug you and treat you for dinner for saying you were "randomly derping around maple today".
I haven't really noticed an increase in Shadowers. Interesting, all previous Shadwagons ended up... hardly being Shadwagons at all. It's probably the Hyperskills that have them interested.
[quote=Singuy]Actually bstep gets 20% damage from hyper, so its 3(730%) + 3(730x.7) from shadow partner, making it 3723% per cast. Then again we have to take delay into account as well, it isn't really spammable with that short delay.[/quote]
Oh right, that is true. I just can't hit max with boomerang step yet so it is still my strongest skill for leveling at lhc or hoh even with the delay... I am jealous of the shadowers who hit max with midnight carnival
[quote=FaithDood]Hyper skills for shadowers are pretty godly. Boomerang Step already hits for 710% x 2 for 1420%; combine that with shadow partner and you have over a skill that hits for over 2,400% damage on mobs as of now. As Doomfinger mentioned, boomerang step will get a 3rd hit, raising the damage per attack to over 3,600%. And Flip the Coin is also an excellent damage booster; you can easily youtube some videos of shadower hyper skills if you are interested.
Since my main is a shadower, I am really looking forward to this [/quote]

There is no such thing as a cool down on Flip The Coin, [b]BUT[/b] Flip The Coin can only be used when you hit a critical. Thus, You attack (get a crit) activate FTC. Attack again (Not crit). Attack again (get a crit) Use FTC again. Wash and Repeat until you get FTC stacked 5 times and voila, you get a buff that was supposed to be really OP (Stacked 20 times) and got rebalanced to 5 times.
@Chubsin: The complaining over BoT and assaulter will never end.
[quote=turtlebear]flip the coin sounds like a rly cool buff : ) just a question tho, it doesn't mention a CD, is there one? Or is it like a regular buff?[/quote]
I don't think there is, I guess the fact that you have to activate the skill each time you hit a crit to stack the skill is the only downside?
[quote=ProBlades]Unless we get BoT or assaulter back, no one cares.[/quote]
Is there really a need to be that dramatic? I understand how that feels, having both a Shadower and a Night Lord myself. There's no need to post a useless comment on somebody's thread though.
OT: No, there's no bandwagon worthy revamp coming up. Maybe your friends just decided they wanted to play the class.

Yeah it's so annoying

There are some minor changes when the hyper skills come:
Shadower: Muspelheim - number of monsters hit has been increased from 4 to 8
Shadower: Meso Explosion - range has been increased
Shadower: Shadow Instinct - duration has been increased from 60 seconds to 120 seconds
Shadower: Assassinate - critical chance has been adjusted
Unless we get BoT or assaulter back, no one cares.
Flip the coin skill gives damage and crit %, forgot how much though. And B-step gets a 3rd line
ahhh i see. I read over the notes and the only one i found is that our hyper skill- Assassinate's dmg cap has been raised. Is that all? LOL
Maplestory Unlimited. It's a patch already in KMS. Probably coming to GMS in summer.
A few attacks get stronger. That's basically it... I don't get why your friends are so excited.
