Most optimal way to train/boss?
Title.
Recently started playing my shadower again and would like to know the best combination of skills (in terms of dps and not actual damage).
For training I currently use BStep + SB on a macro.
For bossing I currently use assassinate + BStep (wondering if it's better to DS before using nate).
Please enlighten me if there are ways I could improve, thanks!
PS. Also wondering if Mesos Explosion is worth anything anymore? (if not then i can free up pickpocket for another skill)

[quote=DeadlyStab]@antonlabz: Ignore that guy, he was just trolling. You pretty much have it all set already, but a couple things to add.
When you're mob training, if you're strong enough to 1-3 hit them with meso explosion, then that becomes reasonable to use, not just talking about places like sdh where they have tons of hp, but it is amazing at evo if you want to farm an event.
As for bossing, I assume you meant you don't macro assassinate and bstep since you didn't say so, the difference isn't really there, if you didn't mean that, then this sentence is irrelevant. Using dark sight before assassinate as a macro though is not recommended as the delay only slows it down and really doesn't increase your dps, but if you're doing something like dojo or waiting out dr to be able to attack, then its perfectly fine to open up your first attack from dark sight.[/quote]
Thanks for the insight
SB?
Anyway for bossing i got used to Meso Explosion and then Assasinate, if you have lots of coins or the Hyper Active on you can use use assasinate 2 times in a row with max count (Maybe in december patch when Body Count Max gets reduced to 3 you can always do it 2 times per meso explosion). I don't hit max damage with Meso Explosion, but i can deal a slightly weaker BS as long as there is only one target and have enough coins on the floor.

[quote=pman1123]well u seem like a nice enough guy ill share with you an op dps macro set up. Put Mesos explosion on a key you use a lot,
Macro1 Phase Dash, Shadower Instinct, SB
Macro2 Bstep, Midnight Carnival, Assassinate
Macro3 Phase Dash, Bstep, SB
(in theory use ME after each macro, get the timing down and youll cut off part of the delay between skills.[/quote]
Could you explain your reasoning behind Shadower Instinct in Macro 1? I must be missing something...

its better to just spam nate, when bossing. meso explosion is good for: to build up your body counts. when you sell your spare kidney and your house, you might be able to hit cap with meso explosion.
