Shadower bossing

What skill(s) should a shadower be using when fighting bosses (for example RA) for max dmg output? I'd assume you'd spam assassinate but would you:
spam dark sight+assassinate?
spam assassinate alone while cancelling the last hit?
spam assassinate alone without cancelling the last hit?
alternate between bstep and darksight+assassinate to charge shadower instinct?
midnight carnival+meso explosion?

DS + nate, cancelling the final hit is the best. Forget about using Bstep in between each, accumulating body counts for the bonus is not worth it.
If you macro DS and nate together and hold down the key, the final hit gets cancelled.

I did a calculation for this a while back, scroll down to the comments

I like to charge my Nate with bstep even though I probably should just be doing the ds+nate method, idk
Zak is prob the only time where I put up ME when he weapon cancels and I use that to charge

This is what I do for stationary bosses
I have dark sight>Nate>Bstep macroed
and if you hold down the key that you macored it on it cancels the last hit for nate

Spam Boomerang Step>Assassinate, and cancel the last Assassinate hit into another Boomerang Step>Assassinate, rinse and repeat. If the boss is moving away from you, use the last Assassinate hit to catch up to him and continue your Boomerang Step>Assassinate. This is really for easy bosses though, harder bosses you can't really just sit in their faces and expect to win (Chaos Pierre is a prime example).

At least, that's what I do.
