Upcoming Thief Revamp--Which class to pick?

There is a thief revamp coming to GMS in the next few months and all of the thief classes get buffed with new skills and such. However, I was wondering which class would be the best for me to play; help is appreciated (especially from people who actually play KMS) . The choices are between dual blade, nightlord, phantom, and shad...
I'm looking for a class that:

1) Can do good damage with ~5b funding
2) Can work in a party very well
3) Has good survivability

Any opinions are appreciated.

What DPS/dmg per skill would I get with each of those classes at lv ~160?

Shads...5Bill? you won't be doing EPICWDFBBQSOPRO Damage but you will be doing decent

But for a NL funding is incredibly difficult as well...plus less HP

Phantom should be a better choice

DB is too hard to survive: You have to be skilled at the game (movement wise) to be a pro at using DB

Conclusion Phantom...with your funding and your party fetishes and your survivability

But if you dont mind damage wise? Choose Shad

Make whichever, the majority of the equips are interchangable. Just pick the one you find most appealing.

NL is going to suck dont pick them. Pick a shadower, then make a DB when/if db revamp comes

you could do this, make all 4 of them and just buy like 2-3B in %luk stuff and then choose which one you like the best and use the remaining funds for weapons/more%luk

All four support 1.
For number two (Best to worst): Phantom, Shadower, NightLord, Dual Blade.
Survivability: In my opinion Shadowers and Phantoms are even, and Night Lords and Dual Blades are even.

I think shads are the strongest because they have all the criteria you asked for and seem to have a greater damage output than the rest. Dbs are very comparable though, but, I still think Shads are a tad better.

Shad pretty much. Fits all of the above better than the rest. I'm pretty sure any class can be good after 5b of funding.
