For CM, I definitely love playing them because you see a massive stack of lines whenever you hit mobs or a boss (thanks to buckshot which may I add has 0 cooldown). CM also has an amazing summon and a pretty nice set up hyper (nerfed in damage, but no longer have to stand and keydown). I think the fact that they can hit up to 15 lines means it would most definitely not be a waste to fund a CM, 50m (max fund) x15 means you'll hit 750m per hit. A big downside to the massive amount of lines is the attack speed which is the main distinguishing factor between CM and NW. If you like the stacked lines and being able to mob full maps with summons/set ups, and don't mind attacking slow I think you should go CM. It is definitely a very fun class and not a waste to fund.
I love my cannoneer, got to 210 yesterday, so I'll suggest that. I'm also not a huge fan of thieves.
Advantages to cannoneer: with hypers, you hit 15 lines with your mob skill and 1v1. That's just fun. The monkies are amazing for stuff like Gollux, the lvl 170 hyper is a bit disappointing but it's useful for clearing out weak mobs, like Gollux and Czak's mobs. Anyone who tells you Cannoneers aren't mobile hasn't played a Cannoneer recently. With Monkey Push, Cannon Jump, and Blast Back, our movement is amazing. Also extra storage space, and we can xfer nx with other explorers, plus you can make cannoneers now, whereas you have to wait for nws.
Downsides include slow attack speed and using the same main stat as Shades. Also our pt buff is a bit lame.
Unfortunately, I can't make any statements about NW since they haven't come out yet and I haven't read the kms update notes very thoroughly.
[quote=Kazzooey]Statistically speaking, Cannon has good 1v1 and great mobbing while NW has alskdjfowefj 1v1 and terrible mobbing (might be better with the GMS avenger reskin?). Cannon seems more tanky overall and NW seems more mobile. Both have pretty good, yet very different, utility. Cannons are super easy to fund and hit high numbers, NW is a thief so.... probably not.
Aesthetically speaking, Cannons just like to esplode everything and do so very well(I love my explosions <3) while NW have a really cool mobility/vampire-y feel to them. Personally I think I'll prefer my Cannon more when it comes out but I'm super hyped for NW and Avenger return so we'll see.[/quote]

nw>everyone in every aspect except maybe paladins until after their nerf
I don't find you anymore indecisive than those silly bowmen in the Archer thread when it comes to them picking the "best" bowman class. You'd think by now they'd just headbutt their computer and wherever their head landed they could just choose that class. If you like shadows and bats (Or pretty much anything that has to do with Hot Topic) go with Night Walker. If you're into Michael Bay then I think the answer is obvious.
nw nw nw nw nw nw nw nw nw nw !
Go with cannoneer because there are going to be like 1000000 new NWs when they come out.
Cannons do get a pseudo version of shadow partner as a hyper at 150, but it's still not good enough
yur just gonna go with the revamping class.

NW will be the most bandwaggoned class in existence. With that being said, I would go NW. God knows I love throwing stars...
Cannoneers are painfully weak. NWs are not.
