Nightwalkers have no damage boosting buffs

[quote=xYGaryYx]Night Walkers get a skill called "Call of Cygnus" which gives +15% all stats(no cool down on the skill or anything). I think that helps out damage a lot.[/quote]

yeah uh, that's basically maple warrior with a different name

OT: the less active buffs the better, don't need to waste time during boss fights to buff up if most of the boosts are passive.

Just because they have no damage boosting buffs doesn't mean they have no stat boosts at all. Throwing Expert adds 30 attack and Dark Blessing adds 30 attack and 15% ignore. Then they have pretty good damage %'s on skills, fast attack speed, a pretty strong DoT, and bats which add another layer of damage and mob control as well as giving healing.... Buffs aren't everything

Lol, so what's booster? +2 att speed = 15-20% more damage. What's Shadow Partner? 70% more damage, twice as many lines. There's more to having damage than +40 att. Those set boosts are actually among the weakest of the damage boosters.

They just have higher natural damage while other classes may have lower base damage that gets improved with buffs. Said buffs are always on anyway so it doesn't make a difference.
It's just basic game balancing and really doesn't mean anything.

Shade has no buffs at all besides MW30, but it's one of the highest DPS/best bossers ingame, so classes aren't judged by their buffs. NW has passives too and high damage and they're pretty fast, and very OP hypers.

Decent damage %'s, good weapon multiplier, some good passive power buffs, three shadow partners, good dps, etc, etc.

That should say something if they're that good without needing damage boosting buffs.

Their potential is higher than most classes.
