Are Phantoms really that good at bossing?
As I've looking through basil, I've seen a lot of people saying that Phantoms are very good at bossing. Is this true? Are they better bossers than DB and NL?
Also I'll be making a phantom anyway for the link skill, but I may switch over if it's more fun than NL. Throwing stars over and over gets really monotonous.. Sometimes I'd be training and I'd suddenly want to flip my table over.

[quote=hensXIII]at high amounts of funds put in and time put in to learn to control well, phantoms are probably the strongest bossers among thieves from the extremely high potential dps.
personally i find managing turrets more fun than just throwing stars so i switched over from a NL[/quote]
I am pretty sure that NLs are a little more than that xD. They have their hyper skill which has so many damage lines. They have the 15% drop increase skill which is Show Down. They have triple FJ. They have venom and yeah, I have never tried them out xD.

it is true.. phantom IS very hard to fund
but then again, i've never funded any other class before
[quote=StrongSeaMan]@PhreshPrynce: To start, % luck is as expensive as STR % (at least in my server they are the most expensive.)
Second, because of demand, thief gear, in general are VERY VERY expensive.
Third, besides NL, dmg formula for thief classes is quite a let down. It requires lots of funds to have a decent range.
Take me as an exemple, I've spent at LEAST 50b on my char and I only have 191k clean range[/quote]
....
i guess it's because im a db, i cant take any class calling their class expensive seriously. We spend the same money on luk and canes are mad cheap, well compared to daggers so it's really not a big deal, not even gonna bring up the katara to the equation.
If you spent 50b and only have 191k range you did something wrong. High range is meaningless, all that matters is dmg input.
personally i think night lord is better bosser than phantom.
Its not all about DPS guys, DR hinders phantom quite a bit, and arrow blaster limits their mobility a lot.

@sarangbi: Id say Phantom is better. NL is more fun i dunno if you'd find phantom that fun, idk its just.. meh
@UAPaladin @daringwaffle @menisponster
Okay, so Phantom > DB at bossing. Now what do you guys think vs an NL? I'd really love to boss, makes some money, and be able to fund my little brother... but I want to have fun while doing so haha. NL for me has gotten very stale.
[quote=menisponster]As an ex-phantom and as someone who isnt completely dumb, I approve this message.[/quote]
as an ex-dual blade and as someone who is partially retarded, I also approve these messages.
I personally think NL would be more fun funded tho. at 100k range and squishier than jello, NL was painful on anything other than green mushrooms
Well, my main was a dual blade for almost 2 years and I just recently switched to a phantom, and I can definitely say that phantoms are much better bossers than DBs
