Shadower

Honest Question for Shadowers

When was the last time Shadowers got nerfed? Aside from the removal of skills like Assaulter, BoT, Taunt, etc if you can call that a nerf.
All I can remember are nothing but skill changes and buffs.

[quote=SunsetChaos]That's not a buff.. that's just changing our boomerang step completely...
If you like showdown so much to compare it to boomerang step, just play a NL?[/quote]

His basil character actually is a NL

I don't think Shadower actually got an active nerf. But they do tend to lack behind other classes in some areas.

[quote=zane3341]I think boomerang stab needs a buff. NL's showdown is superior in almost every way. Showdown can hit with a rectangular area while boom stab is a straight line. Book stab doesn't get a exp and drop bonus too[/quote]

@DeeeMon gobi training was boring imo.

[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFBEkDr0bls]THIS[/url] is the gameplay I really miss. Really old video 2008 but good control and stuff that demonstrates the old shadower gameplay.
Hopefully we'll get these skills back with 5th job...
Edit: just remembered how much I miss the old savage blow... why did they make savage blow mobbing instead of MC

@DeeeMon I miss the old buff animations. So much cleaner/smoother. </3

All I can think of is RED's Meso Explosion too, but I agree that it did get better. I remember I used to rage when I missed exploding mesos near the mobs. Now it rarely misses.
http://youtu.be/qkxLSioVhAo Good old Goby days.
Also there was some weird thing where you couldn't explode the mesos behind your character, I'm not sure if that's fixed yet or if it doesn't matter anymore since Phase Dash can just push mesos now.

Personally I'd consider that a buff in mobbing though. I actually use it more than before the change. Does a lot more damage on single targets as well.
