probably NW after the phantom nerf, but you need to master jump attacking

There was a picture of a Shad already hitting 105m on Midnight carnival here on basil. It exists, and a lot of funding is not impossible.[/quote]

In Dojo, yes, but what about bosses with physical resist?
In KMS (with their MEEs and stuff), there's a shad that can hit 100m midnight carnivals on Hard Magnus...

[quote=xterryxxbuix]@shadeace there are PLENTY of shads that can cap....[/quote]
On Assassinate, that's likely.
But 105m lines on Midnight Carnival or Meso Explosion, that takes a lot more funding...

NW, No question about it and if you jump attack makes it better

Night Walkers

Night Walkers are the supreme bossing thief class but to me the most boring of them all that are mentioned. Dual Blades and Phantoms are more fun. And this is just a matter of opinion. But NW mobbing is horrible and all other aspects of the class are. But that is what is sacrificed for one of the best DPS. Give or take.

NW with the superior shadow partner that can cap 50m instead of the regular 75%

[quote=FluffyLeopard]What about xenon r they any good compared to these classes?[/quote]

In a 100% capping scenario, xenons are behind the three aforementioned classes you mentioned.
In a non capping scenario, after the revamp they're able to compete with dbs until the db starts hitting above the 35-40m mark.

Buffed Xenon with a [b]Terminus whip OR +1 Atk Speed IA, Green MPE and Decent SI[/b] actually surpasses phantom in hits/second theoretically [i]unless[/i] the phantom uses arrow blaster+mille or arrow blaster+rapid fire.
(17 hits/sec vs 16.66)

Without that +1 IA or Terminus whip, they're just slightly below phantom hits per second wise, at 15.45 hits/sec.

In a non capping scenario, they'll probably have similar damage per line with similar amounts of funding, perhaps a bit more.

And then they all lose to Night Walkers, who reigns supreme as the bossing thief.
(Unless you're that KMS Shadower)

[quote=zpattack12]When you cap, honestly it probably is Phantom, just because they can get a huge hits per second. Remember, phantoms took a huge hit to their damage, but their hits/s are still intact, which is what really matters when you're hitting cap damage.[/quote]

Uh no it isn't. Arrow platter got destroyed, they increased the delay on it by 50%.

Tossup between DB and NW, depends on boss as well
