Bossing with current range?

So I decided to switch from NL to Shads and I'm liking it so far!
I've managed to get clean 174k range and 210k range fully buffed. I think that's quite good for me since I don't have NX to cube anything.
100% Boss + 73% PDR

Was wondering is Pink Bean doable with this range? How about Easy Magnus?

I know I can just go and test it for myself, but I'd like some opinions before making an attempt so I don't waste time nor lose experience when I die

What are some other bosses that I can solo with my current range?

Thanks in advance!

[quote=ISmileI]@darksin1204 Thanks for the tip! Much appreciated! However I don't think I'll be able to finish Dojo within 5:45, so I guess that's not an option for me

I guess I'll give these bosses a shot.[/quote]

You only need to be in the top 50 to get dojo gloves. If you finish it on a weekday between midnight pst and 6 am pst (- 10-15 min), you'll get a pair because the rankings are never filled. You'll have to collect it between 6am and noon pst though.

i don't see why everyone thinks NL is the best... Im sitting at 640k, and consistently hit between 40-70m,

Unless you've accepted the compensation items on another char, you should get those and just give the bosses a whirl.

you can probably do cht, pb, normal magnus, and hard gollux. Though for the middle two, it requires a bit more skill than just range. pb DR is quite unpredictable compared to other bosses (takes like 20-30 seconds cd of 1min ? not even sure anymore...). One advice is that PB cannot DR while casting skills. So whenever he attacks you, you're free to attack him. Magnus is difficult because you need to pay attention to all his skills, where you are, where he is (and his blue area), and the balls falling at the same time. One good thing about thieves is that we have dark sight which dodges balls, his rushing skill, and we can FJ in ds. This allows us to survive much more easily.

Also, you probably can dojo if you havent already. If you clear before 5:45 am pst on weekdays, you'll be able to get dojo gloves, which are probably one of the best glvoes in the game.

And lastly, the DR on pb does about 26-32k dmg, while the DR on cht does about 2-8k dmg. You can probably survive a hit of dr in cht so its not as necessary to worry about that. PB on the other hand....

@MrSinDeath19 The "best" if just your opinion, so it doesn't effect my decision. The reason why I changed is because to be considered average, Nightlords require tons of funding. I don't have a lot of mesos and I do not have a lot of time to merchant and make said mesos. Shadowers (from what people on basil said) are probably the cheapest to fund among the thief class and quite fun to play. I agree from the fact that I was able to buy a Fafnir Damascus with the amount of mesos I had and enough to purchase other items needed to increase my range.

So you've switched from the best explorer boss class to the game to one that's mediocre at best... ggnore

If CZak takes about 7 minutes, then PB will take maybe 20-25ish minutes? You gotta watch out for the DR on PB that thing is GG, and also the 2nd to left statue as well.

@ISmileI:
CHT has a weapon DR (damage reflect) on the left head and magic DR on the right head, so just gotta pay attention to that. You do not need a party to do HT or need the prequest done, you can just enter.

Ah I see
thank you all very much!
Also for CHT, what is drs and do you still need a party to do HT?

You'll basically autokill easy magnus, he has around 500m hp now, a little more than hilla.
