100b Shade or Shadower?

Hello Basilers,

I'm about to fund and create my secondary for the sole purpose of bossing.
I'm willing to allocate somewhere between 75b-100b in the long run.

I'd approximate this would give me about ~700k-1m range clean.
My future goals are to duo every boss out there except CVellum.
I'll be aiming mainly for Hellux, Empress, and Hard Magnus.

I'm currently interested in two classes: Shade and Shadower

While I know Shade is the "better bosser" (simply because of better utilities), I'm mostly interested in boss times (I guess this translates to dpm).

Which one of these two classes would better suit my needs?

Thanks for the help!

@mcjjashik: I didn't either, this is my first time trying a projectile based class. I'm really enjoying it. Although inventory expansion is needed :c

I hope you have a great time, whichever you choose! & Thanks, gotta love tyrants of all kinds right?

Nice Basil ID Tyrant!

Forgot to account for buff times, thanks for the reminder!
As much of a damage-is-fun-to-me, I never had an interest in the throwing classes even in 07.. I don't know why /shrugs

I found shade to be really boring. Just stand still and spam skill.

Woah such a random trend of basil posts with similar topics.

Darn, may I have some insight regarding who may be more suitable for boss times duo?

Thanks again

Shadowers can hit up to 100m, I believe.

I didn't enjoy my shade because it was simply 1 attack. While you can argue that against shadowers as well, I feel there are a lot more mechanics to shadowers that make it much more interesting to boss with. I can't answer that in terms of DPS, but I feel shadowers are much more fun to boss as.
