Demon Avenger also has the sweet link skill just in case you want to switch to another class too.

avenger is all about health and speed. health for power and natural speedy attacks make up the core of the avenger. health drain can be an issue to noobies, but if u can manage ur health well, it's no problem. there's 3-4 skills u can use to regain health like there's no tomorrow, and unlike most warriors, avengers need no stat requirements to wear the strongest gears. DA's are capable bossers cuz of their speed, however they lack a few status abilities to keep them going without force stoppage.

Shade is not that strong imo. I tried him and the only reason he'd be considered strong is for his burst damage and bind. Outside of that he was boring and relied on one skill the entire time. He doesn't have any interesting system to him either. I mean the "canceling" system is cool but it really plays no real use in the class afaik.

DA has good damage to start, but he's much more difficult to fund later down the road. He's not much of a map control class so he doesn't train as fast unless the mobs are tightly pinned within Execution's range. Also they don't have much going on outside of Execution except for Overload Release and Shield Chase, which is occasional at best.

i havent played a demon avenger, but shade (without decent SI) is pretty slow. i cant stand it. you either need to 1hko or have decent SI, to play it.

@RagerRaging: That's assuming your funded enough to 1 shot with spirit claw, most of the average players would use bomb punch when there's huge mobs

@Albums When I used to mess around with shade training him I didn't even use bomb punch because it was useless unless you could 1 hit or couldn't use spirit claw+backstep and change positions attacking at ksh or any training spot for that manner. I only used bomb punch if I got bored of spamming spirit claw.

[quote=num2005]stronger how?
can you elaborate?
and do you need to button mash with shade 4th job? or u can jsut hold your skill buton?[/quote]

Shades are better bossers, they're both pretty decent at training. You do have to button mash for shade's main mobbing move however there will be an update in the future where you can just hold down the key. What I personally do is assign that key to a macro because i have a gaming keyboard that allows me to do so and i just press it once and it holds down the key so i dont have to mash it

Shade is stronger and i like them more because they have no buffs + backstep is fun
