[quote=Oshawott]Well preBB, Assaulter was our ONLY movement skill.

After BB/Pre"Justice"(currently): Some shadowers don't use it, I personally do. It can sometimes get into places where FJ can't alone, If you look on the video I posted. I used it to get to the platform <- of zakum's arms, That saves me 1-2 seconds, You can also do similar in horntail if you know how. Other than movement It can cause high amounts of damage, Plus it IGNORES weapon defence so on high defence monsters It can even be the best DPM skill available.

Post "Justice/Revamp": It is removed and replaced with a rush skill, where instead of going straight though a monster it will PUSH (as all rush skills do) Perhaps it is more useful to us, however I am going to feel extremely hindered in terms of movement.[/quote]
o ahah, thats y some one used it at cwkpq and pretty much teled up the flame,stirge part
edit: well this is somewhat off topic but, i got a NW to 70 and tried avenger out since i knew it was going, and i really wished i didnt cause its so amazing to use, and fun, like at lvl 75 i was hitting 25ks at netts without shadow partner since i know we getting sp resets

You're wrong. LOL After the revamp, Meso Explosion is the main mob skill for CBs LOL

-sigh- Disbanding my Band of Thieves is gonna be one of the hardest things I've ever done in my maple career...

And giving up my hyper teleportation skill? I wish Phase Dash still retained that ability of Assaulter's...

On the bright side, I get to max out my meso skills' potentials much earlier.

the reason i made a shad was for meso explosion. i hate nostalgia posts, but i remember when people dropped meso bags to solo bosses.
assaulter is really cool but i don't mind since the improvements made on shadowers are good. as for band of thieves, i don't really mind either. now i'll be able to use meso explosion more efficiently.. i hope

[quote=reedpipes]NUUUUUUUUUU assaulter!

Thief revamp's going to be great, but tbh one of the main reasons I made a shad was because assaulter is so freaking cool.

@BodyPainting: muspelheim will be invaluably useful to my shad in lhc and anywhere, since shads currently do not have a rushing skill. It's hard to gather all the monsters together.

@4verDecay: I wanna know this too![/quote]

No such thing as training in LHC, its sucks terribly after the revamp.

[quote=BodyPainting]It's not nice at all, it's not as useful as BoT to train and it's quit annoying in fact to rush towards enemies while training. It's make it harder to train on platform since you'll most likely always fall from the edges. Personally I'd trade both Muspelheim and Carnival edge for BoT. You barely use muspelheim post 120 as well while you could use BoT forever.[/quote]

Rushing is actually pretty dam useful for Shads o_o
It'll be so much easier to get monsters into a pile of coins, and it's useful in general to get a mob together.
It also helps us improve our boss soloing ability. You'll DEFINITELY use a rush move past 120. It's useful for a LOT of situations.
Carnival Edge for BoT was a bit of a 1v1 for mobbing trade off.
Our training style will change a bit, but I'm liking CE. It's nothing like Phantom Bl0w at all, I'm not sure where anyone's getting this from.
It's an improved version of Savage Bl0w.

Phase Dash sucks. It's a poor substitute for both of those skills. "HURR NOW YOU CAN MOVE AND MOB AND RUSH".
The movement is different, the enemy movement is different, the mobbing pushes you forward unless you jump so it chains poorly with other skills, and we really don't need a rush move as badly as some people make it seem.
All the other parts of the update are good, though.

[quote=bubblecup118]Not really. Carnival edge just seems like savage blow from 2nd job, just with 2 extra hit/ Muspelheim, GMS calls it Phase Dash is a nice rush skill.[/quote]

Well preBB, Assaulter was our ONLY movement skill.

After BB/Pre"Justice"(currently): Some shadowers don't use it, I personally do. It can sometimes get into places where FJ can't alone, If you look on the video I posted. I used it to get to the platform <- of zakum's arms, That saves me 1-2 seconds, You can also do similar in horntail if you know how. Other than movement It can cause high amounts of damage, Plus it IGNORES weapon defence so on high defence monsters It can even be the best DPM skill available.

Ill definately mis assualter, BoT helped in 3rd job tons..cheif dits will be meso explosion oriented in 3rd job I guess? They moved greed to 3rd job, toggled pick pocket, rush move, c.edge to generate mesos.
