Job changing in regards to 5th job?

Debating on changing from Shadower to Dual Blade. I know Shadowers have been getting shafted for a while, and after seeing the latest 5th job skill, I'm honestly disappointed.

My only concern is the mesos it's gonna cost me (from buying Mastery Books, which can probably wait until AFTER DMT) and the V matrix.

I'm assuming I am not going to be able to get anything free for Dual Blade, so would disassembling my current upgraded nodes (1 skill node and like 3 boost nodes) give me anything more than the standard amount for disassembling?

Also, is this a good idea in general? I know it's going to be pricey.

Depends on what class you are better at playing. DB (as of now) has more burst and DPS than shadower and have more mobility than shadowers. Shadowers, however, have super-stance (knockback resist to everything which regular 100% stance cannot do) and semi invincibility with smokescreen for a good duration of time that applies to party. As a solo bosser DB will be better but party play wise Shadowers are better and so overall both classes are equal. Play what you want

(I played both shadower and DB so I know how both work and they are not even THAT far in DPS)

I'm pretty sure you'd get more node shards for disassembling higher leveled nodes, but I have no clue on how much more.
I have no clue on Shadower vs. Duel Blader, but I hope you are 100% certain that Duel Blader is the right choice before you make the switch.
