Tears of a weak, squishy shad
I've been hopping around mules recently for fun (messing around with hypers and whatnot), and my shadower has stumped me. Level 140-165 is horrible already with DIPQ, MP3, and HT solos being the only real exp; however, my Shadower has a pitiful time in all three of these. Is there any easier way for me to level up? Because right now I'm losing exp.

well defense armor shouldn't be a problem before 150 bc places like dipq drops 140 gear and has a set bonus that's reasonable
higher level equips is more armor
[quote=saharshap]Thanks for the responses! I was looking through some of my equips on my shad and realized it has barely anything atm. I'll probably test out what you guys said. Also, isn't mutant snail familiar too high a level for me for now?[/quote]
Yes, but Castle Golem is level 127 and Mr. Alli is like 99?

It's the Mutant Snail. Mutant Pig is for Meso/Item Drop%
Source: I have three types of HP/MP Familiars: Mr. Alli for Self, Mutant Snail for Party, Castle Golem for Map (All three provide the 15% per 10 seconds).
OT: Meso Guard is definitely something you should remember to cast on a frequent basis (I mean keep it active) and my assumption is that you're probably not strong enough to solo DiPQ so I'd suggest running with a guild mate or friend. If anything, you can run Evo Link 3.
Well.
1. Shield Mastery, if you don't have a shield you can talk to the secondary NPC in Hene for a Shadower wristguard (think that's what's called) and buy one from there, it works the same as a shield.
2. Link skills & Character cards! Kaiser & Cannoneer link skills give you HP and Aran Character card gives you HP recovery while you attack.
3. Macros! Got to Macro B-Step and Savage Blow together for best damage and mob control!
4. Star thingy, use this during the stage where you have to attack the flying mobs, it'll attack the ones that try to fly away and make them aggro on you! This is great, no more chasing them down. ^^
5. Dimensional Invasion PQ is pretty straight forward, First round you just stand there and kill, second you attack horse with Assassinate, third you kill mobs that spawn, can use phase dash to zip around, fourth you just chill, fifth you attack the flying mobs as they spawn and you control where they go by using the star, sixth you use assassinate on the tower then the macro bstep/sb on mobs, seventh run.
If it's a simple problem of not doing enough damage, then just get some traces and scroll your gear with 70%s until you get endgame gear. Get all link skills, DA, Kanna, Lumi, Phantom, BT, Zero, etc etc
Hope I helped, if you still cannot do it, then you may have to duo.
Aran character card might help you quite a bit, or any familiar that heals like mutant snail (or pig dont remember which one)
I guess I forgot that meso gaurd existed. Regardless I can't equip CRA gear yet. Should I just try and duo DIPQ with buddies?
I thought shads were the least squishy-ess of all thieves with their meso guard and shield mastery. o.o
Perhaps the lag from 2x is killing you?
Other than that, get some spell traces/star forced cra gear to help boost your def? And a giant snail familiar for hp?
