Will there be a BoT Replacement?

Hello fellow Shadowers,
Will there be any skills to replacement BoT in terms of efficiency and mob control?
Because when I'm grinding, I rely heavily on the BoT+ B-step combo
and I'm not sure Carnival edge will be help me out during the Justice Patch..

The problem is that Savage Blow only hits one monster than 6(Which is want I'm talking about).[/quote]

Here's what you do.
Muspell them to one side <<<< or >>>>>
Then use carnival Edge 1-2 tims, and then explode!
They'll most likely die before you finish rushing them lol.

3rd job may be a bit more of a pain, but 4th job is gonna be great <3

In what way am I being recalcitrant? I'm quite happy to go along with this revamp.. you guys are the ones finding every possible nit to pick with it.. claiming that there are no mob skills in 3rd job. (which is false) Meso explosion hits up to 10 monsters... up to 15 times, making it potentially one of the best mob skills in the game. Yeah theres a bit more strategy involved, and a LOT more skill.. But to some of us, that's a good thing. This game is hella easy lately. (Also I believe you mean carnival edge, not savage blow)

I Don't get what you're trying to say in the last sentence.
Just because I don't like the changes doesn't make me less fond of Shadowers.
I was just commenting how Mush won't be as efficient as BoT, because I use BoT as a precursor of ME. Mush won't give me as much mesos as BoT does.

[quote=Laguniroth]It's called meso explosion. Nearly every single third job skill we get improves it in some way(even muspelheim which wasnt meant as a mob skill so much as a skill to keep the monsters on top of the coins) so it's pretty obvious that's what nexon expects us to use during it. I say bravo for a completely unique play style, and if you can't hack it then maybe you simply aren't cut out to be a shadower.[/quote]
I rarely use Meso Explosion when I grind though, because I can't obtain my drops if I use Pickpocket + ME. It's quite annoying when I blow up ALL the mesos, and I end up with none. I guess Mushpelheim will be useful, but it will never be as efficient as BoT.

vampire or steal are the only mob skills that connect in general
for stronghold/regular training, you can use the rush move on a stairway (cause u cant rush off an edge of a platform, so technically, you can do that.)
the last possible way is to CE+bstep, then bomb the mesos (which will slowly push the monsters to the left)
