Switching from Db to Shad?

Hey everyone,
Recently came back to the game. Kind of up to date with everything and just learnt about this job changing thing. Currently have 110k range clean on my DB. I talked to someone and they said that Shadowers were easy to fund and do way more damage. Is this true? Currently fanfir katara's are really expensive so its difficult acquiring one. Did anyone switch from DB to Shad? How do you like it?

Shads are slow and extremely boring and they have like no crit rate from last time I played. I wouldn't recommend it.

[quote=Orgiez]Being a db myself id say that fc isn't something u dont want to depend on bcuz when we die in a boss run if its to early into the buff
then we have to w8 till the cd is over to use it again so our damage is reduced by a decent amount for half the run
at bosses like magnus or gollux which its a pain

Yea im getting that problem alot. I recently started doing normal gollux and like i'd die 1-2 times so I lose out on alot of potential damage.

But wouldn't transposing it to SW make my item untradeable therefore not have any resale value? Kinda stuck with it permanently then right?

alternatively, getting the sengoku katara is actually easier, ranmaru drops them or just waste time making it.
and scroll it +10hammered before transposing to SW.

DB have final cut, in a sense, you actually do less as a shadower
just that you need a heck ton to fund.
