Shadow Shifter VS Taunt

I'm almost 145, and this is what my SP distribution will look like;
[Max] Boomerang Step
[Max] Assassinate
[10] Shadow Shifter
[5] Meso Mastery
[1] Taunt
[1] Smokescreen
[1] Maple Warrior

With BB, there was a complete change in the game's various formulae- Avoidability being one of them. Because of the nerf in the effectiveness of our normal avoidability, the significance of Shadow Shifter has increased, for that reason [and because shifter got an extra 5% success rate at all levels]. Similarly, the removal of 2x EXP as well as lowering the family buffs have made Taunt really shine. From what I can tell, Taunt is definitely the route to take for faster training. Yet, I'm pretty sure that I'll be more than grateful for that 45%+ misses in training and bossing/survivability.

Any input would be great. I'm currently leaning towards Taunt because of the [i]affordability[/i] and [i]availability[/i] of lv 20 books for Shifter. If cost and availability weren't an issue, the decision would be dead even for me.

Looks stupid quoting myself but,whatever uh I mean shifter(nexon messed with avoid),meso mastery(adds to me which is one of your top dps moves),then venom*helms you kill faster if you have a weak range/at bosses,then taunt because you would be at the stage you kill monsters at a decent rate.

Honestly, what i did was max meso mastery and shifter. Then put 19 in mw but if you dont plan on going for mw 30 for a while, i would skip mw. Now, im maxing smoke which will be followed by taunt if LHC is out by that point, Venom if not, or mw assuming I pass a 30 book relatively soon.

Maybe a bit more justification would help me in my decision.
