Hey all, Just wanted to post this thread because I was interested in starting a new shadower. However I have a few questions before I actually commit to the class. Q1- this char won’t be my first char so I have some funds and would be planning to wash it to 11.5k hp. I was wondering if this was a good goal to be a seduce target in HT, since I believe after washing to this amount, my gear will be average at best. Q2- I noticed that shad has been buffed in the latest patch and was wondering after the changes, does a shadower mainly use meso explosion as dps in bossing or do more use assassinate boomerang step? Or is it still a bit of both? Q3- How are shadowers dps for popular bosses? I know they likely aren’t as high as NLs or sairs, but how do they compare to other melee classes? That’s all the questions I really have to ask atm. Thanks for any help or responses
Q1: You can so long as you have a bishop playing, No HS mule. If you get DP'ed or 1/1'd you might still be in trouble, other than that, by all means, you can Sed. Q2: No damage change, just range and smoke screen buff. You out DPS meso explosion at a certain point after you're sufficiently geared and have Ass 30+Boomer 30. Honestly, even if aren't super geared, once you have ass30+boomer 30 you can probably stop MEing. Q3: They're okay. Bottom-ish in the middle of the pack, but that doesn't mean they're not good. Pretty friendly early attacker class due to the washing being a lot easier than most classes thanks to meso guard. If there was any reason it's hard for shadowers to get into boss parties is that they don't offer much outside of DPS. Nobody matches up to DPS to Nightlords and Corsairs Most other classes offer some sort of utility, Bucc: SI/TL BM/MM: SE Paladin: Crash Drk: HB Just make some good friends to run with, the class is fine. Pretty fun class since Ass/Boomer combo feels smooth.
