damn 155m mdc
bloody explosion > ME
stab for farming, assa for bossing
what you thinking boss
you feel stronger?
well I guess your MDC increased significantly which would make it hard to tell
Dang BE not capping? 
i need to retest because i realized i had the 30% creation chance hyper instead of the 20% CD hyper for whatever reason
I dont see a reason to change between them when farming
Bloody is doing the same thing+ BA
Well im seeing improvement on my burst but ME is doing lass then he did before...
Thank you very much, for pointing out the obvious 
assa hits 3 and stab hits 7, stab is better for farming
I talk about bloody and ME also...
oh
yeah I said bloody is better
I didn't say switch between them, bloody is just better
since theres a reset hyper passive , which passive should i get
Where the reset?
check pins
check shared mailbox
Full buffed. I cant really tell if we got buff or a nerf
line count from before and now is around the same for 1 minute
Yea the mdc increase makes it hard to judge the real impact. But I’m definitely doing something wrong because your BE mins are so high compared to mine
Did you full buff?
30s + Tangs + guild PA potion
Oh hmm
Maybe base stats? Or maybe gotta run full full buff? I ran fog with 30s+ tangs as well so not sure
My base stats zero buffs. Maybe can compare to see
shouldnt? not 100% sure but FD goes down and up depending on when i have the heart buff
dmed
whales
you just as whale relax
ty but lmao im not even lvl 181 yet reset no use cause everything else i did right
Hey guys, whats the best emblem for the secondary wep?
PDI/MDI
crit rate is also okay if you don't plan on going necro weapon
So ba is not good then?
BA is still perfectly acceptable tho
Not optimal but if you have it anyways better to focus other stuff first
I mean like I said it's not optimal
Welp ill focus something else in the meantime
But if I gotta decide between swapping from BA to PDI and attempting an exalt I'll choose the second
i dont, but thats due to PTSD with exalt
any tips on using trickblade in GHB?
its griefing me 80% of the time
get used to it, best tip
Most enormous whale in American Inosys. Strongest shadower/player in the whole world. If anyone can beat his DPM, please let me know the person and the class. 
@torpid saffron 
BenWong has no matches to this
Got thet today... Ty
so nobody was able to tell whether this was a buff or nerf? 
whats the best hyper skills for bossing?
np brotha 🙏
Its neither a buff or a nerf from what im seeing but its hard to really tell since there was mdc raise as well
I noticed extra 400m on immortal, extra 50m on GHB, did 30m less on lotus, and almost the same in lucid (it was good run for me)
GHB multi
Still number 1 

Is there a recommended bossing/hunting skill wheel pre lvl 200?
.
Get out of here. You a DB
my hero
Hello, new player here. Can I ask what is the recommended V passive and hyperstat for shadower please?
@strange ivy
@forest remnant
v skill level up priority seqeuence
Primary trio: assa, meso explo, shadow veil (focus on this first)
Secondary: cruel, dark flare, sudden raid
hyperstats guide by Delta
thank you so much!
no worries!
Disagreed btw, shadowers tend to cap easily
depends on his gear basically to switch mdc around within hypers
@static island ^^^
icic
can I ask if this dagger worth the price tag? Emblem is CD
not in my server - compare the price to a tradeable mythic CD dagger if you can find one
if you have CDD alts a tradeable mythic will be the better option
Thanks for the advice!
Little newbie Shadower in the making 
Lil newbie with 4m power 
I see nothing 
does anyone have a post 200 skill wheel
Hyper ??
What Itachi said…
whats the bottom right preset?
Same skill on repeat
ok and then u only use assassinate for bossing?
i just reached 200, ive been using assassinate and cruel stab for AB 😅 not sure if thats optimal
Yea
thanks!
Oh ive been using the wrong skill for bossing
Is the only difference between the hyper passives for bossing and ab-ing the 3x assassinate vs 3x cruel stab?
on msm do u need to weave for optimal dmg or just spam assassinate
Hi, how many iframes does shadower have?
Depends
Technically 3
15s dark sight
V1
V2 every 15s
But you can use your v1 and each burst is 1 iframe to dodge lotus laser for example
and into darkness is like blink on steroids, but no iframe
Is this the hyper passives? The pin comment isn't clear (to me at least). It says ME is debatable....does that mean to invest in it or not?
After getting V1-4 and 3 trios what is the next skill I should add ? Venom blast/last resort/maple bless/shadow walker?
What's the order of priority with those 4 skills?
Is that for my question or pancakes? Either way, maybe I'm just very slow but i just don't understand. The pin does show a picture of the vmatrix but that doesn't really say the priority. Unless the order of the skills is the priority (from top left to buttom right). There is another pin that says v3>v4>v1>2 but from pancakes question it sounds like he already got v1-v4 and is asking about priority of other skills. And i still stand by my question since the pin says ME is debatable and that's not clear (for me at least) if you should hyper passives points into it or not.....
Pins doesn't say order of those skills priority lol, is it just the order ur picture is? Venom first and so on?
it does say, lol

its the thief v-skills 
Ah ok fair 🤣 I'm new no bully bro
Ok and how do u know which is 1 and which is 4 tho😅
Noob question I know but honestly didn't figure out where to see that
Goddess Blessing > Venom Burst > Shadow Walker > Last Resort
Ah ok so that's how u number them ok I see gotcha, I thought that's the case but wasn't sure thanks mate🙏
What happened if I do the last resort first
death

They all lvled up pretty simultaneously for me. 
So @strange ivy spreading fake news? I almost fall for it
Rip 3k nodes at once and see what happens 
devil taught me
are there any skill set combo for shadower
is shadower good bossing/farming class?
good bosser alright farmer
Ty bro
When do you find is a good time to use that shadower skill next to blink? I want to add it to my wheel but not sure when the best times would be
More used for Bosses like Will and vhilla when blink or trick blade is not back up and i need to tp to the boss asap
Thank you!
Does the ratio between CD/BA matter for shadowers? I see so many BA eqs in the TS but none for CD and I've been looking for a few weeks now :/
good to have a ratio from what I've heard, most people go 4CD:4BA, or 6CD:2BA, diminishing returns on CD on anything past 450%, so you can start building your equips and lean more towards BA if you feel your CD is getting too high
I'm going 4:4 and I think it'll be optimal as my CD is already pretty high and my emblems are mostly lvl 3
@junior ginkgo
Great thanks so much!
anyone can attest if shadower must have pet buff to farm sf144??
nah shadower pretty tanky, rank up a couple of your uniques to legendary and you should be good (weapon, outfit, glove, boots first)
Is smokescreen not good to be included in a preset? For the debuff on crit dmg reduction
pretty useless imo, good for party members but the time you spend to cast it vs just using another skill. id just hit mobs/boss one more time
Appreciate the insight, makes sense. Thanks a bunch!
thats pcms 
you the goat shadower. i just dont use it cause im noob
Appreciate the insight, makes sense. Thanks a bunch!
Always listen to @forest remnant #1 shadower 
im #2 in inosys you #1 inosys

Start sharing content bich
theres nothing to share. I'm learning from Jawn’s videos lmao

Noob shad here 
I see your scores Mr. 
what scores
show us the score
Broken
At what point do you find it best to weed out ME? I’m at 45mdc.
Hi newbie here, can anyone share auto battle preset for af380?
Any special bossing or auto battle preset ?
Or should I just go with recommended?
here's my bossing
when bossing, before burst I manually pop my (in order) smoke screen, dark sight, shadow walker, epic adventure, and last resort, also make sure ds4 is activated before bursting
you don't want any of those on pet buffs ^ manual them to set up your burst
Some of his most recent content shows that he’s not using it in bosses @strange ivy
what am I not using? 
Usually my go-to except for Will, Dash replaceable by Blink for example for Damien
just for Will
Thank you so much yall! Love this community 🥰
For AB I just switch the purple color to stab is good enough right?
Most of our shadower skills is AOE
Thanks! I’ll take a look when I’m back
Nah, idk what they’ve done but it feels like the rope lift mechanics are way worse compared to introduction but you can add it ofc
I see
Do shadower farming still the strongest among all thief’s ?
We got the extra mesos 20% right ?
Or 5% I think
not the best, but decent
the goat
Hi everyone! Good evening, may I know why your MDC 158m you can output 158m per line? Is it because your DEF IGN 50%?
Hi, sorry for confusing if any happens but did I get this message right? Your using this for bossing and also ab (in starfield I guess)?
thats ab @abstract zenith
Ah Okay got it. And that preset for purple thingy is same I guess right?
Also, one last question before I stop u bothering. This beeing the ab skills means that the previous build is for bosses then right?
yes and yes
Cool. Thanks for the answers!
Have a noob question hoping someone can advise..
Is it worth lvling buff skill nodes such as decent sharp eyes, decent hyper body?
I know lvling up will only add PA/MA increase %.. just curious does people lvl these or not?
if you are at a certain level with the ressources, yea
otherwise no and fokus your investment on other things first
how do shadowers compare to dbs at endgame? Thinking of rerolling with the anniversary event
DB nexon's favorite child since release, but we got more aura points 
why is my min damage so low but I'm capping my max dmg
are those my shadow partner lines?
Lol yes
I’m in the same boat, thinking of rerolling to shadower with this upcoming event
Or should i just start one now? Or wait till the event and create a new char?
I think i’ve decided but just wondering if i should wait or just start it now
Does burning only apply for new chars or can do an existing char?
sometimes it's only new characters, I'd just wait and start building gear if you're impatient
Thank you sir
Thank you sir, which gear should i focus on first
Is a necro dagger already too much
@strange ivy is the goat ask him all the questions
sure Mr.300k+ culvert, sure

I dont even play Shad 
im curious about your stats, mind to share? 
I know you DB
I’m in a party AB right now but
tyvm
I need help
I heard you’re the grandmaster
im 64m noob
@forest remnant da goat
or @dusk ledge da lazy goat
i think 64m, 34% and closing in on 70k culvert 
I just found out you can allure when you get stunned 😂
Yeah I’m a nub
@strange ivy pro shadower. Guide us all 
@dusk ledge IS THE TRUE GOAT, IM AN IMPOSTER

V Matrix shadower
yeah tell em 
First time clear
^
why cant ppl read before they ask 
im sorry
does shadower have iframe?
yes
like how many skills and how many seconds?
dark sight, 15s 2min cd
trickblade 1.x seconds every 15s
shadow assault everyone of the 4 bursts is an iframe, 1min cd
into darkness kinda iframe but its just Blink on Roids with no cd
nice . ty!
Broken
anyone has a pic of the skill description for trickblade and shadow assault?
@forest remnant surely has it
trick blade is a skill that tps you to the rear assets part of a boss/mob and gives iframe for like half a second
shadow assault is a skill you just push 4 times and you turn into an arrow and attack mob or boss
so the main iframe would be dark sight?
yes
alrighties. thank you!
Shadower, but DB is nexons favorite child since release
Which 1 is stronger atm lol?
Hey fam, I saw your bossing presets but I was wondering could you please send a SS of your auto battle presets as well?
hi i just reached level 200 as shadower. is there any guides on nodes and v-matrix for shadower? cant see from pin
@strange ivy 
it is on the pin here
do you mean the v3 v4 v1/2 thingy?
yess
hahaha but what's those. sorry, im new to this
v1 v2 v3 v4 is the main skill for lvl 200
if u look at v-skill youll notice it arranges the same like the pinned pic for v matrix
enhance v3 first
What’s your thoughts on rope lift?
@fair jetty ah so if i understand u correctly, i'd just follow the sequence here? from first slot to the last
v3 v4 v2 v1
3rd first
then fourth and so on
got it, so if i don't have the right combination, i dont slot in?
u slot in but enhance at that sequence
tyty 🙂
Hi everyone im newbie here can anyone guide me for vmatrix bossing and farming?
There really only one big burst for shad no?
enhance Red, yellow, green, blue? In that order? Did i understand correctly?
hi people, may i know what r they hyper skills for shadower
Anyone here able to share their skill wheel?
But first you enhance the boost nodes... correct?
@strange ivy why slacking no responses
@forest remnant is your go-to for advice
He da goat
yes max trios (boost nodes) first
damn arvin ure here too
when you open nodes, there are the ones you don't need
save them and level them too, once it hits lvl25, you extract them, without those node shards you obtain from extracting, you craft those v skils you need to level them
Hey guys! New shadower here– I’m working on nodes and just wondering if I’m good to go with my perfect trios. These are correct, yeah?
Thanks. I believe I got them correct but just for clarification: the order of the skills doesn’t matter, right?
For example in this pic (believe this is Itachi’s) I have the 3 skills but they are in different order than what’s shown here. Does that matter?
Must be different
Yeah don’t matter
ABC BCA as long as three of them are different its all good
Okay thanks broski
Never heard of this guy
If in higher lvls we aren’t even bothering to use meso explosion, is it even worth getting it in the trio anymore?
its proccing automatically, thats why you dont have to use it in skillwheel
lol
10-4
Hi anyone has the updated hyper passives for Shadower? I didn't see it pinned.
im not sure. but i think for bossing is all 3 assassinate, meso explosion - reinforce and crit dmg.
ab is all 3 cruel stab and same for meso explosion
anyone can confirm?
Its inside the pinned section
Full assassinate, Fd cd for meso explosion
Thanks sorry I didn't see it. Thought it would be 5 digits hahah.
Hi guys. For hyper stats for ab, after i max exp and pex. what do i go for?
I have 2 pages. planning to use one for ab. the other for bossing.
item buff duration
Thanks Itachi!
🐐
Do we have any optimal skill sequences for shadower when bossing?
E.g. I usually start to buff, set out dark flare + smokescreen when 2 seconds till boss arrive then v4 > assassinate (2-3 times) > v1 > dark sight + v3 > assassinate more (keeping v1 and 2 to use as needed (dodge etc)
Then just assassinate until v4 and v3 off cooldown again. Any other tips to better optimise this will be greatly appreciated 🙏🏻
^ my assassinate also has preset with viel + venon + shadow raid
@strange ivy
@forest remnant
https://www.youtube.com/@Dev1lmsm
i can recommend this guy, pretty decent shadower
What update
im not too sure too. but is this the correct vmatrix?
Idk i just started shadower @strange ivy would know best
ive been taught everything by sensei @dusk ledge i personally have no clue how to play shad

Yes, still the same. Always follow @strange ivy @forest remnant also make sure you watch Devil’s videos to optimize shad skills

Like and subscribe
yea

Thanks for this but quite hard to tell optimal skill sequence from just this alone 😅
I do watch afew of his vids already
Everybody has a different playstyle 
You gotta figure out for yourself lol
Yah just thought there might be some tips from more experienced shadower players here
just gotta play the game and see what fits best. as you progress every boss requires different timings for burst rotations
^ 🐐 advice
Push a variety of buttons during ds4 😂
Do shadowers use rope lift for farming?
yes, unless the class comes with a rope lift, use rope lift
even in that scenario rope lift might be worth it for the stats lol
F tier
F- Tier
Just go db
Are they really that bad?
Yea we are trash, just look at jawn‘s YouTube
It’s critical 
Don’t know who jawns is hehe, but all right… good thing I started a shadower as a new main 😂
the 🐐
Nice! I’ll dig in, cause I do really enjoy shadower
nah they're just trolling
S tier, if not A tier bosser
if funded 
how good is sdw for dolphins
I'd say pretty good
I'd consider myself a dolphin
I don't have any issues capping, feel pretty tanky, have 3 skills with iframes
Based on Devil’s videos, shads are one of the top dps lol. Just watch his videos
Our iframes are gonna be nerfed a bit in the future, but our burst will be buffed
hey any advise on emblem ratio?
Everything works
I'm 4:4 with some emblems still underdeveloped and I'm pretty close to the CD softcap (450% CD) so 4:4 seems to be working pretty well for me
capping CD and still have good amount of BA
Does shadower need pet as a farming mule?
sorry. but what does 4:4 means?
4cd 4ba
they saw your videos 
They watching Echo videos 
how do i get emblem on accessories?
Every OG maplestory person from 2004-2008 or so know that shadower (or I should say chief bandit
) was the sexiest coolest mofo that's why every1 want to play it now
😎
Hit max sf
then they should be going pally
Such a boring class 🤣
Thanks Itachi!
Thanks Itachi!!
Thanks Itachi!
Thanks Itachi!
Thanks Itachi!
Thanks Itachi!
hi guys if you only has one pet which buff you will put for shadower?
Does anyone know where i can get read/watch shadower burst and skill guide. Kinda overwhelmed with number of 5th job skills and its synergy. In addition do people actually put coin flip buff on pet..it consumes a lot of mana since it just spams it
No specific rotation. Just what works best for you. Just burst during ds4, and yes. Pet buff.
What does ds4 mean?
defense smash 4, it's a special node
you have to craft it in vmatrix, expires in 1 week so you gotta keep crafting
4th job what skills to pump ?
Whatever feels right 
V3 then v4 r ur highest dps skills
U can check the pins tho
Is phase dash and cruel slash useful?
phase dash for mobility during bossing and cruel slash is ur main mobbing skill
does shadower have any cc skill?\
What to get for vmax and nodes ?
does shadower have any stun skills?
What hypers should I pick?
no, just the erda's after 200 in your v-matrix but no need to
yea
no need to? why so?
what does that mean xD
it means that he sees his face everywhere he goes
Thanks man is there an order of which one first also is there a ab wheel and boss wheel sorry just came back playing after 7 years
What is v3 v4 sorry i am confused as well
Go to Craft in your matrix. The first four skills are V1 V2 V3 V4 respectively
Heard dual blade is more OP than shadower should go db
Ty any clue about ab wheel/boss wheel
Always ping @strange ivy and don’t read the pinned messages
Pin doesnt have ab/boss wheel only v skill lvl ups
@strange ivy
Thanks Ben
thats why you always ping @strange ivy shouldnt have read the pin, now you know
thanks you ben for the tip
@strange ivy hey man do you think you can share some ab and boss skill wheel for a noob here thanks haha

Will, bossing, presets
You should preset darkness with Blink. Jawn does it, and I learned from the best. You should always have Blink in your bossing wheel.
You can remove preset 2 if you just move the Will skill to preset 1
what would i need blink for, when i have into darkness 
when you are not into darkness
Damien, vhilla
im replacing dash with blink for when having to fly 
Interesting
u cant "interesting" our goat
TK is looking at it from an aggro perspective, but thats not the case for me in endgame lol
my endgame is having every shadower ping you here🔥
Fair lmao. But you're right, I should use phase shift instead of blink/darkness in certain boss fights
I would get rid of preset 3 tho, I know you're maximizing your dmg, but it's best to just leave it on your pet buffs. Its not worth the mini clicks just to activate buffs imo
BRO I JUST DIED HAHAHAHAHGAHAHAHAHAGA
@forest remnant is it better to use phase shift or blink for vhilla
for vhilla i think blink
the poop on the grounds and when vhilla poops to the side you gotta fly up
and stuns you and does a lot of damage
i dnt think you can phase dash thru that
gotta blink up or blink to her after she lets her poop out
only boss i can see phase dash being helpful is maybe damien when you gotta run away from blue balls
but why not just double jump its faster and goes further
but also thinking from a non experiened agro holder
True, we got double jump 
Idk, I saw a hero holding some aggro and dashing left and right with precise timing to avoid all of Vhilla’s skills. Thought shad can do the same with phase shift
If the next rebalance nerfs iframes like sancro and DS, we're gonna have to time all our mobility skills
Trickkblade timing will be more crucial for end game bosses
If they do that
Already using trickblade a lot for threads
At this point trickblade cant even count towards 2-3min line count
Thanks man for ab is it just any goes ?
@strange ivy
@forest remnant
Hi, i’d like to know what’s the best hyper skills to focus on. Maybe in sequence from most to least important?
We don’t know.
#1059991588643811388 message
what soul stats should we shadowers be aiming for?
for shadower bossing legion, do i fill out CD/PD or CD/BA?
what every other class wants, MDC
if low budget rn and not doing any serious bossing, toss a phy atk soul on ur wep and exp soul on the rest of ur gear
PD>BA>CD
I believe
BA and CD might be swapped but PD is definitely #1 priority
thx champ!
so sec wep, shoulders,belt,cape,signet all should be mdc?
then how about weapon?
also mdc? or fd?
He’s new, daf he wants with mdc soul for now?
Go for exp 1st, ba afterwards once you go away from exp build and at the end go mdc
that's why I said this
o.o
Can anyone send here the vmatrix trios?
@strange ivy
@forest remnant
@forest remnant @strange ivy
@dusk ledge
I just stole some noobs screenshot
can i swap out the last resort to decent skills like combat order for better uptime? last resort has cooldown and also higher cost like lower defense and evasion
when in doubt, ping @strange ivy
and when getting ignored by him, just ping the 🐐 @forest remnant
i'm in doubt @strange ivy
and i'm also being ignored 🥲 @forest remnant
yes, you can swap it
gotcha!
just wondering. the skills nodes on the 2nd row. why lvl 25 , 25 , 10?
bc you need your skills at lv.60 for the maximum boost of 15% PD/MD and 15% IED so either 3 trios or 2 trios with 2 maxed matrix slots lv.5
i see. okay thank you!
is it possible to check the pd/md and 15% ied?
i only see a V on the skills. but not the stats
just on the v-matrix as its a "bonus" from the vmatrix
Can't figure what Trio I'm missing for bossing
@strange ivy please help
farming
Sudden Raid/Cruel Stab/Flare
bossing is done, bc you are using matrix points to make the skills lv.60
you'll have enough slots later-on to use the matrix points on your vskills instead and can swap to 3 trios
thank you goat
@strange ivy since you're here, what decent skills do I lvl first? does it matter?
since my skills/boosts are max
makes sense ty, wasn't sure if there was a mandatory one to lvl first
just passive PA% anyways
Thank you!
So the above, I only put for farming. The ones I have in the imageis fine for bossing, correct?
thank you goat
you can swap out the last matrix slot with something like Hyper Body if you need more HP
@strange ivy
you fakka know, its in the channel 
Any guide on passive hyper skills please?
Any shadower guide on passive hyper skills please? ( Capture ) I'm visual person
@strange ivy
Seems like every other day… they need to go play Pally or something 
Honestly i wouldnt miss a chance to ping @strange ivy ask more
For abso shoulders, do you guys go crit attack or phy dmg increase?
Boost node to get is Meso explosion, assassinate and shadow veil?
PDI
dont read the pin and ping @strange ivy
https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/juCBK4kz63h7H0-7Bef55Q
has anyone read this kmsm patch notes for job rebalancing?
english translated dark sight is modified from 10s to 5 stacks. does that mean immune to 5 incoming attacks?
oh i didnt notice that in the notes
for more tips or advice just ping or dm @torpid saffron and @forest remnant
It will be 10 secs with advanced dark sight. Right now its 15 secs
i see, thx for clarifications
Curious, do you guys have any purpose for venom burst at all?
Put it in preset together with assassinate. Great additional dmg

We just gotta start pinning everything @strange ivy posts
id say we start pinning yours & devils 
I'm a peasant compared to Devil. Look at that double dmg. Lmao
What’s the point. They still won’t look at pins first.
thats the point, they will ping @strange ivy
@strange ivy be like “don’t forget to hit that like button and turn on the bell notifications so that you know when I make a new post” 😂
peasant smacking @torpid saffron from left to right 
benwong is an ant
Lmaooo he died really early that run
hi can someone share the updated v matrix set up?
It’s like they come in here and don’t attempt to do any reading, just immediately post asking…
Just stop answering
@strange ivy this is the nice guy. Ping him for every shad question 
Everyone has been extremely helpful but at the same time if someone is starting shadower from scratch half of the stuff u probably wouldnt follow or be able to use
Example at ur matrix early game should definitely get crit 15 sec on 50 hit node so that u can do solo bosses early like hmag and cra
If u are like deep 235+ and above u should alr know what u are doing and whatever you are doing is just min maxing at that point
When u just get into v max skills u only have 5-7 slots so they( the newer guys like me 2 weeks back) probably want to know what to prioritise instead of just staring down at a completed vmax page
I do get what you mean, it's just that a lot of these questions have already been answered multiple times so people just get annoyed having to repeat the same things over and over while it's usually just a quick search in the pinned messages (updated v matrix, order to upgrade v skills, etc. are all pinned).
All other questions that aren't answered most are willing to help out for sure, some of us just don't want to spoonfeed others anymore so they stop replying at all and these class specific chats will slowly die out because of that 
@strange ivy just make a guide from early to mid to late game and have it pinned so that we can just tell ppl to check the pins no matter what stage of the game they are at. Or @torpid saffron will keep tagging you.
Wouldn't solve anything since people don't read the pinned messages 😂 you'd still be telling people check the pins
I was planning to tell patrick to just repost his guide everyday at 8am
then specify your questions instead of asking
„What’s vmatrix“

Agreed. This will definitely help alot in both ab and bossing.
Tbh i actually read but still doesnt solve the early mid game questions
I mean not for me at this point but i did ask exactly what was the wheel 2 weeks back for ab/bossing i kept gotten told to check the pin
These are the 4 pins
Which doesnt show anything
And v3 over v4 is definitely easier for early game bossing
Tbh can just skip 1/2 and put rope and crit special node for pre 220
Cause 1/2 is technically useless unless u gonna go for early hmag
But dont get me wrong i still appreciate having a channel and someone replying and helping out as it goes
But you gonna presume most new people coming into this chnl as kindergarteners like me
Basically having 0 knowledge of the game or the class and getting overwhelmed. I understand not spoonfeeding someone but this is just throwing algebra at kindergarteners and telling them it will be useful when time comes.
Not doubt that being one of the top shadowers u definitely have insights that we have 0 access or knowledge to but do also understand if not desperate or lost most of us would rather be in the game then on discord or reddit asking questions.
Yeah @strange ivy top shadower needs to show love
wrong address for a German

I would agree with @turbid veldt as a newcomer. I do have more knowledge due to playing GMS but there were some nuances that this game has that threw me off and me having zero shad knowledge on gms adds to it
Nevertheless it still helps we got something at least heh
Guide for Early, Mid, End Game, assuming everyone has hit level 200, THIS IS NOT A GUIDE FOR GEARS.
Also, this is my opinion. If you read or see something different and believe that is correct, then go for it. This is also from a bossing perspective not ABing. Also want to mention that i only run Two Trinodes for bossing which is (Meso Explosion, Shadow Veil, and Assassinate)
For reference
V1 = Shadow Assault (good mobility skill for bosses like gloom, and good lines)
V2 = Trick Blade (will save you a lot with the mini iframe it provides and very good lines)
V3 = Sonic Blow (your highest damage output skill at the time of writing this)
V4 = Slash Shadow Formation (2nd highest damage output skill at the time of writing this)
Early Game - After you hit 200, with the Vmatrix slots. If you do not open the other 4 slots and utilizing the 5 slots that are given, id say the V3 -> V4 -> Tri Node 1 (Shadow Veil, Assassinate, Increased Meso Explosion), Tri node 2 (Shadow Veil, Assassinate, Increased Meso Explosion), and lastly Hyper Body. Now if you open the extra 4 slots with your hard earned mesos than repeat what i posted earlier and with the addition to V2, V3, Last Resort, Shadow Walker. With bosses that you need to fly up (damien) and with DS4. Id replace Last Resort and Shadow Walker if you need the slots for Blink and DS4. These sets of skills and buffs will help you do a lot more damage and should carry you thru most solo content / multi content (gears willing)
Mid Game - Assuming you have hit a couple more levels and have unlocked more slots. Id prioritize Maple Word Goddess Blessings -> Decent Combat Order -> Decent Speed Infusion -> Decent Sharp Eyes/ Decent Advance Blessings in this order for the remainder of Decent Buff Skills. For bossing to replace blink and DS4, Personally id go with replacing Sharp Eyes + Decent Advance Blessings. Reason why i say this is because most of the buffs it gives can be replaced by buffs from Tangs/Buff pots.
End Game/Late End game - Assuming you have all slots open at this point. Do everything mentioned above + Will Skill + Venom Burst. I personally have slots left over so Blink + DS4 only replaces skills i use for my AB such as holy symbol and rope lift and should know your skill rotation.
Below i have attached my Presets + skill wheel + V matrix when i am bossing.
Hope this helps out. For further questions please DM or ping @Itachi and @TKSG
Will make an AB post some other time
Bossing V Matrix
Skill Wheel + Presets
@proven onyx please delete all my pins and pin the almighty 🐐 guide
tyvm
This is what we all have been waiting for 
Are you sure you want yours unpinned? 
i love your preset 1 
And this ladies and gentlemen is great help definitely pin worthy
for the early game why hyper body
gotta grow your body so it can handle it when you get stronger
just to ask. you dont use shadow walker or last resort?
He does, they are in his v matrix setup
They're prob on his auto buff pet slots
ahhh. i see
what would your burst rotation be?
Assa + V2, V4 bc stationary, V3, (V1 optional whenever)
Does anyone have a gloom guide for shadower?
Or mainly im wondering how i can get the eye to open sooner, is it a dps thing or something i’ve missed maybe
You gotta do x amount of dmg to break his „shield“ for the eye to open
I have it on auto on pets
Cause extra hp is better than not having extra hp.
How much attack (? The number below your character when you open the bag) does Shadower need for him to one shot the chaos expedition bosses? (Im lvl 220, but only 145,000 attack)
I'm 1.8m as DB but still can't one hit chaos empress
can kill her in 3 seconds so one hitting prob 4-5m+, also depends on MDC and other stats tbh
Also whenever we talk about that number we refer it as CP (combat power)
i now have emblem weapon with max level, what should i proceed on next?
With max lvl you mean lvl 40 right?
If so then refine to empress > necro
no just lv 30, isit need buy same weapon as what they say fooder?
Yeah same base weapon to exalt
So for you it's exalt to lvl 40 > refine > mastercraft to necro
okay thanksss
Sorry. Can i get some insights to ark? I’m trying to attempt solo ark for multi, is there a way to dodge the aoe without trickblade? Because he always gets me when its on cooldown.
Like you can completely dodge it the first time, but when he spams it back to back its an inevitable death. Is there something i’m missing about dodging?
Don’t let the orbs go into the middle would be a solid 1st start to not getting spammed with screencracks
Thanks alot.
isit rest exp party no longer available?
removed
guys anyone know whats the minimal eq shadower needs to survive sf158 w/o buff pets ?
do you use rope lift in vmatrix when ab-ing?
does pensalir set really worth to build?
not really anymore
I'd still build an exp weapon
but will all of the recent exp reductions whole exp set is not needed
Doubtful. Most shadowers that comment in here are much further along in the game than sf maps
yes for now i suspect its simply my max hp too low
i can sf 144 w/o buff pets
so just wondering sf158 whats min eq required
Might be an issue of your skill-wheel
is there guide to get maximum free auto battle? or cheapest way to get auto battle?
@spiral helm your time to shine
you should probably go to #msm-game-help or #msm-general for non class specific issues
About this statement, shadower also got another iframe? Because reading the patch notes I only saw NL e NW gaining new skills. I also got curious about something, before the picture of the skills changes it says on english translation that they won't change Dark Sight and they even used different wording on the picture, any idea why so? At first I thought Dark Sight would stay the same to shadowers but could be only a translation issue.
you are right i only read till nw and nl and assume shad will have it too. 
I think shad has another skill boosting ds tho?
I believe not
Finding it strange
Besides the iframe
Maybe because trickblade?
Yeah.. I know..
Well, unless someone can check on kmsm we will need to wait
@torpid saffron there is a possibility that they improved Vskills because this nerf on iframes
Dual Blades also got the same
But NW and NL also got improved skills
in general they buff everyone vskill but the lines seem pretty op
Indeed. Well, ty for your time, im curious but not much to do so im leaving, have a great day

If that’s what you were referring to
I thought he was talking about a second skill that would buff shadower's Dark Sight, but thinking about it, actually I don't know if Advanced Dark Sight is a shadower exclusive skill.
it is🍆 
So we would have NL and NW with 15s iframes total; Shadower with 10s Dark Sight, trickblade iframes, DB with 5s Dark Sight, Final Cut and Chains of Hell iframe; Phantom with 5s Dark Sight and Sacro of 10s?
Even more weird than before

maybe phantom can steal the new one from nl too since it is a 4th job
I think those double toothpick biches good it as well
ngl took my a split sec to understand that lmaoooo
i am just speaking out of my butt. I am an archer @broken atlas trust the pro only like @strange ivy

PING HIM WHEN IN DOUBT
When in doubt, ping the 🐐 @dusk ledge @forest remnant
In what cases are into darkness usable? I've been sleeping on it
using it in Will instead of Blink
ah, well looks like I won't be needing it for alot longer lul
What is next to progress on my equipment? i am kind of stuck
start building a necro weapon project on the side
can rank up a unique emblem weapon if on a budget, but would be untradeable
or buy a tradeable mythic dagger emblem and necro that with CDD alts
but regardless, your next gear steps will be replacing your current gear for emblem gear
Chaos root abyss top/bottom for more Star Force, and HP.
Are ya'll getting the same mp issues as me in bossing? I think flip of the coin is eating all my mana during bossing and it uses up my potion cooldown
You can Use it manually
Hi all, new-ish to the game but in regards to perfect trios, are we choosing to only run 1 pair of 60s or is there room to run 2 pair of 60s for the sake of not having to swap them constantly when bossing/mobbing? I like to set it and forget it, which is why I ask.
As long as u got enough slots
We made it!
Keep going
What is the other 2 boost nodes i should get together with cruel stab for farming?
The answer might be here:
Those seem to only be for bossing
dark flare & hyper
if you got hyper within you bossing trios, sudden raid
well depending on your overall build you might wanna go for high fd/pa combo or even high double fd but that depends on your capping etc
What jewel set to use for bossing?
Physical dmg
Drop rate
not ba?
Whatever you like. 
BA
PD 
Does anyone have the rebalance patch notes yet? Or an idea of it via other languages
From what I’ve seen, we are getting more lines. But I guess we will find out today/tomorrow when they release patch notes
why did all thief get additional iframe except shadower....
Because we already have so many iframes lol
How is everyone feeling with the rebalance for shadowers
could be better, could be worse
The prophet has spoken
just glad we got more lines
darksight nerf with the extra iframe like NL would of been nice but trick blade covers us
would of been nice to get additional lines to sonic blow but it was already pretty cracked
Yeah I feel we still have great utility even with the 5s nerf
Imagine buffing ME 
240% 
Now I have to actually play 😭
The no knock back while bursting is great imo but they shoulda gave us even more lines hehehe
i think its the fact that our bursts are every 54 seconds
giving us more lines = broken
Do I use meso explosion over bloody now?
this was supposed to be the case since release, as it was stated in skill description
Right??? Here I M getting tossed around in will and vhilla while bursting 
yeah...only time that sh!t works if your shadow partner is nice enough to catch the hit 
otherwise you'll find yourself flying across the map
what are your mdc/ied? 
THE GOAT speaking senses

There was a delay?
ayo stop ghosting my question 
I’m smol pp
show me how
dat pp is
Show you when I stop driving
We are in patch
Fyi
Just keep driving
i see you have a vhilla role, means your OP. Thank you Goat for representing Shadowers 
Lmao I forgot about patch
Is there a specific mdc and ied to solo harchon for shadowers? I saw some others say shadowers can do it with 55m mdc?
jawn is gonna upload a guide soon to his youtube, thank you 🐐 for all the hard work 
I dont have a youtuve
https://www.youtube.com/@Dev1lmsm
best 🐐 content
whos that
just found that channel, mechanics seem to be pretty meh but decent dmg
He has 3 absoblade lmfao
who is this devil guy, crazy guy
Lmao he's very extra. He got spare money. I think he spend over 100k over the last year
maybe closer to 200k now
must be a small globe 

technically 3
bro clearing vhilla btw 
What’s the third?
It all depends how you wanna define „iframe“
You got DS, trickblade which is basically teleport + 1.x iframe afterwards, each v1 burst is 1 iframe, into darkness is blink on roids
Ahhh v1
hard to time it for certain bosses but technically v1 is a short iframe
Do you know who’s the strongest in Scania? 
Actually curious who is
In inosys its @dusk ledge

I’m weak sauce at 58mdc
I know Nigiri is like rank 4 or 5
In terms of damage/stats
Oh yah. I couldn’t say. There’s only like 1 shadower with any arcane gear(overall) from what I have noticed.
I’ve seen your videos 
Mine are temu
What are the 15 link skill good for bossing?
Whatever feels good
Do you which stats is better? is it FD>BA>PD>PA
fd pd ba pa
pre- & post-update, unbuffed fog 
Itachi is broken, nerf itachi
ty goat for testing
np goat
Looks like I need more FD
🐳
I’m trying to find guides for shadower hyper. Can anyone point me to the right direction. I can’t find it here
@strange ivy
@strange ivy
@strange ivy still waiting
I’m looking for 2 min line count along with battle analysis results. Please let me know your best number!
@forest remnant @strange ivy
@strange ivy
You must not have seen Echo’s spread sheet yet 😂
Just saw it. But it’s not adjusted for clone
Are you saying that the lines should be adjusted for just non clone lines? Or we gotta add more lines for clones
@dusk ledge @forest remnant
Yep
So for example, 1 line + 70% clone = 0.85 of real line
A skill that’s cloned that does 1000 line total, is only doing 0.85 or 850 of real line.
You put it that way, every thief class has to change
Yes
Their numbers
And some classes , such as merc and nw, has a 80s clone with 3 clone 30 50 70%
Have fun calculating and let us know
So theoretically if u calculate their skill over 2 min

wat is clone huh
It’s 40s of (1+0.7+0.5+0.3) and 40s of (1+0.7+0.5+0.3) and 40s of 1 line [(1+1+1+1)/4] all divided by 12 = 0.75
But nw and merc burst also fit in with clone, so it’s just (1+0.7+0.5+0.3)/4=0.625 specifically for the burst
Way you math it at 0.85 looks like shadowers have the lowest line count in 3 min
#Buffshadower
It’s not a flat 0.85.
I agree
Only 0.85 applied to skill that’s cloned
Shadowers are bad we need buffs
lol. Shad still top tier I’m sure
No i agree 0.85% we are terrible
#buffshadplox
idk what is clone but buff is good LOL
We really need help
#buffshadowerplease
No we got bad buff
We only got 0.85% buff
Meanwhile other class getting 100% buffs
Make it 1.69%
#helpus
yes #buffshadower because i need to kill that damn clown
We not greedy 1.69 totally fine
0.85%class

#nexonpleasemakeit1soicansleeptonight
But if anyone wanna share their battle analysis., wirh total count line, I can do the adjustment
No need to embarrass us like that
Yeah dont gotta show us our true selves
make your own shadower

we living in the shadows
Since you said 0.85% please ask for shadower clones to hit 100%
no more 70% clone cap
maybe we can be mid tier with no clone cap
Midtrash, like the good old days
Im done being bottom tier 
Literally a shadow class, just non existent cause shadowers are so bad
is clone not just part of the class buff
No we are just bad class everyone reroll
Where can I find the spreadsheet
This is just what was posted in my guilds discord
We need more buff
Agreed
dont trust this clown when he forgot a NW CLONE???
considering how many slots we have in VM now, is it worth boosting any other skills?
besides the already established bossing/farming trios
Not really. The only other skill that’s in my skill wheel that I could boost would be our dash skill. This is what my v-matrix looks like, and I still have an entire 3rd page of slots available.
thank you my king
yeah idk what to toss in my VM and it's bugging me having empty slots lol
I could craft Erda skills, but that’s still not going to fill anything lol 
what is the one next to ropelift
Will skill.
ohhh how does one get that
Get to lv235, and buy the node from TS. It’s usually cheap. It’s the red node stone
dps skill
what you at rn?
219 LOl
219->235 in like 2 months with solid PEXP parties
probably less than that
hmm maybe ill take slower idk im not rly rushing exp type player
but six * job soon 
hopefully with all the events i can go close to 235 /250
Yeah use shards for decent skills, maxing all decent skills adds 70% p atk
If you cap it's whatever, but helps with avg & min dmg and also capping at higher MDC
Goated class, better than db in kerning tower, if it gets teleport home skill i would play it
why are u replying to messages 2 years old
Because its rare chance for discord to show me message from that period as i wun scroll up
why are you everywhere bb
same I think, all give PA %
Because he has like 30 accounts 
Doesn’t matter
Enhancing decent skills only boosts the passive, which is the same for all decent skills
Will skill kek
Hi, what skills are we prioritizing on pets? With the vmatrix rework I’ve got space for more decent skills so just wondering what we’re all using with pets. Thanks.
for any advice, always tag @forest remnant he's the 🐐
put all decent skills. You still have the empty slot.
Can i ask a curious question?
What’s the benefit as a whole to move to chaos or abso one piece armors if root abyss armors give a total of 40 star force instead? 😅
MDC
Lv.50 RA top/bottom combined gives 1.4mm MDC
Chaos 50 armor gives 2.8mm MDC, and Abso 50 gives 6.3mm iirc
put shadow veil in there and ur good
More mdc, more HP, better base stats, better set bonuses, better flames, better pots (potentially)
When i get Decent skills aka decent hyper body decent sharp eyes etc...
should I just craf all of them lvl 1 or I should focus 1by1 and lvl them?
I'm not sure about the duration at lvl 1 so..
I saw we have the order to focus the skills in pins🙏 just figuring if I should get all or 1by1 👀
Durations all the same, but level your own v skills and perfect trios first
Then you can save the exp nodes for will skill and then your decent skills,
Decent skills give you a passive buff
When leveled
Yes I'll show u what I have already sec
do u guys have pet buffs on when farming
Like all the decent skill?
no no shads passive buffs
Oh yeah have it on all the time
cause isnt like flip of the coin mp drain
You should be getting excess no pots
But the end of hot time I have like 5k hp and 5k mo pots
At this point
Max your v1 and v2
Should I try and get all the Decent skills? When I extract just craft them or?
Ye ofc but I just do that slowly opening stacks of nodes once in awhile or using the green nodes
Going for the long run here, cuz obviously I'll get those sooner or later
Almost 229
I would just level your trickblade and shadow assaulter to max using whatever you can now
Yep I know
Then save the green ones for will skill
Ye that would obviously help with current dmg but as I said asking for the long run
you can open until v1 v2 maxed, use green nodes to max everything else and then green nodes on decent skills
Ah ye there's also the willskill ayyy
long run is just supplementing decent skills with future green nodes
So u recommend I finish the other skills aswell before going for decent skills? Aka goddess blessing and all the other job skills first?
Yeap
yes decent skill lvl 1 buff stats remain the same compared to lvl 30
only passive patk 3.4% > 15%
Then I should get lvl 1 decent skills just to have it no?
if you have space ofc
Yeah but leveling your vskills is priority since it’ll give you huge dmg boost

Phase shift might come in handy for vhilla
