STR gets DKJ; good luck finding a Maple Shield that'll put you on par with a STR Shadower without pissing away your entire wallet.
I never understood why LUK Shadowers think they sit on the top tier of Shadower builds. The only LUK Shadowers that top out STR ones are the ones with hacked Dragon's Tails, 50 LUK Saunas, and 25 ATK Maple Shields. With Item Maker out, their limited choices of equipment are already on the verge of becoming obselete, and when the eventual release of additional HTP eggs makes its way to GMS, which type of Shadower is going to be taking advantage of 156 stats?
Why would you want to waste so much money to hold an ugly shield and a level 80 dagger? In the end, you'll still suck.
actually, the debate was, at first, how much funding you needed to be a *decent* shadower, then, low base stats>atk vs atk>low base stats. And scrolling a top with str for lower base str, which would lower the resale value, and scrolling a top for luk, which has a higher resale value.
My opinion was, a good balance of both, maybe stack on more atk if possible, and scroll whichever you need for whatever build you want and don't let resale value affect your decision.
