I don't get why shadower's complain so much about single target damage. Assassinate is the BEST single target attack shadower's have, and its a damn strong attack too. Andy was saying in another thread how he bossed a lot, but was usually out damaged. Well his assassinate is lvl 20.
Take a look at w0rmified (yes this is an extreme case). He can do over 40k PER HIT with UNCHARGED assassinate. Give the guy an apple???? He'll almost be spamming max damage per hit.
I always see shadowers spamming SB and complaining that NL's, heros, and BMs out damage them. Well no pumpernickel sherlock, you're using your 2nd job skill against their 4th job skill.
My friend Gunner302 can apple kill a pap in around 10-15 minutes. He's lvl 146. I did a timed run yesterday and killed pap in 26 minutes only using warrior elixers. I did a timed run this morning with one apple and warrior elixer the rest, and went down to 19 minutes. My assassinate is only lvl 4, my boomerang step is lvl 25, and im only lvl 133. I know that once I max it, I should bring down my pap time to 15 mins or less without using an apple at all.
DeiDein, What lvl is ur assassinate? The best way to compare a shadower to other classes, is to have timed boss fights. Please do us a favor (or any shadower with lvl 20+ assassinate), find a griffey/manon in 2 channels both untouched. Then have you and a friend (NL, BM, Hero), at around the same lvl, both try to kill him at the same time, and see who kills it first. Tell us how it goes.
Protip: You can put darksite then assassinate on a macro button, hold it down, and it will cancel the last hit of assassinate for you with darksite. You can easily keep yourself stationary while spamming assassinate by doing this (boss fighting). Using the macro allows for the fastest transfer of darksite -> assassinate. It's almost instant.
