Discussion/How To: Dual Blade vs Shadower

Both. If you super fund a shad, it will be limited by cap while a DB will continue to be able to raise damage.



Well with the 50m cap, only classes with very high % skills can hit cap.

Shadowers have one of the highest % 1v1 skills in the game. The downside is that it's marginally slower than most other 1v1 skills and has 8(?) hits, 4 being 70% damage.
The pure % makes up for this until cap is reached. At varying times after that (depending on how hard the other 1v1 skill hits), other classes that are below in theoretical damage pass up shadowers.

DBs are probably impossible to hit cap with PB (asura can cap) in KMS even with max possible funding. And KMS has flames, better EEs, etc. So cap isn't the deciding factor on everything, but you get the point.

Again, thanks for the great responses. I'm kind of a damage whore and damage is kind of a big deal to me. I mean this in that I want the highest damaging class for the specific role I want to play (in this case daggers).

So the real calculation would be PB vs Assassinate/Shad combos? Or do DBs use something other than PB as their main attack?

And one last thing, what did you mean by "DB will continue to be able to raise damage"?
