Discussion/How To: Dual Blade vs Shadower

And this is different from equalizing stats on the upper funding range how?

'Equalising' stats is easier said than done. As you move into higher funding brackets, the variation only gets bigger. It's much easier to measure relative strengths of classes without funding bias. If you can find an exact 1:1 copy of a DB and Shadower with all other factors considered, then you can be my guest.

Ontopic: Forget about Shadowers. They are a gimmicky class and extremely annoying to play with all the limitations and artificial conditions required to reproduce the paper numbers. A DB can stay competitive in all bossing scenarios.
