Do explain more, blood building sounds like a useful section for this guide.
Quote:I also want to confront your shadower build's. They are 'decent' but there are really 3 main builds that most follow for fastest exp rate:
120-121: 2 boom step, venom, smoke bomb, assassinate, and fake.
I say this because its best to get a variety of skills early so you can at least abuse venom even if a second, fake is self explanatory, smokescreen is useful period, and assassinate is good "start" attacker.
After this you branch out to either:
Max bs as soon as possible
or
Venom/fake/bs to level 10 because the passive skills help make BS more efficent and stronger
Lastly is an experimental build some shadowers I know have been trying where they do, 10 bs, 3 venom 5 fake and as much as taunt as possible. The problem however is you're VERY reliant on venom to make up the difference of your level 10 bs vs a level 20 bs.
Pretty much most shadowers go venom/fake instead of assassinate for more efficient training, while those who go 20 assassinate love to boss and want that quick damage. However in my personal opinion its better to go the training route because then you can get both quicker than going the assasinate build which would be a grueling training exp.
Another factor is training, will they stay at himes or go newt/skele early? That's really dependent on how many monsters your bs hits, honestly bot suffices at himes because it hits 6, while newties there are meh 4 per plat, it be best to get boom step to at least 3 target hitter before even attempting to leafre.
For training I really encourage you putting twin peaks for a bombing location as soon as you have meso guard (which I believe you should max before assaulter considering assaulter uses are dwindled to nearly nothing, 1 should suffice) because in two weeks on 2x you could get from 90-120 from a source of mine. It costs as much as leeching but much more worth it in my opinion.
Hope I helped.
Sorry this is just a build guide, lol anyway take those factors for yourself then for your future shadowerhood
I'll look at this more thoroughly when I'm not on vacation.
