Dex question for dits

That's simply not true. A decent Shadower costs just as much as any other class. It's only expensive if you're determined to statwhore as much as possible - though this is quite easy to do with a class with 2 secondary stats.

You don't have to add a lot of STR to be a STR Shadower. You can easily get up to 50 STR just from base + medal + ZHelm + MoN + Belt + Top.

v Add STR at level 80, which is when you can begin using Khanjars. You probably won't need to add a lot of STR. It's pretty easy to get yourself a ZHelm and a few other + all stat items.

You do not get the mon as a str shadower, you do not scroll a top for str. Waste of AP and you want as much attack as possible considering shadowers damage is mediocre as is. A 10att shield can range up past 100mil, let alone glove which is like 50. You don't need to fund a bishop, their damage comes from AP, a hero, same deal, even if you went two hand you'll be wanted for bossing.

For a decent shadower you need at least 3 bil. Decent as in decently scrolled equipment, as in able to hime efficiently. I'm sorry but no matter how you look at it, shadower is the most expencive class.

Edit: No 15 ap will not make and break you. Don't waste your money getting a wristguard, totally not worth it. Make money, save up for an attack glove than attack shield but I still reccomend you start as bishop, I mean leech right now is up to 10mil an hour if you can 2 hit skele's, you'll be accepted to any boss if you have 10 res which is like 10-20mil per boss run, I mean bishop is just a money rakin class and it will make your dit feel so more satisfying.
