Not being a STR shadower is like going STRless or DEXless for another class. It always loses out in the endgame. You're stuck with below average stuff and lose a ton of weapon attack just for a petty amount of base stats that can mostly be made up for just because Shadowers can take advantage of 3 stats instead of 1.
Most strong end game nls are actually dexless and still can use high level dex claws like craven because they can use dex gears...
A character should always keep their secondary stat to a min to benefit the most from maple warrior
on topic: str bandits with a decent dragon khanjar overpowers lukless but requires tons of fund
by pumping str or dex u might also waste nx late game since once u got better str and dex gear u will have to wash out those wasted ap u spent on adding str and dex...which result in wasting unnecessary money...
The cheapest way IMO is to train as dexless until level 200 then merchant like crazy until u can minimize the stats that u need to spend on str and dex so u can benefit the most from MW
