i'd like to kindly disagree, rayquauza.
first let's talk about chakra. chakra in 3rd job, no, only useful really in the dojo. it's actually extremely useful in the dojo, i should say. but anyway, once you get shifter, then you will realize how important and amazing have max chakra really is. just think about it. if it doesn't click or make sense to you, i'm sorry for your loss.
shield mastery. the only problem with shield mastery is that nexon keeps forgettin to release the reverse shields. we have the TIMELESS ones, but no reverse. it's pretty fkking pointless, but anyway. as things stand in GMS, you can get 168 clean w.defense from just your reverse list. you may think this is pointless because of our avoid, but it's not something you can always count on. our avoid, and shifter, and the invincible frames are awesome, but with equips like the zhelm, htp, and a mastered reverse list, and all your other equips, you can take significantly less damage. combined with a blood build while you max MW, and you become a self-healing ghost tank.
now take into consideration that shield mastery becomes 200% in the kmst revamp, and that defense formulas are likely to change, shield mastery takes only 10 sp, it is not a skill you should ignore. meso explosion and PP really lose their effeciency in 4th job, straight up killing is so much faster, and you will understand this when you're a shad. anywa,y that's 258 w.def from a single, clean equip. scrolling for defense is not stupid, either. you have the extra luck/att and avoid from not being a str dit. i fail to understand why other CBs/shads refuse to acknowledge and consider the awesome tanking potential we have. avoid > MG > shifter > huge def > blood build > invincible frames. we are the most well rounded class in the game, with mid-range melee attacks (steal, bstep).
you call yourself a lolcb because it's cool to be self-depricating about your class, or to make fun of others, but we own, and always have. people just don't exploit the real potential we have.
EDIT: and i train with chakra as well. it's actually very easy to get used to, you simply have to know when exactly a monster will hit you with magic. there is a pretty significant damage decrease (on top of MG) when you're healing. the only time i died was when i had like less than 10 hp and i timed my chakra really late. it feels amazing though to take such few hits, and then use not even use potions when you do. there is something really empowering and satisfying about being (to me, and my build) so autonomous and survivalist with all your skills working together. chakra/SS is a million times better than PP/ME.
