I've updated to v0.08. I'm starting to create a post-Legend chart, but I'm missing one very important piece of info - Does anyone know what the hand cannon weapon multiplier is? If you do, please let me know, thanks!
Sorry, I've decided not to factor in the coin buildup during weapon cancels. It's just way too much of a pain to implement.
That's true, I've added an on/off switch for shadow stars as well as soul arrow if archers similarly want to increase their damage.
Ninja ambush appears to be way too slow to be worth using. You can triple throw around twice in the time it takes to cast. I can look into it if you really want me to though.

There is a slight difference among those though. The magic crash manipulating and DoT before cancel must include anticipation of the upcoming WDEF; the same is not the case for building up coins. Once the WDEF goes up, that is when the action actually occurs (not before), and it can make a pretty big difference. Take an example 30 second duration: during this time period 41 2/3 SBs can be used to build up 400 coins, which later results in 26 2/3 extra MEs. It would get a little hairy in trying to implement the extra MEs into the combination, so I will try to derive something for you myself.
I sort of thought that is where you were going with that combination. Shadowers are very odd because the PDR level determines what skill combination you should use. As it gets higher and higher, you move from a combination of SB, BS, and ME, to some combination of assaulter with BS and ME (such as yours), then somehow assaulter +ME, then to strictly assaulter!
I have been considering to develop a sort of chart with various levels of PDR which would give a corresponding %/sec output for the various combinations. Plus, I kinda have been giving you hard time about this class when you have done a great job overall (and I'm sure the community appreciates your effort), so it is only right for me to pull some weight myself, if you will. My summer semester just ended today so I will begin working on this tomorrow, time permitting.

While the average NL would run out of stars within about 30min of solid attacking, that's about a boss run, so pumping Expert Throwing and leaving S Claw off during the fight would be a viable, if costly, way to increase DPS. Perhaps have it as a yes/no option?
I'll try that for row 84 and see if it works.

Ninja Ambush, I put a point in it to mess around, it appears to be basically passive damage once activated. It's only level 1, so it's doing 1600 a second for five seconds, but with points put in it, would it actually be viable to use, or would the time spent casting (and so not constantly TT'ing) not be worth the damage output?
