I'm gonna try to keep it as open and generalized as possible for easy understanding!
Shadowers:
Pros:
-Highest mobility among physical melee classes due to haste and Flash Jump.
-Has very high mob damage potential with meso explosion.
-Best survivablilty among the thief classes due to Meso Guard and Shield Mastery on top of Avoid abilities.
-Varying skills for different mob situations makes it more engaging compared to most classes.
-At the time of this writing, is set to improve DRASTICALLY along with Justice patch.
Cons:
-The varying range on your different skills demand attention to your position when attacking. Though the avoid skills compensate for that a little. If you're not following your proper attack cycles you can lose damage potential. Ultimately the fun of skill comboing is a double edged sword since it requires more memorization/attention than most 1 button classes.
-As with all thieves, the high dex requirements can be annoying to manage.
-Some of the most effective single target skills have very short range.
-lacks a Rush or Pull type skill, common among melee classes.
