Link above will solve your question regardless but it depends on what you’re killing or doing. Tbow is good with just slay helm on task/void and shadow will excel wherever you can use it’s passive

Thank you - I was mostly wondering about shadow above all else. I hear it just hits even against high mage def bosses

bofa carries ezpz until tbow
allows you to diversify also

edit:
shadow may be different story, but really depends on what you plan on doing

Shadow amplifies the magic accuracy and dame of the gear you are wearing so ideally the better the gear is the better the DPS
But it still slaps in rebuild gear pretty damn well

Same goes for the Tbow, you can literally run Tbow and black dhides and rebuild up to max gear doing raids
Just check out youtube, there are tons of "Tbow Rebuild" and "Shadow Rebuild" Videos out there

It's seeming like I should try to get max mage w/ shadow and try to keep bowfa/crystal. I'll have to see what my funds look like after 99 mage/range

Weapon > armor
Pray and dodge

staff really go brr?

Staff go brrr. I mean it 3x your magic dmg. 4x in TOA specifically.
Tbow is very good too. Just really depends on what content you wanna do.

e/ but BIS magic goes from 30% dmg with a sang + ward (f) to 75% dmg with a shadow.

Think I'll full send mage and try to keep the bowfa gear for ranged. Ideally I want to get into ToA solos soon, gauntlet is getting old.
