Also Lelouch fails to mention that versus a Monkcher in Fury, throwers are much better against undead, as they do not rely on Crits for DPS.
Thing is in mark, you dont need "stable" damage that compares to monkchers burst after 2 hours of throwing.
You need burst, you dont need trasch control in that raid since trash is simply controled by blind and stf.
IF you kill trash you actually make it harder on the raid to be completed.
And shuri builds are trash clearing builds, they were never boss dps builds.
Only thing a shuri can be used in that raid is to keep abbot perma stacked with vulner.
But thats a simple thing a couple monkchers do waybetter since he is perma stacked anyways.
A th forged bow a bow of silver flame, and someone throws in destruction.
I mean, mark was completed in 2 minutes with a set of monkchers.
I guarantee you cant complete it faster on shuri builds.
They lack burst, what they lacked in every single high raid ee raid solos and the most horrific thing is that they dont bypass any dr so their alrdy low damage is being negated by abbot.
They just utterly suck in mark and most new content from necro4.
Also new monkcher has even more burst aka 14/6 helf or elf then former one.
Since ddo can be considerd a game which has its endgame focused on etr/tr (sadly still the case) shuri builds that are superb at 28 and really really suck hard before that arent really good builds.
They are fun, but they are lv 28 builds for trash control.
Also, unless you are in shadowdancer, most versions with rogue really lose crap load dps from lack of sneak damage.
Dont need to be in crusader as shuri since its virtually imposible to ever get aggro from a good palie/monkcher in mark anyways
I dont dislike shuri builds, im always trying to tell my opinion from the current meta game view.
my preference is sorcs and some odd builds that dont really mix good in the games current flavor which shifted toward high prr/mrr melles and druids with swf/2weap fight.
Ranged got the short stick beside monkchery which can still somewhat abuse holy sword for their builds.
Could maybe do a holy sword shuri, but since the base damage is horrific it wouldnt be worth it
