I still haven't seen the crit and hit percent on shadow compared to mega, that is why I am asking. Yeah that is a pretty big difference. So there are so many factors playing into this, that you should decide on these two things.

1.) Survivability - MM is way better for surviving. Its really high skill damage, but at the expense of crit and hit, which lower its mob clearing abilities so much, that keeper outperforms it still.
2.) Overall damage and mob clearing - Shadow will be way better at mob clearing, considering how high the crit and hit is compared to MM. My keeper and MM tests on ability to clear mobs prove that a much higher crit and hit will outperform a higher skill and base damage.

Wait, so the hit percents are the same on the two?
