Personally I believe shadower is very overwhelming here. Does more damage than nls with max tt and better gear and books are much easier to get and boomerang step range is insanely busted..
Now we both know you're exaggerating when you say it's outdpsing NL with max TT (Quad throw). Slap a SE buff on a NL and power balance is greatly favored for NL as usual.
On a 2nd note bandit can't compete with other classes (who also got buffed) without the changes that have been made.
This is a good change for the class because as things stand smoke is on a long CD and it's not a change that single handedly buffs shadower, it buffs anyone bossing with a shad in party
My two cents
