Update report - It is very strong :3 Level 24 I been soloin stuff in Overthere near the skyfire mountains (level 30-35 monsters). My spells can't even hit them....but doesn't matter since I got a skeleton pet, sow, and a bow

I was also soloing in Lake of Ill omen near a higher level necromancer....killing yellows (stuff he was fighting)....I could kill them faster over a period, since I didn't have downtime.
Shadow Archery is, as I expected, stronger than a ranger in soloing because of the pet. So far the lower skill in archery hasn't been a serious problem (and being able to reliably hit things so much higher level than me already means I know I will be able to keep it up until at least 40-45....and of course my pet will be getting a lot stronger along the way).
