I noticed that Shiraj was /RUN, using 2 lux runes and pflugs when available,
I was only /run for the defensive attributes. If you are confident in your healer, /war is fine and use Berserk for faster kills. 9/10 times you aren't attack capped in Unafraid of the Dark. Unless 1 hours are used, so. Just don't use Counterstance while fighting Shadow Lord. His physical moves are nasty + he does Defense Down. Not a good combo.
Keep doing a 3 step if footwork is down:
Shijin > Victory > Victory.
If an add spawns, do a 4 step:
Tornado Kick > Shijin > shijin > Victory.
Single 3-4 step kills the add.
