Overall the shadow master is stronger and tougher, with a random assortment of items, which can gain magical bonus as the skill level grows, including ones that boost skill levels, or resistance boosts that are capable of giving the Master immunity to certain elements (her resistance does not suffer from Nightmare and Hell's penalty, nor are they capped at 75%).

Though this can be useful, using Master instead of Warrior does have pros and cons. The upgrade to Shadow Warrior this skill allows the shadow to use skills the Assassin herself might not even know.

The Shadow Master has access to all of the Assassin skills, also skills you don't have yet. This discipline allows an Assassin to project an even more powerful shadow avatar.
