Nothing wrong with Weapon of Shadow. The blind applies after the hit. It's one second cast can be interrupted. Ranger can dshot it just fine. Lightblade 18:07, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * 20 seconds recharge is already alot. Don't make this skill unusable. --216.113.208.132 01:57, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

is already balanced, dont QQ 189.70.138.10 01:05, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

It's expensive, it casts slow, and it has a massive recharge. What's wrong with it again? Riotgear 04:31, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It's passive. Dark Morphon  (contribs)  11:18, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

and, what's the problem on this being passive? does izzy wants to nerf every single passive defense skill so the whammos will stop QQing to him? 189.70.189.48 19:47, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Aegis and Wards are pretty passive. Soul Reaping is passive, spirits are passive, minions are passive. This won't be stopping interrupts or a hammer war's first KD. Guardian can. Moush 19:05, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

This skill is too easy to use. Up the blind duration but make it only trigger once, then end, a la Vengeful Weapon. ~Shard (talk / Nerf List) 06:08, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Only if the blind ups to 10 seconds, in which case it would last the same duration as the Weapon itself would normally last. Any less and it's too weak for the cost, cast time and recharge.  76.89.81.150 15:42, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

As we all wanna get rid of passive defense (and if you dont remove gw from youre computer) I think this is rather a buff then a nerf while removing the passive ability to set youre monk on brainless half of the time it now has the ability to stop melee spikes resulting in a nice anti-spike.Lilondra 06:51, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * interesting defence to your suggestion the classic - "im right youre wrong", weapon of shadow will only protect 1 person, and even then its only for 50% of the time. yes its a rather passive defence, but this one is easily countered by a more active offence 76.26.189.65 10:50, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Wich is why we want to change it right ? My suggestion is more antispike.Lilondra 08:03, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * its a good change too 76.26.189.65 10:16, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * thx,its to stop meleespikes as most meleespikes are every 10 seconds (average,changes from lvl of pvp etc)So this could easely stop something like an sp sin or a sp sin(although nerfed to hell).Lilondra 16:13, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * stop this QQing it fails so much --Blood Anthem [[Image:User Blood Anthem Sig.jpg|19px]] 16:15, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Why am i QQing actually i found it silly they nerfed things like an sp sin they just have to buff passice defense so they indirectly nerf shadowsteps (spikes become less effective) etc.Lilondra 15:31, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * isnt 3 second duration too short though? make it upto 6 76.26.189.65 03:16, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Then recharge should be 12 atleast and its just to stop spikes.Lilondra 16:18, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * agreed on 10-12, at 15 it becomes a bit too long imo. Worth taking. I wouldn't mind this change. 213.121.242.200 14:28, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Awesome Suggestion! I was just going to suggest something exactly like that! Hope they listen to you..--Lancy1214 14:15, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
