Weapon of Shadow

Life Infusion Issue -- 01:26, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Issue

pretty passive, it gets slapped on and your target has immunity to melee.

Suggestion 1

make it only last for 2-3 attacks (like Nightmare Weapon but defensively) to prevent sin-spikes but not warrior pressure.

reduce recharge to 15 after this change above

Suggestion 2

make it only blind on attack skill

Issue

Get rid of passive defense and make it very useful when skillfully used.

Suggestion 1

Weapon of Shadow -

5 ¼ 8 For 1...3...4 seconds, target ally has a Weapon of Shadow and foes attacking that ally are blinded for 1...3...4 seconds.

The blind applies BEFORE the attack making the weapon spell is very useful against melee spikes.

Issue

Not competitive with other melee shutdown skills such as Enervating Charge, Enfeeble, Enfeebling Blood, Shadowsong or Withering Aura in PvE.

Suggestion

Split off PvE version, reduce recharge time, raise maximum duration or raise maximum blindness duration to make the blindness sustainable.
