Feedback:User/SAL/Shadow Form PvE change

From Guild Wars Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

Here's my thoughts on changing the PvE version of Shadow Form, which I feel could potentially solve a lot of the problems related to it. This would actually buff the skill in certain ways, and make it easier to maintain. But it would also require more careful use of the skill, due to the mandatory one second or so downtime during recasting. I feel like this change could keep Shadow Form as a viable option for tanking, but discourage it from being quite as overused as it is now.
