Double shadow damage, sometimes

I don't quite understand how this works, but this is what I have seen:

• Direct shadow damage (e.g. with Shadow Strike) is as in skill description.
• Indirect shadow damage (e.g. with Mark of Pain) is double that in the skill.

Almost made me feel pity seeing mutiple 84's melting groups of these beasts (at 16 Curses). Can anyone explain the difference in shadow damage behavior? (Ralmon the Gen 22:08, 1 April 2009 (UTC))

Ahh! Very interesting, and you even answered in the same minute - amazing! I guess I simply never hit them with Shadow Strike while they were attacking? (Ralmon the Gen 22:12, 1 April 2009 (UTC))

Maybe. Shadow Strike is usually used at the beginning of combat, and they don't usually activate Frenzy till a bit later and you'd be using some other skill. Vili >8< 22:17, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Makes sense to me! I appreciate your rapid feedback. Thanks (Ralmon the Gen 22:24, 1 April 2009 (UTC))
