Mazush 0 , 0 , 0 . That's a payback for "nerve" being blocked by weapon ward, bleh beia 
0 , 0 , 1 . Working as intended. Sometimes I feel like Dav does not even play mortals anymore, if he did he would understand that he has one UBER class with 3 kinds of blindness and Super skills/spells and better healing than a shaman, along with haste. Maybe it is going to take me rolling a shaman and dunking noobies before he realizes it. Mazush 0 , 0 , 0 . The healing is not better than shaman. You can cast heal 5 times per tick, with average of 3-4% per cast. Shaman can quad that amount.
Auhror 0 , 0 , 0 . Yea, stars sure did align there. Was lagging when I had you ensnared in town. Should have gotten you there, and the lag just slowly got worse after that. Should have knew better then to ensnare with it. Oh wells. Good fights. I should have got some save break stuff too if I had the time, would have done better with that then just guild issue. Mazush 0 , 0 , 0 . Illus pretty much fuck my shit up, I had 97 mental saves and you just spelled me up like a pooch. Totally forgot that faerie fire and flashfire are both male too... I thought I was dead for sure.
[reply to Kedaleam]Haste literally lasts for 3 rounds and you are on 0 mana, I tried it, it fucked me up royally and you can only cast it on full mana, which in a fight you almost never have and if you start with haste and don't 3-round someone, you are more fucked than you can imagine.
Blindness dust has huge delay and is mal dependent, it's all about RNG/luck.
Shurikens don't go through protective shield and are very RNG, now that they do almost no damage they are not very viable, just very situational. Too much RNG again.
What Shadow has is a lot of utility for different kind of tactics, which I find nice because you get to play more than murder/bash spam gameplay.
Considering how nerfed assassinate is and that you can't strangle+dust til blind anymore, I don't see anything wrong with a shadow. They are fragile fucks. One dispel and you can get two-rounded by illus/necros. Invokers outdps and kick your ass big-time unless you get lucky upper hand.
Warriors/serkers can hobble+bash you to death with an ease.
700 hps don't last long...
I am still certain that purely on a trash-pk meter ranger and warrior has easier time beating whatever class than shadow has. Shadow just takes a lot of hit and run tries until you get it right with rng.
There's a lot of "unbalanced" stuff if you think about it, illus, invokers, dks etc. they all have their little quirks.
But it's far better than it used to be where DKs would just go around cleaving people into half and ninjas would jump around with goblin short sword. Trust me, it used to be WAY more frustrating.
Nothing to complain here now, let's move on folks.
