Shadow Mage update?

Post by Gazfrost » Fri May 05, 2023 9:13 pm

I would not mind playing a Shadow mage but the class seems under valued.
I know that Shadow mage gains +1 caster level for every S/D level .

Why can't they get for every 1/3 or 2/3 levels of Shadow mage to S/D levels?
Better Hide skills and a stronger shadow without investing so many levels into S/D and same with HIPS you still need 11 levels of S/D to get that feat..

When you look at Shaman they get Synergy from using Barbarian levels, good example: for every 2/3 shaman levels they get stronger Tribal Warriors, so 27 levels of Shaman and 3 levels of Barbarian gets you x2 level 21 Tribal Warriors with a 6 min cooldown.

So why can't Shadow mages get the same deal?

My guess is that the Shadowdancer class is up for a rework. Maybe when that happens we'll see some synergy there.

This is actual RPR 50 behaviour.

Shadowdancer synergy with Shadow Mage was some of the first attempts at doing class synergies on the server, and was sort of only halfway implemented, and often widely considered to be a trap that isn't worthwhile. It's just outdated when compared to current stuff. Whether a dev will work on it I don't know!
