Don't get too excited, Jello. Trill will probably become lamer!

during the first parts of the test server the changes werent successfully placed in. We were fighting under normal circumstances more or less, doing 2 wounds etc etc.

Even the speed difference seemed quite significant. Ask icarus, he was actually the one to say I was noticeably slower as an Aslaran. Then add in stealing shadows and the weapon aura its not very hard to understand how the damage could stack up. Normally i do 300-500 damage as an Aslaran at around 2+ seconds. As a shadowlord with weapon aura i have more damage at a faster rate (lets say 2 seconds flat, 400-600). Then add 200 damage from the shadow, so id do 600-800, in 4 seconds that adds up to 1200-1600. 1600 damage in 4 seconds without arties, thats almost how much Murphy hit me with his elemental runes before they got toned down. Thats a huge difference from my normal 600-1000 in around 5 seconds. Given hit rates that dps goes down but then there are ways of increasing that dps like stacking various afflictions and bleeding which is easier to do with faster speeds.

This is night totem though, as a crow... well i couldnt figure out how to build a crownest so i wasnt able to test that.

200 damage from shadow? On what planet!
