Well shadow weapons are good pve oriented weapons...
But i think there is a problem with shadow shaper ...
For example lets compare shadow slasher with specter slasher for tyrr class...
P atk -- shadow >> specter (way more)
Atk speed, crit rate -- Shadow >> specter anyway
+10 % pve vs 10 % pvp
And also shadow slasher has +15% hp/mp
So for pvp shadow slasher > specter slasher 2 sa
And for pve Shadow >>> Specter
Same is for almost all weapons types for its related classes ...
But how about shadow shaper vs even apoc dagger 2 sa even stage 3...
+10% crit damage, +10% pve damage, +15% atk speed, +7% p atk , +15% hp/mp VS +8% crit damage + 10% pvp damage + 23% max hp + addition crit dmg at +4 and augment option...
Problem is that othell basically dont need atk speed at all... And also p atk is not such important thing as well (unlike other classes)
So we get that in pvp apoc dagger way better than shadow...
And in pve as dp-s yes shadow is a bit better, but in overall i am complicated to use weapon which give less hp than my apoc ...
I am othell i need to resist mobs damage which is same important like dps lol...
In my opinion shadow weapon should give +15% crit damage and +25% max hp instead 10% and 15% like now...
