Talk:Shadowy Burden

Confusing description
-20 armour against your attacks? only you?? &mdash; Skuld  09:25, 5 July 2006 (CDT)


 * Solo effects are not that uncommon, it's just this skill adds some new flavor with it being a Hex spell. Expose Defenses is similar in that fact. Its like Primal Rage that adds slowness, you can still use your skills, and its a non-elite. -Gares 09:50, 5 July 2006 (CDT)

Hm. So this would be more effective against a 60 armor character than 20% armor penetration, correct? Being that it's 33% of their actual armor. In fact... It appears that this is better than 20% armor penetration for anything with less than 100 armor. Equal at 100 armor, and less effective at below 100 armor. Any thoughts? --Crazytreeboy 23:15, 18 July 2006 (CDT)
 * More to note, I just realized why it won't let you stack hexes. With weaken armor, you'd be dealing double damage against any character.  This skill adds, as far as I recall armor working, about 50% damage. --Crazytreeboy 23:21, 18 July 2006 (CDT)
 * About 41% damage, actually. 213.84.230.131 12:32, 22 January 2007 (CST)

This is definetly worth using now :)--Blade (talk|contribs) 04:11, 2 February 2007 (CST)

With the change to its cast time, DEFINITELY a good skill now.

Too bad it's 10e, 15 recharge and easy to remove (no cover hex possible)--Rickyvantof 13:57, 12 March 2007 (CDT)

What would happen if 2 casters of this had a common target? Who would get the bonus AP? The last caster only?
 * Both. --Fyren 04:34, 24 April 2007 (CDT)


 * try this skill along with 20% armor penetration mod and 15^50 mod and you will have a ele that has 40 armor and you have 35% rmor penetration.. you will be doing crazy amounts of damage especially with this..

Shadowy burden -> deaths charge -> Tiger Stance -> Black Lotus Strike -> Twisting Fangs -> Black Spider Strike -> Blades of Steel

even a warriors hit by that would drop like flys... against warriors they would have 60 armor and you with 35% armor penetration Lex 14:28, 31 May 2007 (CDT)

This skill is Lol
One of the most powerful skills in the game as it is now. When combined with say, Shattering Assault or the ridiculous base damage of a Scythe or Hammer, you'll be doing over 100 damage on most of your hits.

Ever tried this with a Ranger? I thought it might work...--Rickyvantof 03:34, 11 April 2007 (CDT)

This is a great skill. I use it with my Dervish to pretty much kill someone with one spike. Readem (talk *contribs ) 14:34, 31 May 2007 (CDT)
