Shadowsear

Can anyone help me understand how this works as the description is abit vague?

Ive tried lowering my hp and then hitting an undamaged mob, the otherway round and at both at full hp.

HP doesn't really matter as much as the description makes it seem like it does. Just use it whenever.

Using it in conjunction with Chainspell gives you a nice and quick 1200-1400 damage against NMs.

Yeah the HP component may be broken in it. Just enjoy for now doing at least 300 and at max 1000+ while your dd friends go "no fair i was enjoying hitting that mob for 40 dmg a whack!"

most ive seen my self do so far with it is 968 and my lowest 128, but I think I agree that the HP part is slightly malfunctioning

or atleast the Description needs editing to something more specific

Your HP does matter. Way back during grinding THM up on Raptors I tested this out. At full HP, my shadowsears were doing around 600ish IIRC and criting for around 900. When I dropped my HP to between 125-150 my shadowsears would crit for over 1.2k. I can't recall what the normals were.

Like I said earlier, it doesn't matter as much as the description makes it sound like it does.

It's totally not worth getting yourself in the position to be one-shot just so you can do an extra 300 dmg every 2.5 minutes.

Y'all still have shadowsear on your bar? Such a useless skill, not even worth the cast time.

Chainspell + Shadowsear = 1200 dmg against NMs in 5 seconds. Doesn't seem like such a bad tradeoff...

Considering it's one of the only spells that actually hurt the big NMs compared to the other nukes. The DoT spells are ok, but keeping them up is a pain in my lalafel ass!
