DRK Buff?

[Shurrikhan]

Was thinking that was a boss-given (de)buff at first. But if that's a DRK change instead, I am cautiously hyped.

A limited health clone could be awfully nice for avoiding tank-targeted cleaves and whatnot. Would also be pretty awesome if it tracked your movement when using Dark Passenger, or allowed you to swap positions during it, etc. (Separate CD while Shadowskin clone is active)... /drool

And with that in mind, could we get an actual Shadow WALL? And a shared-pool absorption shield via DA-Dark Mind...
...I better stop there before this gets out out of hand.

Definitely a boss thing, what with it affecting everyone. Unless DRK, for some reason, got a party-wide thing that let everyone leave a copy of themselves.

I'm not... entirely sure... what this ability would be used for if it did exist, though. Even if it were just a DRK thing that didn't affect anyone else I dunno what you'd do with a photocopy of yourself.

Ahhh. I couldn't see anyone else in the party well enough to check if they had also suddenly grown a shadow clone. Well, the mundane it is, then. /Disappointment.

Still a nice-looking mechanic though.

[Just for the sake of pondering though, I'd imagine it'd be used to hold the boss in place while you pick up adds, or, if short-lived, to avoid cleaves, etc., if damage is transferred from the shade to you, but the shade itself has no real hitbox (or has a pet-style AoE damage taken reduction). Makes me want to be able to charge it, move it, or place it on an enemy though, to haunt/reaper them...]
