Living Shadow

[Sancho_Nyanta]

I have 2 big gripes about Fray as he currently is. First is how long the cooldown timer is for him. I love how cool the skill looks but with a 2 min CD we just see him so infrequently. I wish that it was on a 1 min CD or shorter, even if his damage output would have to be lowered to compensate it. The second gripe is the initial start up animation being counted on the timer. If they want us to have him up for 18 seconds just don't start the clock until the windup animation is done.

If I was able to make a personal wish for the skill, I'd wish that Living Shadow would consume our Darkside buff and then when we'd use Edge or Flood of Shadow, it would refresh his timer instead. This would even make sense from a lore standpoint as we're "unleashing our inner darkside" and it would justify the large icon they gave us just for Darkside. I know that it won't happen but it'd be kewl AF if it did.

You know I feel like we were supposed to be able to keep him up for longer, there's no way they made a cool looking gauge just for those few seconds (they probably did). But it would awesome to keep him up longer or just have a shorter CD. Or maybe shorten the CD if we proc dark arts (though maybe that sounds better on paper).

What if they made Living Shadow a passive? Instead of something you execute unto itself, they could make it so certain abilities call the shadow to battle momentarily, where it performs a duplicate of the attack you'd just done. This would require it to be made significantly weaker than it currently is, but the end result would be getting to see a lot more of Fray. Would also probably make the ability way easier for them to balance.
