Hi all,

I'm trying to figure out which skill is doing what, exactly.

Dark Shades - summon 2 shades. Is this doubling the 15% damage debuff on target, or do they go for different targets, or is it just improving the skill's damage output a little?

Shadow Image - teleport to shade. I heard this was good for kiting.

    The debuff does not stack with the 2 shades morph.
    The damage is slightly higher with the 2 shades morph, however the damage of both morphs is terrible.
    The 2 shades still go for the same target, and can be slightly confusing for new players in Cyrodil (anyone who actually knows what they are just ignores them).
    Personally I Think that the shadow image morph is better, as the ability to kite bosses can be useful when trying to solo (the 15% debuff also helps).

    Also, the duration of shadow image increases 1 second per skill level. So at max level, shadow image lasts 4 more seconds than the shades.

    At first I used the teleport morph for kiting/pvp, but recently I put more value in the shades because they drain stamina against blocking targets very efficiently.
