    Shadow images don't have health right? So there will be no effect.

    Doesnt the update include scaling off cp dmg buffs as well or it already does I guess. Stupid question, my bad. I guess potentially this change could allow for it to double dip dmg from cp tree.

    Any monster summoned by an Item Set proc now inherits any bonuses you have. The most notable bonuses are damage done and healing done from passive abilities, Major/Minor buffs, or the Champion System.

    I tested them on the pts a few days ago, and they still hit like a soggy sweetroll. I wouldn't get my hopes up.

    Yeah I think they need to apply the same rules as proc sets and then increase the base damage. Our pets suck.

    The changes on the PTS were specifically aimed at pets from monster sets, not pets from class skills. So I would assume not, but I haven't tested.

    This doesn't effect Sorc summons so it wouldn't affect Summon Shade either...

    .... but if you're complaining about Shade/s, you have to remember: they're immune to damage, can't be targeted or stopped, apply Minor Maim (target does 15% less damage) on hit... and they only take up one bar slot because they're not toggles (they just have a duration).


    For a long time only NB's could use Necropotence simply because Sorc pets had so many weaknesses they weren't worth using. Shades serve their purpose well, but that purpose isn't doing damage.

    For me this thread is answered. It was not my goal to ask for a buff etc. I just wanted to see if they were. Thanks to everyone that helped answer my question. Lets not turn this into a buff Shade thread please, if someone wants to then may as well start a new thread. Once again thanks for the info.

    Run the Necropetence set and they are worthwhile on a MagBlade
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.
