From the UESP Eso Skill Browser

Summon Shade
$1 = 0.03003 Magicka + 0.00001 SpellDamage - 0.95708
Magicka, R2 = 1.00000, Ratio = 0.00

Dark Shades
$1 = 0.03003 Magicka + 0.00001 SpellDamage - 0.95708
Magicka, R2 = 1.00000, Ratio = 0.00

Shadow Image
$1 = 0.04004 Magicka + 0.00010 SpellDamage - 0.86677
Magicka, R2 = 0.99999, Ratio = 0.00

This skill has absolutely terrible spell damage scaling compared to other spells in the game. Serously 0.00001 spell damage, thats nuts. Playing with my in-game tooltip and stats the UESP values appear to me to be correct.

Is this skill bugged, or is it just intended to be terrible?

Thanks for posting this. Clearly something is not right with night blade shades, and I am inclined to think it is a bug rather than intended.

Here is another recent post that shows something is wrong with shade damage.

The skill "summon shades" and its morühs is not workign as intended, i.e. it does not do as much damage as it should.

I jsut wanted to test how much dps it does and if it would be worth using, so i used it in a normal rotation and noticed that the dps is abysmally low, despite it showing a tooltip of 1648 on my inferno staff bar.

This is the build:




In order to test the skill, i kill the precursor dummy just with the shades, i applied ele drain to show that penetration can not be the issue.
With ele drain my penetration is at around 13k, so only 5.2k from the 18.2k of veteran mobs which is aroudn 10% damage.



Loking at the parse, it just doesnt add up at all:





So the tooltip says 1,648, and the HIGHEST hit, thus a critical strike with 76% additional critical damage does 1,647?

Something is very very off here, the shades should deal a lot more damage than this. Also, the damage they do is not shown as damage numbers from the ingame combat numbers, as opposed to the sorcerer scamp for example.

@ZoS_GinaBruno, @ZOS_JessicaFolsom , please investigate.

Actually, it seems all pets are not affected by spell/weapon damage buffs, or by very very little if at all.

I just tested my sorcerer hitting Power Surge for 20% spell/weapon damage buff and the pet tool-tips for both the pet damage and the active ability, in this case the twilight matriarch heal, did not change at all.
They do change for max magicka buffs such as slotting Bound Aegis and activating it.

This is definitely a very bad very widespread bug.

@ZOS_Wrobel How did you let this slip past? @ZOS_GinaBruno / @ZOS_JessicaFolsom can you please notify Wrobel about this if he isn't viewing the forums to see this or misses it?
