question about NB's Dark Shades

tintin_milou · March 2015

Hi expert NB's!

The enemy-debuff (Minor Maim - reducing targets damage by 15%) for 4 sec due to Shades' attacks from using NB's Dark Shades: since the shades' attacks last at least 15 secs, does Minor Maim lasts 15 + 4 = 19 secs?

Or does Minor Maim only apply during the first 4 secs of the shades' attacks?

Thanks for your help!

I haven't tested this, but typically when they word something like this it means it only lasts x amount, and not x amount over the typical time. So I think minor maim in this instance only lasts 4 seconds, which is kind of lame but oh well.

It says it right in the tooltip. "The [shade's/shades'] attacks deal [X] Magic Damage and cause Minor Maim". Assuming the tooltip is correct, each attack by the shade(s) will cause the Minor Maim effect. If it doesn't, then the tooltip is wrong.

IMO it's reapplied as long as the shades are there and hitting your target(s). So theoretically, with good timing it will last for up to 19 seconds in total, yes.

OK I hope you are right about Night Shades Minor Maim lasting longer than 4s!

Is there an easy way to test the Minor Maim duration?
