They looked cool, but this new shade does more damage than the previous two together

This is true which is why I'm thinking it would be cool if they kinda combined the old shades with the new one. So basically it still scales off of your highest offensive stats, still does AoE, but each shade does half the damage the current one does.

Basically if both shades are targeting the same enemy, it'll do the same damage it does now (just looks cooler), but if they go after different enemies it would spread the AoE damage around a bit more, which would be helpful.

Or they could have the shades always target the same enemy, whatever people prefer, I just want the two shades back. Really made this ability feel awesome.

Hoping to see an official response on the matter, at least that they are considering the idea. Seems to be favorable so far amongst us.

2 shades were cooler

Much cooler indeed and the more I think about it the more I think it would actually benefit the skill practically. Take half the damage of the current Dark Shade and give it to each the new two shades, still give them AoE capabilities, it would spread the damage around more all the while looking way cooler.

Only all the time.

To think of a reason against, wouldn't that have some impact on performance? Instead of one 'pet' now you have two and possibly with additional AOE checks going on.

And with the ranged morph, which one of the two would the user teleport to when reactivating?
