"It's only shadows, so why does it deal so much damage" Seriously that's what he says? And this man is/was basically a pro at games???? What a disappointment
@Galatheus Maybe in this game, non-physical beings typically do less damage than physical ones. Ex. ghosts doing less damage than zombies. Alternatively, shadow beings already existed and were known to not do much damage. Being a pro at gaming doesn't mean he knows everything about every game he's played. Especially not this game, in which he doesn't know the full limits of his new class, let alone the other new classes.
@MachineGunViperWheels He's fighting a special subclass of assassin to begin with, the "it deals so much damage" should not be a thing against something that is supposed to assassin things, otherwise he'd be fighting against a squishy warrior. If we're going to talk about the damage on itself, I agree that a shadow would deal less physical damage, but it'd complement it with magical one. And I'm not going to the statement of knowing everything about everything, but that after years of playing you have to expect stuff to deal a lot of damage, more so from an assassin specialized in that stuff.
