Yeah, that's true. Back before the test servers went down, I did a bit of experimenting with powers and such, destruction at level 100 can do easily upwards of 100 damage. I have no idea what shadow magic can do at anything above 40, but I assume all that happens is you get bigger melee boosts and possible more stamina restoration. Either way, they both have their benefits, shadow magic is good against battles where you'd have to roll anything above a 12, if you use destruction there you're still likely to take damage, whereas shadow magic now will allow you to keep your combat roll up while still dishing out damage. Plus, I love the concept of shadows swarming around your opponent, guiding your hand so that your blade strikes vital points every time. I do find it odd that shadows that have a basis in the necromantic realm would heal you, but what can ya do? *grin* ----- Original Message ----- From: "Xiao Long Nu" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, June 18, 2007 5:19 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Sryth's New Power?
