TheVindelator.8239 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 What are the advantages/disadvantages of using 1 bigger shade instead of 3 weaker ones? I guess you get a bigger effect instantly with just one summon? Do you save on life force? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atticus.7194 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 huge disadvantage you lose Demonic Lore which is a massive DPS loss and core behind scourge doing anything close to decent dps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wintermute.5408 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 You get 1 shade to manage. You don't take Demonic lore. Duh. You get 10 people coverage without mumbo-jumbo with cooldowns You get full bonus from that trait that works off amount of shades at all times. Which is pretty much impossible with regular shades. Edit: you know, that censoring joke with plural of 'shade' is getting old really really fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Rising.7850 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Shade covers 5, you cover 5. 10 second cool down on shade, reposition more often. Larger area covered by shade. (Player as well I believe) Get all the benefits of 3 shades constantly. I mainly pvp and I think this trait is the best grandmaster for scourge. Between the shade zone of effect and player zone you can cover both the point and areas nearby. Perma 15% damage reduction and no worries about spamming shroud skills as they will cover the whole point. For PvE demonic lore is a better choice, the boon stealing is good for wvw and mediocre for pvp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it a bit too unpredictable to be good. Nefarious Favor already covers that role for giving us the boons we never can get, sweet sweet resistance and vigor.
