Shadowbreed Overview

[Chrome]

I tried to figure out what the different shadowbreeds are supposed to work like according to aodb. I know that some don't (Clan Opifex?) and I must admit that I've been surprised to see that neutrals also have one (do they?), but anyway:

Here's the purely scientific view at it, if you want to put it like that:

Based on the 'final' SB, the one you can't use before level 215 ... *cough*

Clan Shadowbreeds
Omni Shadowbreeds
Neutral Shadowbreeds

Any feedback is highly appreciated!

Still dunno why I can't like images directly .... Oo

Thanks for making this comparisson!

I think it would be helpful if you include the duration and recycle times for each SB as well. Some shadowbreeds have almost no duration at all (10 sec), while others last longer (30 sec). Likewise, how often they can be used vary from 3 to 5 hours. This info would be helpful to have when comparing the power of the various Shadowbreeds.

Those SB need to be removed from the game imo.... They arent needed and some are way too powerfull compared to other.

Well, PvM they kinda fine i guess, but they make PvP so lame (tower war mostly).

Nono keep them in-game! In fact lower the recharge a bit

[Nunodruff]

I'm pretty clueless about the whole SB deal but it strikes me odd that the clan nanomage SB is called Life..any reason for that at all?

Bump to that. Or let Clan / Omni use the same ones. Just make them breed specific. Not Breed / Side specific.

Clan opi breed is much better than opi.. but then again that's a side advantage.. no reason for it to be undone... there should be differences in the sides.

What you entirely "forgot" to mention is that omni opi sb has 30s duration while the clan opi sb has 10s.... And for me, as a shade, omni opi sb would be 50 times as useful as my current..

Also forgot to mention the fact that clan opi SB must be targetted on a hostile at a max range of 4m. While that may well be ok for shades, i tend to like keeping my distance

Clan opi SB is totally useless and i hardly ever use it, its gone before the omnis even notice

I don't want to get involved with the whole clan/omni is better thing, suffice to say that PvP would be a lot more fun/interesting if the whole lot were restricted to non-pvp only and let you choose whichever SB you wanted.


(Note to RK2ers reading this, i dont think that SB have had any relation on omnis recent victories, the real cause of that is simple numbers and motivation )

[Nargo]

Omni trox SB rocks for raiding in pande

[Dagfinn]

I'm Omni and a Solitus... just love the SB in pvp!

Keep it on topic and civil people please.

Our guild went alone with a few people to attack a 250 omni base while we were waiting for our CC to recharge so we could get some aliens. Just for fun.

Omnis come, ofcource. I get attacked by 3+ people and I use my allmighty clan solitus SB that heals for 15k and that made me live 3 seconds longer. I used it when I was at 10% hp, it CH'ed me and then I died

I couldnt run out of there because I was rooted with omni SB, I had recieved a 3500 nuke from omni SB and I had a nasty DoT running from omni SB.

Nothing I can do.

Omni SB is designed to be offensive while clan is defensive. Its MUCH easier to make use of an offensive SB since you can time that perfectly and allways get 100% effect from it. If I use 15k area heal then maby I only healed 3 people cause the rest wasnt attacked while your root, DoT, nuke and such affects everyone.

[Escritores]

Offensive SB's will always own defensive SB's... Not that i don't like my Clan Atrox SB that's all lovely, but the other clan SB's are quite ridiculous compared to the OT ones in lag wars... High lvl 200+ NW shows it clearly that these things are ridiculously unbalanced.. But somehow FC don't see anything wrong with it...
