A Proper Rework for Shadow is Needed, and my suggestions

[Aneurysm-nerzhul]

Ram up mechanic does not work i promise you and for a drain system there needs to be a counter to the drain for it to work otherwise its simply a timed buff.

Sure, make it a timed buff. That’s an option. Similar to demonic for Demon Hunters.

@Heylaa-proudmoore

I think the best way to deal with it is to make it a fixed drain rate with no ramp up with spenders. your dots and other spell will counter the drain however the spenders will make it hard to maintain and the playstyle turns into what should i spend my resource on as it depletes and how to maintain it form depleting.

That’s pretty much WoD Demo lock mechanic which after asking a couple of warlock mains said they loved it and miss it

This is fine also.

Both are better then current form.

But I still say axe insanity all together lol.
