Remove Shadowfeast FROM THE GAME!

<Nemesis> gives 4296 Health Points to <Nemesis> with Shadowfeast.
And that every second! This is the most OP thing this game has EVER seen!

First Demoiselle Nocturne, then Ao'Qephoth and now our nemesis were given it. WHY!? What makes you think Darkness should be nearly invincible!?!

This power, buff or whatever it is has to go! :mad:

    I hate to swing the nerfbat, but this is absolutely right. I categorically refuse to even sign up for one of these alerts, anymore. It's especially bad because there's basically only one power in the entire game that can even partially cope with it (Skarn's Bane). Any power that requires someone to have a specific power in order to have any chance of success is poorly designed.

    You do know that blocking not only reduces the damage to you, but prevents the healing right?

    Here we are now going to the West Side
    Weapons in hand as we go for a ride
    Some may come and some may stay
    Watching out for a sunny day
    Where there's love and darkness and my sidearm

    In game as @forgemccain

    That was for Life Drain and Devour Essence. :rolleyes:
    Shadowfeast is something entirely different: An automatical heal, exclusive to legendary-ranked Darkness NPCs, that seems to kick in whenever a player character attacks. As you see above, the amount of HP it heals per tick is ridiculous. Legendary Darkness villains became all but invincible because of it! Its only weakness is that attacks from NPCs do not trigger it, for some reason.

    shadow feast if the healing buff from shadow form
    whats so strange about shadow feast is that it does very little for player builds, yet is so massively OP for bosses
    only a 2.6% heal at rank 3, like a weaker the rush of battle spec
    but how many hp does the worm have? ohhhhhhhhhhh

    maybe it would be better to give it a flat healing rate instead of a %

    Thanks for nailing the problem on the (worm) head.
    Makes me wonder though why it became OP so suddenly and why it was fixed for Demoiselle Nocturne alone.

    Tbh, I did not even notice players have Shadowfeast too. It really does next to nothing for them, and I wouldn't miss it at all if it was removed.

    Hi, I'm personal force field. I'd like to just stop by here and just say hey. How's it going?


    You hit the nail on the head so hard you broke the hammer.
    In game, I am @EvilTaco. Happily killing purple gang members since May 2008.

    Yeah .. PFF is the other thing thats so overpowered when used by legendarys, while totally
    underpowerd on players.

    Has anyone btw. ever managed to kill a PFF Nemesis in a Dockstep Alert ? Shadowform has
    at least the "advantage" that they vanish in the middle of the fight :rolleyes:

    As others have pointed out this is not the fault of Shadow feast directly but instead a problem with how powers scale up when given to high ranking NPCs they should probbaly just not give NPCs the player version of shadow form and instead have a NPC only version.

    They should do the same with PFF which is used by quite a few NPC and that dam gas arrow that the hawk chic has

    I agree. But Gas Arrow doesn't scale with the user's HP.

    I was just pointing it out as another one of those powers that are sub par/ok ish on player characters but when on a NPC become horrendous (being perma held and watching your HP tick away not so fun)
