Shadowclad

Heya guys, I've been wondering if anyone has experience with new shadowclad armor. We all know how it is on the paper, I'm curious how does it performs in fact in PvP ?

    As far as I remember , the TR´s I could not kill or that killed me in most cases all slotted Negation.
    A fat DR on top of a fat deflection + mitigation makes a TR near unkillable as we know.
    Like someone wrote "The TR decides if he want´s to be killed"

    btw, anyone having a screenshot of the look of that thing ? :)
    Please fix Zhentarim Warlock companion's skill "Arcane Warping" to the originally intended "Arcane Boost"

    Pure -> Transcendent Plague Fire weapon enchantment giving 80damge/20 seconds for 500k+ AD is a joke.

    saw a gwf with trans shadowclad the yesterday. Put a dot on him and he was invisible for... basically ever. Fortunately he didn't hit for beans but it has the potential to be more potent than ambush rings on a tanky class.

    Negation is still better than shadowclad for any class!



    Elven battle is better as well. Hell, I would rather slot soulforge instead of shadowclad ...

    You obviously have never used Shadowclad.

    the above and also IT doesnt give damage resistance.

    Yes it does.
    Actually it gives more than Negation.
    Just saying.

    my cw had 8.5% and when it started to count stacks from 1 to to max 8 stayed 8.5%. Deflection increased.

    i see many TR deflect my sun burst knocks, not sure if it works for all but i think you can deflect knocks and pushs.
    so for PVP it might be usuefull. if i can deflect repeal it will be nice :)
    also the last daze impact looks intersting.

    the dread enchant also looks slightly "better". it do everything except shutting down the electricity in your opponent home.

    even if the dread enchant has the 75% severity(we talk about pvp right?) severity affected by tenacity how can come better than feytouched ? feytouch is flat damage 18% to all attacks and reduce incoming damage against 3 targets by 18%. i saw THE trans version but still that -4% on dr means nothing to me for pvp. EVEN if i was a trapper i would prefer to keep my feytouch the roots are aoe right? that is 3 debuffed damage targets by 18% and boost for me 18%. I CAN see it good on clerics or guardian fighters since they can survive with blocking or mitigation buffs.
    FROM cw point of view? like we do only encounters in pvp? that is not true. WE cast ray of forst ice knife opressive force. i want all my hits have bonus so vorpal or fey.

    The perma invisibility is yet to be fixed. It's not WAI.

    This chant is still fairly useless on deflect builds. You'll just keep losing your DR. For people with 5% deflect, you'll eventually deflect and become easier to kill.

    It might have some merit on a GF or something and make them even more difficult to avoid as they close in to murder you.

    man tell me this because in preview yesterday i saw this : no dr boost for my wizard at x8 shadowclad.(trans version). on live differs?
    if they dont fix it i am not willing to spend ad to craft it ( i dont want to use bugged enchants with the excuse i spended ad )

    debuff them and make them deal 18% lesser damage each one. the tooltip should say reduce and increase but they chosed to write a complicated one.

    On a GF, this enchant is king. I believe this mod and the devs stopped playing TR and CW and have now crossed over to the GF class. When you run into a Shadowclad/T. Dread touting GF, you will know it, nothing like being dazed for .9 seconds and globaled from nowhere. Ambush has nothing on this but if a person is wearing the Ambush ring with this enchant, just leave the Dom instance.

    Just saying.
    I may not be considered by most the BEST PVP Warlock on the server but, I am the most HATED amongst them.

    in case you are talking about dread enchant that would be logic 75% critseverity + 40% DR debuff at trans...anvil will deal like 1.000.000 :)
    but about shadowclad I can´t imagine it will beat negation if it will work properly and not giving perma invisibility because it only stacks 16% DR at max., has no healing and stamina bonus and your deflect will be like that coming from let´s say 5%:
    5 x 1,1 x 1,1 x 1,1 x 1,1 x 1,1 x 1,1 x 1,1 x 1,1 = 10,7%
    the only problem is permainvisibility, that has to be fixed

    Well, I have experienced what a GF with a T. Dread and T. Shadow can do and it is nasty as hell (On the right GF of course).
    Even with their shield up they are getting procs, even with Creeping death proccing on them they are getting the constant build up of DR and deflect and on top of that, that invis constantly kicks in when it does proc, hardly any damage even with creeping death on them.

    Creeping death, creeping death,Creping death, "Proc", "where did he go?", Bull charge, anvil, dead! (You were hit for 95k bull charge and 120k Anvil).

    I don't know why I am even commenting on this, as I have retired from PvP in the game, since it does nothing but give me a headache and HAMSTER off players when I jump in and kill folks on my Warlock.

    Enjoy this fiasco fellas, I look forward to seeing what the outcomes will be when people start maximizing these enchants.

    atm debuff doesn´t work correctly i read, but I am sure the debuff from dread enchant is much higher than 4% at translevel.
    Sry gomok, but I also retreated from PVP atm with my warlock, since it´s no fun and in case a GF with +75% critseverity is running mad I do not have any interest to get back there unless I slot rank 2 drains + ambushring, wich I denied using til now in DOM.
    I am waiting on that classrework we were told to come since mod 5/6. In case nothing happens I stop playing PVP with warlock, since it´s a "stepfather class" for too long now. I is not very encouraging playing a class that only can survive using broken gear and mechanics.
