2.0 - Shade changes make no sense to me

@Blood_Shart

Why are you still here?

Because this is a public forum and people don’t leave just because you disagree with them. Otherwise, what’s the point of discussion on a forum?

This is the excerpt from a bug report about the Shade changes:

@OenKrad

I don’t recall that being mentioned as a reason, and searching doesn’t seem to confirm a designer mentioning that.

There was no official explanation ever provided for the Shade nerfs, so you are correct.

As for OP, there had been places here and there where people complained about the Shade active’s duration. One of the major complaints was indeed in regards to weaves, but there were also complaints about its use elsewhere. I don’t think anyone overwhelmingly wanted it one way or another(on this forum).
