Shade needs to be brought down

The reason being is because the damage increase is applied to the first strike of each weapon

It’s applied to the whole strike as before.

Shade Kerillian was broken during the 1.0.8 beta. The numbers she put out with the Glaive were far too high - this was due to her damage being uncapped against some Bosses and Lords. We wanted to make changes to the damage system in the way we synchronize damage from attacks between players. At the same time, we were making fixes to Shade’s ““Infiltrate”” Career Skill. These two changes inadvertently changed the way caps were being applied to the Shade’s damage output. Another consequences were multiple misunderstandings and mistakes that piled up to a big mess, affecting the Executioner Sword, since it shared some of the same damage templates as the Glaive.

The Shade should now work the same way she did in 1.0.7.

Try it yourself if you don’t believe me or the quote.

Bosses have a cap on how much damage a player can inflict on them in a single instance of damage.

Not anymore. They don’t have damage caps, at least for melee now. They now have multiplier caps:

And while the Glaive - and pretty much every other weapon, completely nukes any regular infantry enemies, when attacking out of stealth - just as in previous versions, they should no longer melt bosses. And specifically Bile Trolls, which were missing damage multiplier caps.
