I know that it was kind of OP before and nerfing is the right option, but now its just terrible For max level you need 42 support and 290 mana so that you can have a 28% damage reduction for 3 turns, thats way too underwhelming I've never even seen anyone put points in this skill, and unless I'm missing some lvl 40 BH/CH meta where people think this is OP, then theres no reason that this skill even exist
Maybe it should be reworked or replaced like deadly aim. I'm not sure with what but anything is better than this honestly
Care to share your thoughts?

i agree, i genuinely don't think i have ever seen anyone use shadow arts, it is by far the most pointless skill in the game. even less used than adrenaline rush :P

I use Shadow Arts with my Spam Dex build or my Dex-5 Focus build. I'll have to admit, I kind of like it.
However, it's NOT on par with other skills. I just make use of having it around lvl 4-5 as a back up in case I face a serious strength abuser.
Even so, it's one of the most useless skills in the game that needs a buff in terms of damage intake decreased.
EDIT: It's energy cost is also too high for how useless it is.

I would say just increase its duration to 4. I'm currently using a 1500 HP 100-min. defense glass cannon CH, and even with a level 8-9 shadow arts it only blocks 100 damage from physical attacks that would deal almost 450 damage. A level 1 defense matrix blocks almost double this given a moderate amount of support.

I agree with you Gepard, I really think it's useless. I love Bounty Hunter - I think I'll nevermore change class - and as I said before I really think it's useless, I tried to use this but, it's better to don't use, it is a waste of energy and time only, and it don't change anything useful, if you are going to lose you will lose and it will not help. It's better to replace it.
