Shadestepper (spellshade) opinions

So, I am planning to do a Spellshade analysis, to see where the class can be improved and what is done well. So I was busy testing spellshade when I realised that there probably were a lot of people on here with opinions on and experiances with spellshade.

So what do you like/dislike about spellshade? What is done well, what can be improved?

Ps. Is this the right forum? I think so but I'm not sure

 

Go to the Assassin Class Hub thread in the Wynncraft discord; a lot of diehard spellshaders live there, notably HornetFan221 and Wintel_

Likes: a lot of damage, extremely high skill ceiling, fun, safe playstyle if you know what you're doing

Dislikes: heavy reliance on aspects to be good (+marks and +knives. Backstab angle is qol tbh). Forget about playing it if you don't at least have the t1 mythic. And half the things in the game aren't backstabbable.

How to improve: nerf aspects and buff ability tree so it performs the same but relies less on aspects. Make more things backstabbable. Also, give Vanish Shadow Travel by default. Why is this a separate node??

Disclaimer: I am not good at spellshade lol

 

Thanks for the reply, this is very helpfull. I haven't tried the discord yet, didn't know they had a hub for classes.

Tbh, I am also not the greatest in spellshade, but you don't need to be the best to get a feeling for the class. That's more what I'm trying to evaluate.
