I plan to be bustin' my butt over it for quite sometime after putting it off for so long. Quitting WoW has increased my productivity, lol! Thanks!

Only wanted to see if I can even get it on there. Okay, after fiddling around with it, I was able to upload it onto your site, though I can’t delete it

I need to take it down somehow so I can actually finish it. Only wanted to see if I can even get it on there.

There's so much stuff that can be fixed and improved upon UNLESS I am viewing an old file that wasn't remodeled. If anything, I'm actually creating a shadow class of my own (ironically it's the same name as this one, cept it's called Shadowmancer) I can't seem to upload it on your site either. Unsure as to why o.O I retrained Forums Tact for the Big Jerk feat :P I apologize for the harshness, but really this class makes me drop to my knees and go, “WHHYYYYYYY?!” There’s so much stuff that can be fixed and improved upon UNLESS I am viewing an old file that wasn’t remodeled.

Problems -For a striker, it deals some incredibly pathetic damage. No striker worth their salt is going to play this. -Powers are all kinds of messed up. You have magic spells that...deal weapon damage?? wtf. Not only that, but some of the spells target AC, yet their implement attacks. Also, what's with the incredibly few Int vs whatever powers when the vast majority of them are Charisma? Just keep it all charisma. The features are weak as hell and you have no real damage mechanic like Sneak Attack or Warlock's Curse. It's not even properly baked into the powers. Just kinda threw them a bunch of dice for powers that have weak effects. Overall: This feels like an incredibly poor and incredibly rushed class that I won't touch with a 30 foot pole. The good thing you did though was naming the powers pretty well. what a terrible class…it’s so poorly thrown together…
