@MachineGunViperWheels He's fighting a special subclass of assassin to begin with, the "it deals so much damage" should not be a thing against something that is supposed to
assassin things, otherwise he'd be fighting against a squishy warrior. If we're going to talk about the damage on itself, I agree that a shadow would deal less physical damage, but it'd complement it with magical one. And I'm not going to the statement of knowing everything about everything, but that after years of playing you have to expect stuff to deal a lot of damage, more so from an
assassin specialized in that stuff.
