Opinion: Tumeken's shadow needs a rework is an opinion topic that Gnomonkey covers in 2 videos between 2022-05-18 and 2025-03-24. This article is a stub: his statements are grouped by type, repeated ones merged.
Gnomonkey's opinion
- Gnomonkey finds the Shadow being two-handed a little weird because it makes the Ward drop from Raids 3 much less substantial, effectively only boosting the Sanguinesti staff's DPS; he suggests a one-handed version with a lower multiplier like 2.5 times, though a one-handed five-tick weapon would also be weird.1
- Gnomonkey would have preferred a more interesting effect like draining magic levels from the boss or ramping damage or accuracy over time, though he respects that Jagex may have kept it simple to avoid complexity.2
- Gnomonkey says the Shadow would be an excellent addition and a huge improvement over the Heka, but it still needs to pass a poll to replace the Heka; he hopes the poll is a 50-50 choice between the two instead of a 75-25 yes or no vote, which could fail.2
- Gnomonkey says the Tumeken's shadow is holding the game down and holding Jagex hostage as developers, because anything slower than it is now worse even if it is not a broken staff.3
- Gnomonkey wants Jagex to fix or rebalance the Tumeken's shadow soon, saying it is clearly holding them back, though he accepts that fixing it is a big project.4
- Gnomonkey says shadow has just hit the magic damage cap at Tombs of Amascut, so every new mage damage upgrade will not affect shadow, which he says makes mage gear boring and needs a project rebalance treatment.5
