The last time i used a endurance drain shadow he doesn't drain as much endurance as my new one, there stat difference isn't that much so i ignor the buffed stats for new glads. after all primus is now full with new HoL glads.

he does drain a "huge"... chunk of energy after uncanny dodge, more as it did in the past. please confirm that change!

entangle energy drain after a new round is also more than in the past.

spectral touch is unchanged as it seems.

shadows are stil miles away from draining a trixster, had no chance to test the draining vs lahir and all eastgate trixsters :( only in pit fights and there i could only draing 50% of the energy befor losing.

i didn't build my shadow for energy drain, therefore my strategy is not tweaked for that purpose and im yet losing every fight against "gray wraith" in a draining match. I'm just happy that they are buffed or do better than i remember at least :)

please let me know if im over seeing something trivial or you guys noticed the change too.

For me it looks too difficult to measure "pure" Endurance draining during the round:
-- When an opponents trying to do an attack, he loses a bit of Endurance;
-- When he catch a hit (or even avoids it), he loses Endurance too. // And in this case these losses depends on attacker's weapon weight, as it seems;
// It's true for any specialty and for both of gladiators. But depends also on their styles/activity/etc.
-- When an opponent under Entangle, his Endurance spending is more than usual;
-- When he is trying to remove that effect (at the start of each round), he loses Endurance too (as it seems).

So, i see no method to do a correct calculation for Endurance-draining Shadow.

But in general, i "feel" that the Shadows a bit more "powerful" than earlier.
// Or, to be more correct, they are a little less "helpless". ;)
But my new experience just about Maximus/Primus border. Not the BG. Let's see...

// I have a sad assumption that we are have a general S&M buff now, not the buffs for some skills...
