I know Shadowdancers are or have been talked about getting some alterations. I have a suggestion:

Shadow Evade, could use some love, I think.

Even with 20 SD levels, it gives 20% concealment and +4 AC for 2 minutes, with only 3 uses per day. That's a HUGE investment for a fairly minor boon in the grand scheme. Most SD's go 6, and I think at level 6, it's balanced, 36 seconds, 3 times per day, 10% concealment and 2 AC.

My suggestion, since it takes more devotion to the class to reach level 10 and higher in SD is to make either more uses per day or... perhaps extend it to turns per SD level? At that rate, yes, that 20 SD has 60 minutes, and a level 10 SD 30 minutes of 20% concealment and 4 AC available to them, but, it does give a REASON to go past 6 SD levels aside from good ole roleplay and higher DC shadow daze.

I'm no expert, just something I thought of.

Also, I read somewhere that Shadow Evade stacks with itself? I tested this, and no, I don't believe it does. Either whomever said it may have been mistaken or it's been changed maybe?

Anyway. There you have it.

i agree with you. i'd like to see more benefits for actually going >6 in the class. sharp cooldown reductions or perhaps making the DR equal to imp invis or something would be slick once you're an 'epic' sd.

Sure. I say have at it. I enjoy adding purpose to class beyond ____ level.

Levelcaps at which classes stopped being useful or even improving noticeably always triggered me.

High level SD sure isn't useless. It's got a really high shadow daze DC (36-42?), and a pretty cool summon (lowish ab? but good drain dc. think it's 40+?). Though I agree it could definitely use a little buff overall.

I refuse to give an Epic Dodge class more longer lasting stacking sources of dodge AC and concealment.

good counterpoint i forgot about that >_>

Shadow Evade.... a suggestion.
