It pretty much doubles your hexes as it just procs in the background. It scales with magic damage and I definitely recommend it for tali users. It was broken a few months back, but was working last I tested it. Just do a parse and see how many hexes happen per minute. It's around 6 without, and 11-12 with 5 points. Each point adds an extra hex per minute I believe.
So its actually viable now?
If you're gonna stick 5 points in Talisman Mastery, it's an utter waste not to put atleast 1 point in shadowed blade.
That is all.
Thx TeamVernia, i will try to reproduce your results.
edit: just tested for me it was an increase of 4proccs/min with 5points
it also scales with mgc dmg as you said but SO badly... (+ ~600magic dmg resulted in + ~40dmg per hex, with overall 10procs its ~400dmg in 60sec, so at best 7dps ^^)
Have you tried testing with your best crit rating gear on too? I'd be curious to know how much VoM buffs affect it. Also I swear it's at least 5 extra procs. At least it was on the Thoth fights I looked at back when. 5 points for 4 procs sounds off unless it's broken in some way.Quote:

just to clarify: this test was without casting hex, therefore any proc was per default by shadow blade, over 2min 30sec fight i had exactly 10 procs (with 5points)
ofcourse better gear will improve the dmg output but thats not point as it does increase the dmg output of any other ability too.
btw i agree with the usefullness of the feat, still it could be a bit better ;)
I suppose it's a random thing then. You might get more procs 1 min over the next, and yes it could use some tweaking I guess, though the VoM situation needs to be fixed first. So... never?Quote:

5procs/min could be possible with a bit more luck^^
