I find Shade Form to be very strong -- it may be because of the players lack of knowledge -- and you don't need Haunting Wave to clear mercenary camps. I do feel that Shade Form is situational and could be swapped out for another defensive talent, Life Drain, or a wave clear/mercenary talent, Unstable Poison.

I dont like shade form. When you're soloing camps.. which is a big strength of Syl, you will stealth and the camp will reset. I find this very annoying
