I think Shadow Maul could use a buff

[Frosty_Mentos]

And it's a buff for being max stacked to have higher damage or at least higher damage against bosses. It has a specific way to get stronger and in a way it should be very powerful. I have been using it for quite a while and it's a pretty decent weapon. I have been playing while using it as Maxwell, but it feels not too different from darkswords imo. If not Planar then normal damage increase to be much higher to deal with normal mobs or bosses or just both to be dispatched quicker.
