With Shadow Abigail being toned back, its accessibility should be increased.

When Shadow Abigail was a monster with 80 dps and 30 Planar defense, it made sense that Shadow Abigail was incredibly bothersome to realize the full potential of, requiring significant investment to maintain during extended playthroughs.

However, with the skill being pretty heavily toned back (DPS lowered to 65 & reduced planar defense, albeit not implemented), I personally think its fair to compensate for this somewhat by decreasing how strict the murder buff is to keep shadow Abigail Up.

Either make more powerful mobs give a longer buff (Spiders/Rabbits giving 40s rather than 8), or globally increase the length of the buff (8s -> 15s). Lunar Abigail just got a similar buff, so it would be heavily appreciated.

This is an interesting suggestion. There's basically 0 reason currently to murder those because they don't stack and holding them is a colossal pain. As it currently stands, I can't imagine ever allocating the point for shadow Abigail III. It's not worth the hassle of murder. I didn't think that it was worth the hassle before they nerfed the damage and apparently before they have now nerfed the defense. I super do not think that it is worth the hassle now.

I still hope that the damage scaling with daytime is brought back. Even if it's not 15/25/40 anymore.

At first, the skill felt pretty connected to the base kit. Since it needed nightshade nostrum to perform at its peak. And it actually made nostrum worth using post rifts. But now.. eh.

An idea I heard by Fitzee, was that making a sacrifice near a Sisturn, filled with evil flowers I think? would make it so that the buff lasts for a day, but she takes extra damage.

Could so something similar to that. Another one I have heard is making it so that if you decorate the sisturn with dark tatters, the buff's timer is greatly increased, or the buff is always active (Weapons and armor use repair kits instead of needing to craft them post rifts. So Abby being always in her shadow form post rifts is kinda like that.).

I wouldn't mind the Shadow Abby damage standardization being reverted either. It was an interesting dynamic, and provided greater incentive to avoid Cure-All.
