Even though it wasn't stated, the balance patch did change our skill assassinate damage from 12 sec to 8 sec(yay!). My assassinate level is 23, and it says: "Attack:106%, for 8 secs, Critical Damage:215%, Instant Kill Chance : 76%" The instant kill chance is new to me. I was excited seeing that thinking we can kill high hp monsters easily. But I tested it and I couldn't get it to activate. I'm guessing it's a typo for the % stun rate. Or was the stun rate always stated like that? Your thoughts?

I'm fairly certain that's just the Critical Rate. The chance the critical damage activates for the 4th strike. I could be wrong, I haven't logged on for a while, or looked over my skills at least. Nice to see that It's down to 8 seconds. Is Dark Sight's delay lowered? That was part of the KMS part 1 "Return of the Advent.'s" event.

[quote] xdarkshynobi : barely any monster can take the assult of max assassinate [/quote] Yup, about 300~400k in 3 hits + 199k for 4th critical hit, making for nearly 600k. >:E Well, Pianus can tank it. It's technically a spawn mob. o3o Technically... I wonder if MushDaddy can...

(but I lag) I agree on your Critical theory. I used a fair share of Assassinates today on ToT monsters and didn't OHKO a single one. It's got to be a mistype.

Nonetheless, an awesome patch for Shadowers. Jump BStep is as easy as pie, steal + venom stab is pretty fun, BoT is increased, and I heal 110 HP and 44MP while standing still. Whoo!~

Well, if assassinate got buffed then the dark sight delay might be a glitch/mistake. I hope so anyways, I was really looking forward to no delay

I think assassinate and darksight are in the next part of the balance patch.

dark sight has no delay coming out and going in still has a delay but it less than any delay ever [cept SS] it does feel like it was lowered but could just be me

It's the critical hit chance. I don't know why people think Assassinate or Dark Sight haven't been improved, they have. The only changes I don't like which they didn't mention are... Taunt now does the damage of a regular attack, rather than around a third of it. Doublestab is no longer a forced stab animation.

[quote] SunsetChaos : So you can't use Bstep in midair? [/quote] I can, but before it required you to push both buttons at the same time, they just made it ub3r easier now that you can use it in mid-air. (Meaning that I can fall off a high platform and Bstep monsters as I fall to the bottom, i.e. skele map)
