Just got Assassin's Blade, keep shadowblade ?

[T]

<DIV>I just got Assassin's Blade and noticed it does a considerable amount of damage more then Shadowblade, should I even keep shadowblade anymore or is Assassins Blade the replacement for it ? It will not change around as it gets closer to the master levels of the 2 will it ? </DIV> <DIV>Thanks ahead for the info <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

<DIV>assassin's blade is a different line with a  5 min refresh.  Ebon blade which you get at 60% through 24 is the replacement to shadow blade.</DIV>

Aye, that answers a question of mine, Assasssins Blade and Ebon Blade go Adept 3 then I think.

<DIV>What is the refresh timer for Ebon Blade?  I thought it was 5 minutes as well.</DIV>

[DreamerClou]

<DIV>The link here shows that the timer of Ebon Blade is also 5 minutes.  <A href="http://www.thescoutssanctuary.com/assassin.php" target=_blank>http://www.thescoutssanctuary.com/assassin.php</A></DIV> <DIV>That's a bummer that the "replacement" to shadow blade has its timer bumped up to 5 mins.</DIV>

<DIV>So far I haven't found any of our abilities to be on the same timer.  So, as long as SB still does more damage than Poisoner's Blade, there's no reason not to just keep it on your bar and use it every minute or so.  </DIV>

Ebon Blade is on a 60 second timer just like Shadow Blade. That list scared me at first until I actually got the skill. Both Shadow Blade and Ebon Blade use the same timer, so you can't use both at the same time. Ebon Blade is very nice, and a good upgrade so shadow blade. Assassins Blade is also very nice for a heavy hit, but it suffers from a long recharge.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>For me Ebon Blade at 25 does anywhere from 200ish to 400. Really depends on if the mob resists piece or not or how strong it is. Assassins Blade does 400-800 for me, same rules apply.</DIV>

<DIV>Thanks Feena, I'm glad to hear that the refresh timer for Ebon Blade is wrong on that list.  Ebon Blade is definetly the upgrade for shadow blade! <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

<DIV>Dirty tricks and Vex are also on the same timer.</DIV>

<DIV>At what point in level 24 do you aquire Ebon blade?</DIV>

[Fee]

<DIV>60% into the level.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>For referance, follow this rule:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>On each item is a "required" amount to use the item, this applys to everything (armor, weapons, Adept books). Take that number and divide it by 5 and you get the level needed to use that item (or what level you get that skill). So Assassins Blade Adept 1 book would say required skill 120, which is level 24.  Ebon blade would say 123, which is 24.6</DIV>

Ebon blade is replacement for shadow blade.Vex is replacement for dirty kick.These 2 skills are only one so far who share timer with each other. I would recoment to remove shaowblade from quickbar and replace it with ebon blade, cept if you fight with more assassins in group. Problem is effect of skills are not stackable. Shadow blade is damage only and will always work, ebon blade got additional damage-type debuff, so if one assassin in group use it, the otehr one cannot use it :/Same with Poisoner's blade, bleed, vex, cut throat.
