Question on Shrouded strike

[unundindur]

<DIV>I have problems understanding how the Shrouded strike works... I got it yesterday and I never seem to get cloaked, as the text tells.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The way I assume it should work is as follows: I use Shadow blade, is revealed, use Shrouded strike, is again hidden and can act as hidden (retreat, use Cut throat) etc.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Please tell me what I have missed.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thank you very much.</DIV>

<DIV>You have to turn off your melee attack while Shrouded Strike is charging up. The reason you never cloak (or it seems that way), is because the moment your SS lands and you cloak, you immediately nail the target with your auto attack, breaking stealth almost instantly.</DIV>

I start out most combat in group with the following:HuntAssasin's BladeShrouded Strike immediatly followed with the "~" buttonAfter Shrouded Strike hits I am no longer in attack mode.Then I hit with another stealthed move.Because we hit so fast with duel wield it is necessary, as the above poster mentioned, to remove auto attack. I do not consider Shrouded Strike by itself a move, it is the combination of Shrouded Strike plus the "~" key. Unless of course you have changed your auto attack default button.Does take some getting used to but with a decent group you should have enough time to play around with it.

<DIV>I actually got to test this out in a group the last couple of days...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>With Stalk, I would cancel attack before activating it.  It doesn't put you back in attack mode.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Shrouded Strike, however, you have to key off and then cancel attack.  If you do it the other way, SS puts you back into attack mode.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Saved me a world of confusion.</DIV>
