I just noticed something very peculiar barely 30 minutes ago about Assassin's Mark. At first I thought the <i>agonizing strike</i> icon (<b>not</b> the 1-1/2min assn mark buff icon, but the one that appears when it procs) in maintained window was changed from the <font color="#6666ff">bluish blade <font color="#ffffff">in</font> grey/black <font color="#ffffff">background</font> <font color="#ffffff">to the <font color="#ff0033">assassin blade icon <font color="#ffffff">in <font color="#ff0033">red</font> background, same as the hotbar icon.</font></font> I saw it counting down from 10secs as usual. The next thing I know, that icon was gone and the old greyblack one pops out, also counting 10secs. Another time i used it, the red version popped up for less than a split second before being replaced by the greyblack one. Yet another time, the red one just popped up and count down to 0, but when I checked my combat data, there was no damage entry at all on agonizing strike for that period. (in other words, it didnt actually activate successfully) So I decided to examine the skill again and I don't remember it being described like this : * Casts Agonizing Strike on target. When target is struck this spell has 2% chance to: -- * Cast Agonizing Strike on attacker. On successful attack this spell will: ---- * Inflict 209-349 damage on target ---- * Decrease health of target by 249-415 every 4 seconds. <span>:smileyindifferent: uh... ? Initially I read it as - assn mark casts agstrike on target yeah, but when i hit a lucky 2% , i get to cast ag strike again? but on me? and when i attack again sucessfully THEN I get to do the mark damage specified? One can actually not have it fire the damage even if one got it to proc... is that what it means? It doesn't make sense. I really do not understand why there is this extra, and totally unnecessary step added to the spell out of the blue. </span> </font></font><div></div>
