Shadowed form of the Assassin

[IsmeldaLasomb]

/sigh<BR><BR>Could let the message at this but maybe the dev would not understand.<BR><BR>A stupid vapor pulsating around you, like if you were smelling or something... the effect has no duration nor description.... The effect seems to fade after 10mn.... well i know it is a "fun spell". Only trouble is that is don't see the "fun" part <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><BR> <P>Message Edited by IsmeldaLasombra on <SPAN class=date_text>05-18-2005</SPAN> <SPAN class=time_text>09:17 AM</SPAN></P><p>Message Edited by IsmeldaLasombra on <span class=date_text>05-18-2005</span> <span class=time_text>09:17 AM</span>

hehe yea, think this has to go down as the worst 9g i've every spend ingame. it could really use some work <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>

[Putka]

heh whatever, I like it. Oh, maybe you'd like a brigand's ogre illusion more? Actually, show me one class in the entire game that has a more fun lv50 fluff spell, please.

[Tazzrin]

Is there a stat increase or is it just cool looking shadow effect? Also it only lasts 10 mins? That sucks if true.

[IsmeldaLasomb]

Nothing but the "cool" effect... <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>

[Gyilok]

<P>i would trade my ogre illusion for ANYTHING, dont even know what ogre brigands would do with it</P> <P>a shadowed form might actually look cool compared to that</P>

[scivias]

Believe me, it does not look cool in any way. I wouldn't believe it myself ere I tried it myself, but the people saying it looks dumb were right. You look like that smelly kid from the peanuts. <div></div>

[big da]

Yea i dont think it looks cool at all. I agree with sCmass first time i saw it s effect on me I thought of the character Pigpen in the peanuts comics. Looks like puffs of dirt and bugs .....<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> If it was like a complete cloud of smoke hiding the assassin inside  it might be cool . <div></div>

[ZaranilShadowfie]

dirt and bugs are my favorite things <div></div>

<DIV>Regardless of class, we all expect something somewhat pertinent to our skill.  I don't see how a pulsating dirt cloud represents a 'Shadowed Form'.  We all know they rushed this game out, so maybe they will redesign this in the future.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Until then, just hum the song from Peanuts and run around pretending your Pigpen.  It's actually pretty entertaining that way.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

[SeymoreDra]

<P>I couldn't agree more that this "entertainment spell" is terribly disappointing. I am not one to complain much; I'm actually am one of the few that genuinely appreciate the effort that SOE puts into updating the game in an effort to fix bugs and implement enhancements. I read about my fellow Assassin's disatisfaction with this spell on my way to 50, but frankly I assumed they were whining. Well, we all know what happens when one assumes...</P> <P>Obviously you'll never find a solution that satisfies everyone, but, there are tons of cool effects one can dream up for a level 50 Assassin entertainment spell(a cloaked shadowy man, a black wolf with red eyes, an effect on other players that causes them to clutch there throat and FD backwards, etc.). Seriously though...is he frantically smoking a cigarette or what? </P> <P>If faced with a choice between class balance and level 50 entertainment spells I'm going for balance, however, the black smoke puffs need to go.</P> <P> </P> <P>Seymore Draco</P> <P>50 Assassin, Nerfed, Oggok </P>

[ZaranilShadowfie]

Honestly I didn't care for this spell either until someone in this thread mentioned that it looked like a cloud of dirt and bugs.  It is now my favorite spell <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>

[DementedGerbil]

<DIV>use it on top of vamp illusion, l9ok pretty sick though it would be nice if the cloud wa just there and didnt pulse out, basically a black version of he lvl 20 deflier skill woulkd be sick as [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot], and suit the class very nice</DIV>

[Maldian]

Where do I get this spell? I just hit 50. <div></div>

[Mol]

<DIV>Very dissapointing skill, if like me you expected a decent change to our form (maybe similar to the defiler smoke effect or even changing into a high lvl necro pet) you will be terribly dissapointed, all we get is a tiny black aura (its very hard to see) which in reality does look like you let one rip.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Dont buy this, its a waste.</DIV>

<P>He he.....</P> <P> </P> <P>Nibbles is a cool name.</P> <P> </P> <P>Sorry, not much else to say in this one since I don't have it and from the looks of it probably won't want it...just thought that was a cool name for a rat <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P> </P>

[jordaann]

[Mattissi]

<P>Finally hit 50 last night so I HAVE to !BUMP! this - activating this funny fun spell is a serious attempt to cause epileptic seizures !</P> <P>The frequency the cloud puffs gives me a headache, I would like to see the acting similar to the defiler lvl20 funspell - only black and showing the character inside.</P>

[Tealdea]

I think black tentical-like shadow arms would be much better and way cooler than the lil "puff of smoke" look it presently has lol. Think, long slim black shadowy tenticals moving about, surrounding the assassin, moving about acting differently pending on if you have someone targeted (maybe they could face that character, almost tempted to strike him or something) but hey... I have too big of an imagination sometimes =P <div></div>

[dea]

It might have been fun to take on the same form as the Necromancer summoned Shadowy Stalker pet. <div></div>

[Skratttt]

I was thinking a cool fluff spell for an assasin would be instead if you remember the assasins in Luclin (the whole black cloak)  you know just a floating black hooded cloak, maybe with some distortion effect (to the effect of being shadowed <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> ...that would kick [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot] )

[Maldian]

I have found that this USELESS spell HINDERS the ability to focus on target. I have to go to 3rd person view to watch myself fight due to the fact that when it is used.... I can't see a thing because of the smoke effect. This spell should be called Shadowed Form of the Blind Assassin.
