The Greatest Issue affecting level 50+ Assassins

[CyriexVTZ]

After much careful consideration, personal experiance, and rigerous testing, I can conclusivly say that, compared to all of the other valid outstanding Assassin issues, the one which has to be resolved in the upmost priority by SOE is none other than <b>Shadowed Form of the Assassin </b> This, our 'fun' spell at 50, is conclusive proof that SOE believe that the young child 'Pig Pen' from peanuts is infact the greatest 'assassin' of all time. While this may be true, I believe the deadly 'Aura of the unwashed' should remain a skill reserved purely for the almighty Pig Pen, and that we, mere mortal assassins, are instead taught a far more pleasing way of swathing ourselves in shadows. I am finding that the shadows of the thousands of flies surrounding me do not provide the sort of concealment I would desire at my senior rank of training... .... In all seriousness, the art on this, in my opinion, is horrendous. I see what SOE are trying to do, I like what they're trying to do, but the 'pulsing' makes it look far more like my assassin has a hygine problem than the 'surgeon of the battlefield' he is in every other respect. Perhaps it could be changed so the effect didn't 'pulse' but was more persistant (like the blue flame effect I've seen on some other class I cant remember) , or, and this would be incredibly cool, some form of 'distortion' effect, like you get with the new Mystical Mirrors from DoF. Please SoE take the time to fix it, while it may have no affect at all on any combat mechanics, its one small, simple change you can make, without any concerns about balance, and make every assassin a happy(er) gamer in the process Many Thanks <div></div>

I think you might be thinking of Defiler's... I've seen them running arround on fire nice lil visuals like that lol. But uh... Let's think for a second here in the real world. I'd like Shadowed for of the Assassin to be changed to something more enjoyable aswell, but it's a fun spell, and I don't think any of the dev's play assn's... so it's probably the last spell on any list created to be fixed for this game. So you, the more important stuff like sharper text and better looking crisp game windows will be fixed first and skill last... you know, only the best of the best skills and whatever first..... /autosarcasm off <div></div>

while your detracting from actual important issues, like the state of assassins dps being sucky, why dont you ask for flight, or a spell that makes us look like a big purple dinosaur, or something else to take the devs attention away from important issues... <div></div>

If you've seen a necromancer's shadowy assassin, I think it would be sweet if it made us look like that...just a solid black form

[CyriexVTZ]

Definately! That would be fun, very fun indead, and suits the name of the skill very well. Please SOE, if you're reading this, please can we have something like that?! <div></div>

<P>Well people have been complaining about that stupid PEANUTS look since the 1st assassin's hit level 50 world wide.  Wouldnt be too hard to make it so when cast it casts an illusion that turned us into the shadowy stalker necro pet or something...</P> <P> </P> <P>Throw us a bone SOE and quick fix that fluff spell for us while you work on all the issues that still remain with the assassin class..</P> <P> </P> <P>Chop chop.. GET IT DONE.  (Please?)</P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P>P.S. Lay off Cyriex and don't hijack the thread or I'll ASSASSINATE YOUR !#%^!^@^ (That is if my 15 minute timer is up)</P> <P> </P> <P> </P>
