lv 32 Assassin, came back from a long break, very confused???

[Diabler]

<div></div>Well I just got back from a long break and boy am I confused.   I logged into the game and to my surprise I found quite a few things that were different. 1.  There were a bunch of new attacks/spells that were popping up on my hotbars.  I spent a good amount of time trying to figure out what they were and if they belonged to a line of attacks/spells. 2.  I had to pick my trait thingies all over again and there were some that I really liked that were not available for me anymore.  3.  There seems to be a few attacks/spells that I thought I had before that I no longer have now that I at least had the oportunity to get before.  Like our stealths.  Didn't we have a lot more?  I only see the two, one is a lv 22 and can be used for combat, the other is something like 17 and can't be used for combat.   Wasnt there a few different lines of stealths and few upgrades and what happened to Harkin's stalking???  I think that was the one that I used because it was the better of them all. 4.  I was kicked out of my guild even though I posted on their forums that I wouldnt be playing until somtime in october (this has nothing to do with me being an assassin but I am just [Removed for Content] becuase it should have been ok since I posted about it and if you post it the clan wasnt supposed to kick you and omg a;lsjfalsdjfalsf;alasdf;lj) Ok well I feel a little bit better now.  Anyhow if someone can help me get unconfused then I would be happy, thanks for reading. Also I would like to know if I should download the DoF or buy it.  What would be better? <div></div><p>Message Edited by Diablerie on <span class=date_text>09-30-2005</span> <span class=time_text>11:33 PM</span>

<P>welcome to the combat revamp which is why you are experiencing 1,2 ,3. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  For number one some arts got upgrades other things filled in gaps.  For number 2 everyone had this happen which is a good thing since quite a few classes choices they made at 10 or 20 affected them at 50 which wasn't right.  So current skills as the trait choices work better.  For number 3 you should have just lost the one level 31 stealth but hunt and slip away are still there to use otherwise nothing else disappeared except the traits changed.</P> <P> </P>

<P>Wow - you were kicked even though you said you'd be gone for awhile? :smileymad:  Think I was gone for what seemed like "forever" and most of the guildies were "Hey - great to see ya!".... :smileyhappy:  Maybe your old guild has certain requirements??? [I know some require you to run a few writs per week else you get booted....]</P> <P>I was in a similar boat [downtime for RL stuff] - tons of new/updated spells/features which take a bit to get re-use to.   It's too bad they took out Harkin's Stalking - use to love to run around at full speed under the cover.</P>
