Question on Use of Shadowshot

[Ophena]

<DIV>Hi, new assassin here...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Can anyone give me some help with the tactics and techniques for using shadowshot? I have tried to use it and I am positioned behind the mob, but it is greyed out -unavailable. What am I doing wrong?</DIV>

<P>if it says behind, it means directly behind</P> <P>and of course using a ranged weapon lol   ' )</P>

Do you have a ranged weapon + ammunition? Only thing I can think of besides positioning.<div></div>

[Ophena]

<DIV>Yep, I've got a weapon in the ranged slot and lots of ammo. I guess I just need some suggestions on the tactics you all use to get behind the mob. Seems very difficult when they automatically turn to whatever direction you go....</DIV>

<DIV>To me shadowshot is more of an opening. I get at max range stealthed behind a mob (don't have to be though), then use shadowshot and follow it up by the double-shot attack. Usually, with poisons, this will bring a mob into the yellow, or low green. From there I use our frontal attacks, stun, the hit to bring me into stealth and then use on of my attacks from stealth.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Afterwards I follow up by trying to stealth and get a hit off or using the frontal attacks as they recycle till mob is dead.</DIV>
