Our master strike is now POSITIONAL? [Removed for Content]

[Birkenstocky]

<DIV>I am looking at our new master strike aka sinister strike - am I missing something why is our attack now positional aka flanking or rear when everyone else's is frontal?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I don't recall my old ones being that way - and if we have to be positional then we should have a huge bonus in damage which when talking with other folks I am not seeing that we have.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If this was posted elsewhere I am sorry to duplicate but I am a bit hot under the collar about losing a possible frontal attack I used to have.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>(counts to 10 in case I am being a blonde)</DIV>

scout master strike has been positional (rear & flank) for over a yr now. it used to be from any direction, but they changed it a LONG time ago. i dont know exactly when they changed it.<div></div>

<P>thanks for response I confirmed it in channels I guess I was being a blonde <wink></P> <P> </P>

at least it's also flanking..

Maybe I misread, but didn't it used to be just rear? I actually like the new Mastery system, now I just gotta wait for them to toss in the other races and all will be good in the world. As of now I have like 2 masters of the current L&L to complete so I can't complain any about the new way of doing things.<div></div>

Used to have to be in stealth to use it too<div></div>

As stated it was positional and required stealth. I haven't tested it since update, but previously I had to be behind the mob and stealthed.<BR><BR>

The sinister strike was vastly improved with LU31.  It use to debuff the mob's crushing (yay?).  Now it debuffs the mobs physical mit.  At least it is something we can benefit from without carrying a spoon with us.<div></div>

i cant remember a time when the master strikes were ever stealth required. dont really remember before lu13 but dof and kos deffinately were not stealth required. droag strike for farming names in sos was very useful.

[Jayad]

<DIV>It wasn't stealth-required and always allowed from flanking position.  I can't remember before LU13 tho.</DIV>

[HazNpho]

Actually yeah, come to think of it, it was Pre LU13, I remember that now that I think back before I left the game.<div></div>
