Skill Proposal - Thief

[HollowSith]

I am very excited to start my spec soon and become a thief. Upon reading the skills on the wiki I came up with a rather nice idea. A small suggestion for a new skill.

Thieves have very low armor and as such have no choice but to either avoid being attacked by fleeing or being sneakily offensive. What about a skill that can accommodate to both? I was thinking of something like this; Thieves will often attack/ pillage during the night and when they can't be seen. This occurs in real life and in video games, movies ect.-ect. Why not make a skill where when once they get below a certain lighting level via night, being in shadows, knocking out torches on unsuspecting victims in a mine ect. That they have the ability to render them selves invisible for 10 second. Then can be knocked back into being visibility by running out of time, opening at a chest, getting hurt or hurting someone else.

The skill could be something like:

Skill: Shade
Level: 30
MP: 20
Cool down: 2 minutes
Reagents: Low Lighting
Effect: Renders user invisible for a period of 10 seconds.

Anyway this is just a thought. Something i would really really love to see.

Your ideas and thoughts?

Very interesting idea, I wonder if they have a way to detect light level when trying to activate a skill. Either way this has my vote for it

 

[HollowSith]

Hmm, I wonder. Thanks for the support! I really hope this idea is well liked and put into a new patch. It would be so much fun for raids and pvp.

If there were an easy way to accomplish this, I'm sure we'd be doing it, sk89q actually had a method to have 'light sensitive areas' but he did not release the source.

So something like this is doable? If some how source was found or created?

That would be cool, pretty much like smoke, I think it needs to be the same, or close to the same since it requires low lighting/darkness, MP cost and CD of smoke too, or it will make smoke a lot worse. Would make them more thief like.

Going invis for 10 seconds for 20 mana is a bit cheap.

Also, if it were possible, make it so they have to remain in the shadows to stay invis. If they hit light, then they become visible again.

That's what I was thinking.​
