Suggestion Thief's and Ranger's new skill

[Sigpit]

Smoke can be used at any time, the fact that it muse be used in a low light level weakens the skill. At night you would not be able to use it (The light level at day and night is the same, Im not 100% sure though), and in well lite areas you would not be able to use it. There is only place I can think of this skill being useful is in an Undercity or Caves. This makes the skill a nerfed version of Smoke that gives them a small advantage, but not like a ninja.

smoke made ninjas unique and I wouldn't use backflip in combat much since it kills stamina pretty fast.

I will try to think of a skill for ninja then

 

[RagingDragon5]

What do you think they are lacking?

What do you think they are lacking?

They got a huge stamina cost, cd and its short IMO

Ninjas lack the stealth they need. They're the stealthiest class, but they still aren't stealthy. Even Smoke gives a message on use... to everyone around you. I suggest (as many others have before) the addition of a passive skill Muffle. Muffle would mask all skill messages (as well as your kills(assassination!)). It would have a certain percentage to fail, and this percentage would decrease every level until the likelihood of failure was nearly nonexistent.

The light levels at day and night are different.

Muffle = Cool
Shroud = Cool, but hard to code
Ranger being invisible when not moving = Cool

I wouldn't mind having more 'invisible' when not moving stuff for rogue specs - would be nifty.

I would love to see that implemented.

Yeah, I like the idea that Ninjas would have a much less limited ability to sneak. Possibly make Smoke last 15 seconds to give it an added advantage over the other Rogue ability.

Calling it SkillShroud for the current purpose. Shroud would give a lot more utility to Rogues, I really like that idea. We've got to remember to keep Smoke unique though.

@unknownloner - whip up a camo skill. When used the player is invis to others - when they move, attack, or use a skill - they become visible.
I'm not entirely sure if we can check when a player moves without using an onMovement check (in that case don't include move)

 

[Aetosion]

Just make it a root spell that lasts for a minute or two on the caster, broken by the same factors, an doesn't show up in chat when cast.

Holy shit... this is going to make me insanely paranoid.

Something to note, if thief and ranger get "Shroud", Ninja should get it as well (else Ninja will become least stealthy of the rogue classes).

 

[Hydroking77]

Ninja has smoke.
And finally my idea is being added

My idea as well

Guys think about ninja with that skill aswell, epic combo.
Cast smoke, move to target area, whip up the camo skill -> wait for the perfect moment to strike <3

In regards to the skill suggestions, both skills sounds good/cool and I would love to see them implemented.

 

[RagingDragon5]

Ninja with camo skill doesn't really go together

 

[PernixPike]

@Kainzo, will this be added next patch?

 

[unknownloner]

I'll see what i can do
