Assassins vs Other Meleers
OK, Assassins are meant to be more mobile than other characters, and to my mind they should be better at spiking but only be able to do it so often, and also be more vulnerable. Shadowsteps make sense on an assassin to get you in (and possibly out) quickly and help you gank someone. As a consequence, however, they all have fairly high recharges. They also make sense to an assassin who takes a less powerful spike but is able to switch targets very fast and re-spike, applying pressure and being able to spike down anyone who's already been injured (for example as a finisher in a pressure team). However I don't think banning Shadowsteps on all other characters is fair. They need to be balanced so that they work for Assasins as I just outlined, without being overpowered, and without being abuseable on other characters. Note, though, that non-abuseable does not mean non-useable. 86.27.179.159 13:25, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, if you can find a way to balance it for the other professions, go ahead, make a page for it. Warriors are built around positioning without Shadowsteps which means that, if Shadowsteps work well, this balance is thrown out of the window. This also goes for PBAoE spells such as Shockwave and quite a few other mechanics. I agree with what you say about Assassins themselves, though. Dark Morphon 15:24, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * The community Qqed about sins and shadowstep being broken and Anet BLASTED out of existence... and now ya'll want to swallow your tears and have them bring shadowstepping back?! Anet doesn't get paid enough to care to begin with, so to sit on your butts and ask them do do re-work for free is just LOLOL worthy. It would've been great if Anet implimented this instead of the garbage they now have active, but I'm afraid they've ran out of tissue. It's too late to ask for, and they don't get paid to care. Looks like a lose-lose situation to me! Good idea, though.. I'll give credit where credit is due. I'd personally like to see Anet revert Black Spider Strike, Lotus Strike, remove disable from Caltrops and Mark of Insecurity, bring back all shadow stepping FOR ASSASSINS ONLY [5 or > CS investment; 100% FAILURE OTHERWISE; makes it un(ab)usable by any other professions.. like R/As], etc... --Ulterion 04:19, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
