ArenaNet:Skill feedback/Assassin/Mark of Instability

Underwood's Discussion

 * Issue:Offers no additional Effect to KD while costing 10E and has a recharge of 20 seconds. Lasts for 1 Dual Attack.
 * Solution:Change to Deadly Arts '(20 seconds.) Causes knock-down whenever you hit target foe with a dual attack. Ends after dual attacks'.

 * Issue
 * Mark of instability is a hex that allows you to show who you are going to spike ages before you did it,it has a powerfull effect but is not used because of the precast on youre target.

As the assassins need a buff (yes a buff not a nerf)to make the more playeble this would already be a very good start.
 * Suggestion
 * Change to skill : Skill.For 8 seconds next time you hit with a dual attack youre target is knocked down.5e/C1/2/R20

 * Issue
 * Calls out the target


 * Suggestion
 * Skill. Must follow a dual attack. Target foe is knocked down. 5, 1/4, 20
 * OR
 * "Elite Hex Spell. Shadow Step to target foe. For seconds, the next time you hit target foe with a dual attack, that foe is knocked down." 5, 1/4, 30

Short duration. If the foe runs, your chain will be broken. 30s recharge also hurts. Has excellent synergy with Black Spider Strike->Twisting Fangs->Falling Lotus Strike->Blades of Steel. 30s recharge spike that kills often=Balanced?

 * Issue
 * Mediocre, screams "remove me! Blind him! Block Stance!"


 * Suggestion
 * Similar to Frvwfr2's idea, make it a skill that must follow a dual attack. However, make it so that instead of just KDing them, cause it to apply a mark(non-hex non-ench non-condition effect) for 5 seconds where the next time the foe swings their weapon (either auto-attack or attack skill), the attack is interrupted and they are KDed.
 * Version 2- same as above, except it would still be a hex and would last for ~10-15 seconds, since it would now be removable. This would allow a sort of sabotage play, where you could be using pressure combos/spike assisting, but still helping with utility by throwing this around.  Not sure on recharge.
