=Critical Strikes=

Current:

 * 5, 1⁄4, 2 Elite Skill. Removes all enchantments.  Must follow a dual attack. 

Ryuu's Proposal:

 * '''10 1⁄4 20 Elite Skill. Shadow step to target foe, that foe loses enchantments.
 * Assault Enchantments isn't seeing any usage because of the bar compression possible with running Shattering Assault instead, so it is essentially a redundant skill. The new version offers a way to disenchant and shadow step, it is not overpowered because of the reasonably long recharge meaning that you cannot just use it as a way to spam enchantment removal It is yet another elite shadow step with some interesting possibilities. Shattering assault is still left as a viable skill for those who prefer removing enchantments in their chain as a method of bar compression, but Assault Enchantments becomes viable as a method of enchantment removal and bar compression in the form of a shadow step. As much as I hate it, this would also be a viable elite for assassacasters, but they'd have to spec into Critical Strikes to get decent usage from it. ~Ryuu [[Image:User_Ryuu_Desu_Sig.png|18px]][  Talk  |  Meow :3  ] 04:52, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Current:

 * '''5 3⁄4 4 Elite Touch Skill. Deals  damage and inflicts Crippled condition . This skill counts as an off-hand attack.

Boro's Proposal

 * ''' Elite Touch Skill. Deals damage and inflicts crippled condition . This skill counts as an off-hand attack.
 * The short recharge allowed the assassins to use many dual attacks, which gave them significant advantage over other frontline professions. By increasing the recharge time (from 4 seconds to 8) and the crippled time adjusted to make it maintainable, The advantage is removed and condition removal may be more viable.

71.174.22.127's Proposal

 * "Elite Touch Skill. Deals blunt damage and inflicts weakness for  seconds. Counts as an off-hand attack.
 * I don't see the short recharge as a problem. Moebius Strike has half the recharge and is balanced. The problems are the condition, which allows easy knockdown with Trampling Ox, and the armor ignoring damage. Changing the damage to blunt damage means that armor affects it, and the condition has been changed so it doesn't cause quick, easy, skill-less knockdowns every 8 seconds.

Raine's Proposal:

 * See Deadly Arts.

Current:

 * 5 1 10 Elite Hex Spell. (20 seconds.) Causes  damage per second if target foe is Bleeding or Poisoned.
