This is my take on Shadow Form. With this the assassin would...

  • still be able to maintain the skill via Deadly Paradox (though not with Glyph of Swiftness as Shadow Form would be a Form, not a spell)
  • still be vulnerable to most hostile skills
  • still have viable tanking/running options
  • rely on alternate healing (as Shadow Refuge would cause the Form to end)

This would make Shadow Form a kind of mix of Avatars of Melandru and Balthazar Forms, and offset the ability to maintian the skill by limiting damage output (which can almost be overcome in PVE with use of Asuran Scan).


Elite Form. For 5...18...21 seconds, you are immune to all conditions, take 66% less damage, and move 25% faster. You deal 66% less damage. Ends if you cast an Enchantment.

Another suggestion is to make the percentage of damage variable based on the points applied to Shadow Arts.

Elite Form. For 5...18...21 seconds, you are immune to all conditions, take 0...60...75% less damage, and move 25% faster. You deal 0...60...75% less damage. Ends if you cast an Enchantment.

This is probably too tanky for PVP, I suggest this change for a PVP version of Shadow Form.

Elite Form. For 5...18...21 seconds, Hexes and Conditions on you expire 0...40...50% faster, you take 0...26...33% less damage, and move 25% faster. You deal 0...26...33% less damage. Ends if you cast an Enchantment or use a Stance.
