Master Shadow Timers

yah, so i was having fun in the Zion controlled Mara C on Vector as a
Master Shadow (or Master Coward as someone called it...). and during
the course of my extended stay there, i was able to sit to regen my IS
and when the Timer for the ability was about to expire, I would merely
HJ up and cancel the ability before it expired on it's own and upon
landing, I would immediately cast it again. All in the course of 3 sec.
i would have a fresh timer and no one would be able to realize in time
that i had landed right in the middle of them and be able to target,
and attack me in time to prevent me from going back into the Shadow
form.





Sooooo....

to be fair to everyone, (mainly 'cause there is no telling how many
ccr's were posted because of me and my actions), the cast timer for
Master Shadow should probably lengthened to somewhere close to 5 or 10
seconds...





On another note, decrease the timer for Vanish from 30 min to 1 min or something.

Well, Master Shadow in itself is a very worthless tree, imo.  I say that only because I have that tree on my belt, so I've used it before.

It is great defensively, but it lacks any offense at all.  It's only move is Ghost Strike.  While it does a good bit of damage (400 base), it's not enough to quickly dispose of a target.  Instead you can only rely on it as a last strike to finish someone off.

The only plus to the MS tree is Impart Invisibilty.  Vanish is very handy, but takes too long to recharge. 

Overall, I think the timers are fine as no one can really overwhelm anyone unless they are substantially lower leveled than they are. 

But these are just my thoughts.

using it the right way it can be very defensive if split with the proper trees

 I don't see why, To attack them you have to be stood up and if you do that you loose shadow and die.  If they don't have evade and are looking weak? ok.  They kinda deserved what they get.
