No one can touch you for 180 seconds while draining 25 IS every 5 seconds.

ye seen it in action last night....but how would this be good to use in the new construct...main for the fact the if you get set upon you can activate it and save yourself from an *CENSORED* kicking?
#36300406195 02/14/2008 08:48:18 Re:Master shadow
Basiclly, yeah. There's gonna be two types of people using Master Shadow in there: 1) To annoy and *CENSORED* the *CENSORED* outta you or 2) To just run around and look at the new area, trying to avoid any and all combat.

LOL

think i'll stick to option 2 then lol
#36300406203 02/14/2008 09:04:24 Re:Master shadow
I would pick option 1...
#36300406239 02/14/2008 09:35:55 Re:Master shadow
1. MS drops when using a e.g. a door.
2. MS does not drop when HJing (which is the only ability that defies the "no abilities while MS" rule).
3. MS does not hinder IS regeneration.

Suggestion: Due to point 3 I'd say the vulnerability of MS should be IS regeneration. Everytime a MS is hit, it should drain IS. That would be fair. MS being a tradeoff from HP to IS.

MS kills your Health Regen already though, it'd be unfair for such a high level ability to kill all regeneration.

It shouldn't be on a timer, shouldn't run out, shouldn't cost is and should grant the user admin invisibility.

On a side note i haven't checked, but im fairly certain you can't tap data nodes while in ms.

If you can't open a door, I doubt you can Data Tap with MS on. You can HJ with MS though. =D Figure that *poop* out.

MS is the worse ability in this game.

Why? It kills everything someone else tries to do to you. It'd be fair if it also killed the IS regen.

I hadn't even thought of that. I'll have to check later. It'd be a bit cheeky if people could easily avoid all the FFA to go Datamine. Although people would flock around them just waiting for MS to run out. SMILEY

You cannot use master shadow while data mining, just tested it.
#36300406820 02/15/2008 08:13:54 Re:Master shadow

Powerless, stun, or buffer overflow to stop a Master Shadow from activating that silly ability >_>

Of course they have to land before it is activated ...

Then what would be the point of it, MS the ability to use the high damage abilities of Assassin or to use the versatile (or overpowered) MKT tree to allow you a chance to do high damage and escape. Even then to use it in actual combat is difficult because as stated previously a single stun, powerless ect. will stop the cast and leave you vulnerable, it also can be stopped by damage. The only real effective use of it is move around an area with a lot of reds and not be attacked, and even thats for 3 minutes only. Master Shadow is a tree good for INFILTRATION I've seen only 1 player use it effectively on Vector and that was Krytical.
#36300406973 02/15/2008 13:16:05 Re:Master shadow
MS is just a fancy way to escape, it's no different than if you hyper jumped away after knifing someone, only you can activate it even while having an immobilizing/slowing effect on you.
#36300407183 02/15/2008 17:58:26 Re:Master shadow
I'd say the majority of people will use MS in the new construct to just explore the new area while avoiding the zealous PvPers.
