Return of Reckoning

This has been suggested many, many times in the past, nice ideas all in vain, highly doubtful anything of this sort will be added.

look at the shadow warrior a broken char, we just need to give him the shadow prowler


bless up

Well, you actually have "Shadowstep" which is more about suicide, usually, but it has some shadow effects when used ^^

Shadowstep seems to take me to where they were at the time of casting, which is not necessarily where they are.

And it deals emotional damage to the caster each time he use it.

Hahahaha : D Emotional Damage critical hit

SW should get entire WE kit

I'm not really sure we even need a camouflage skill, though it sounds cool. I'm actually kind of worried about this coming balance patch for us SWs. I'm just not sure they'll touch on the things we actually need.

I will not be surprised that SW after this balance patch will be better as a melee dps than ranged dps. Thats my "expectations".

For assault, it’d be good to have 4pc Triumphant +WS proc stack with Wrist Slash tactic. Never understood why they don’t.

Converting detaunt into an AOE if a certain tactic is slotted, or perhaps VoN is active, would be useful as well - most mDPS have an AOE detaunt as they need to get into the thick of things.

Making Shadow Step reliable would be good. WL fall behind a moving target as well, but got Charge as gap closer. WEs can reset their pounce to stay close. Most of the time shadow step leaves a gap that puts your out of melee range.

And yes, some “shadow” elements would be nice as well don’t live up to our name.

They are bit more than that. They do their guerilla warfare too, but they do scouting, patrol the borders, raid the dark elf's cities, do assassinations...basically they do whatever they can to hurt and kill all dark elves (preferably, with maximum pain to every dark elf involved). And by all i mean ALL.

This "Vengeance of Nagarythe" isn't just fun ability name you know...Yes, they are more stealthy than WH and WE combined.

y shadow warriors are treat in lore.
giving shadow warrior stealth and tooking away from wh. would create imba stealth ranger. ( witches and shadow warriors both are elfs) and i think wh got stealth because of ather games has rogues humans. wh anyway was inspirated from real person (also solomon kane as fictional still inspirated wh creation and style)
