new assassin CA's - Page 2

Correct, No %age based spells are being upgraded.

MD is not being upgraded, for the simple reason that it, as a %age based skill, increases in absolute effectiveness as your dps goes up. Admittedly it will make MD even harder to get a hold of when the cap is 80, but we can't see a percentile increase in the effectiveness of MD because that would overpower it.

Decap? Meh, it will still probably be our largest CA by a considerable margin.

I read fine boy.

I know what he already said, still don't change my comment. I would like MD to have been upgraded so I could have the Master..oh well

and Decap is not a percent base spell....I guess the fact that its not being upgraded leaked out of beta.

Actually, it was indicated that the lvl 50/70 class special spells weren't going to be upgraded long before Beta started.

Why wouldn't deadly focus be upg'ed? Its not percentage based its our 67 temp buff... Following the new 10lvl upg system it will get an upg.

Deadly focus is essentially a percent based spell as the DPS portion used to be a percent and still is but they just use a different naming system due to diminishing returns.

Assassinate was not upgraded until level 70, Decap wont be upgraded until 90, unless they choose to not raise the level cap after 80 somewhere down the line. As it stands they already stated that the specials that follow a 20lvl progression will not be upgraded a long time ago.

I don't recall a quote on that but things can always change you know...

Word on the street is said new spell does more damage based on how many stealth attacks we've used in the last X seconds.

Sounds hot to me.

maybe concelment is being upgraded or an added effect being thrown in... in teh amount of time concealment is active the more stealth attacks landed a %based amount of damage is done to the mob when concelment ends... probably not it... but would be pretty cool

agil end ability + repeated stabbing ftw?
