Re: LU #36 Changes
I was wondering that too. I've never actually specced wis before, but... two major questions about it would be this...:
The final - would it be basically a stun because it forces mobs to lose target? if so, decent in solo, worthless on raids except for the detaunt because they're not going to let you do any control effects to an epic.
The 4th one... if I'm not mistaken, that should reduce your stealth to 5 second recast and one second casting.... the main question would be is it worth to waste a second stealthing to get an 8% bonus to your next art? At 5 second recast, it'll be up pretty much in time for all your big hits, hell you could even use it for your small ones... But 8% increase doesn't make up (on Puncture Blade) for the loss of using Masked Attack, as Masked is up to a 100% increase (max on masked, min on puncture).
Hell, if you think about it logically, its almost completely pointless. Masked attack reads 562-937. For a skill to get a 562 increase with it being 8% more... it would need to be hitting for 7000. Before debuffs, that's the high end of killing blade. For it to get 937 as 8%, it would need to be hitting for 12,000 - about where killing blade crits for on a fully debuffed mob, but then you'd have to factor in the fact that Masked would hit for more. Hell, even looking at decap m1 at over 600 resting strength, it reads 9258-15430. It'd have to be high end of Decapitate to be worth more than hitting masked attack before it.
Yes I know masked attack has a recast - this is purely for comparision purposes.
