    Default Pure Offence?

    Word around to Camp fire is that StS is looking at doing away with Elite maps. I can speak for most capped Assassins when I say normal maps are pretty much a walk in the park (which isn't totally a bad thing). Ask yourself, how often do you Pop Shadow Veil, lay a Trap or throw out Medic packs on a normal map? Normal mobs are dead before the skill pays off right? So I ask, without Elite maps why not go pure offensive?

    I'm always in a pure offense mode. haha. I even leave out the armor buff on my smoke bomb.
    They are still going to have elite level bosses and random spawns and I think they said they'll up the health on normal bosses to make the fights last longer so that may be a consideration also. Ur a killer so I assumed u were in constant offense mode also. hehe.

    Not surprised. I hardly see ANY rogues in my party throw a SV down. I think its safe to say that once this change goes into place, it frees it up for an offensive skill.

    I'm thinking TRAPS maybe if you're not a medic packs person. But SS Shot isn't too bad.

    Does that scale with the +dmg you have displayed on you avatar? or is that a fixed number? If its scaled it wouldn't be too bad, but then again you are a bow rogue, so imo I think its better to throw in Traps to entangle them and you can shoot them up.

    This is true, but you know how I play. I don't float on the outside all the time like most bow users, i like to get dirty...lol. Like I said it will be respec city until I find something that works.

    I mostly use the shadow veil for the extra 15% damage on my Aims so I consider it an offensive skill, especially for dropping bombs on bosses.
