Ghost Strike is a pretty interesting spy ability.  It's the only one, to my knowledge, that you can attack with....and stay invisible.  Sometimes you don't...and sometimes you just show up transluscent for a little bit...but many times you can continue to attack with it (as long as you have IS left) and stay invisible.  Particularily annoying for foes during PvP fighting as they may not be able to tell where you are as you're delivering damage to them hidden.

 

Smoke Bomb is a decent escpae move along the lines of its complimentary ability....Vanish.  Except that this one has an AoE effect to it by blinding all of your opponents in an small radius around you.  I haven't used it that much myself.  The only thing that I can't seem to find any info on (I'm not in game right now) is it's "reuse timer".  Vanish has a LONG reuse timer (like 5-6 minutes I think).  I have a feeling Smoke Bomb may also have a long reuse timer on it...

The shadow tree is not bad, if the bugs wouldnt be there :smileymad:



GhostStrike has an ReUse Timer of 10secĀ“s, when you use it in pvp as an
lvl50 it is a bit useless becouse an lvl50 can gain 20Health everey
second, so he has the half of the Damage back.

And the IS cost is realy high.

But it is good when you use it against npc. When Im doin a Bulldog the
enemy has sometimes 100-400 energie. And then it is good to hit him
first with the Ghoststrike.



I had startet my char with the Shadow Assassin mix, but now Im using more the KnifeThrower. It is better against Hacker.

Lol....sorry flipply, I turn off images when browsing at work... (safer that way, haha)

Yeah, ghost strike isn't exactly something you'd use to bring down a 50 in PvP....I like to use it more or less to assist really, something to help take down an opponent faster for primary damage dealers.  It's low damage, but at the benefit of not being seen (most of the time)

 

I just picked up the knife thrower part of the tree so I'm not that good with it yet, but combined with some of the Shadow abilities (un-bugged stuff), I think that Shadow is a good compliment to Assassin or Knife Thrower.

You love it? Then try Vanish, or use desperate speed if you have improved invisibility on, or use the smokebomb at pvp when there are many players around you......
It has many bugs, but I hope the spy revamp will fix it all SMILEY
