Hide Walk Animation

The animation is lame and the action itself is rather useless except in pvp...

i hope you'll be using it to open boss fights with Trick Attack. Your party will appreciate the extra 10% damage.
Also *certain things* about your animations with your daggers out change when you have the ninja soul crystal equipped. Can't remember if Hide is one of them.

Hate to break it to you .. Entering combat with a boss seems to instantly break Hide. I'll wager not many ROGs have seen it happen (im the only ROG ive seen in lowbie DR so far), But in Halatali, confirmed it by making sure i was in Hide before the boss pulls. It instantly breaks me out every time, as soon as the boss looks at the tank.

Meh, there's still Suiton.
Hide itself still has uses, as anyone whose tried to get to King Coeurlclaw can attest.

Yes, it should be the Scooby Doo tip toe, complete with sound effects. Tip Toes
