Shadow walker

Why is this trait gone?

Can't check if it's actually gone since I don't have NIN unlocked, but you're thinking of Shadowstalker I assume.

Yea that its not there anymore. Didnt see anything in maintenance notes about it either.

Just took a quick stroll around the rest of the forums and found this:

Possibly why it was removed?

ÌHmm guess thats why enhanced sneak attack is there now.Is there any intentions of putting shadowstalker back as enhance movement during hide or was it just a mistake.

It was just a mistake. It never increased movement speed. The English tooltip was the only one that (incorrectly) said that it did.

They obviously at one time though planned for having that trait on ninja shadowstalker which was removed completely. Was jw if they intend on putting it back in but working as the original description of it.

the "original description" that you think was right was wrong. it was misstranslated. the proper trait was to boost sneak attack, not increase movement speed. the english version was the only one that had anything about it saying increases movement speed. Jap, French, and so on all had increases sneak attack pot to 300(500) from front. also, it never increased movement speed.

I know what im saying is it had its own icon and description. I know it was enhanced SA all along but they obviously had shadowstalker thought out as a JT. It wasnt a mere typo they put a completly diff trait there instead of enhance sneak attack which is there now. So my question still remains do they intend on adding that in game at some point or was it just a JT that got dropped in development.

It was switched out for Enhanced Sneak Attack. Like others have said the trait was just wrong. so it was replaced with its actual trait. This "new" trait increases the potency of your sneak attack and trick attack abilities (the old one also did this but was wrong)
