Thread: Patch 2.4 Notes - Preliminary

The one thing I really didn't like about Ninja is you can only use 3 of your abilities once per boss. First off you can only hide while out of combat. Sneak attack and Trick can only be used while under the effect of hide. Basically you open up with one of them then you can't use SA and TA for the rest of the fight because you can't hide while you are in combat.

Suiton lets you TASA without Hide.

You can always just drop dead, get rezzed, the pop a hide, since technically you're still out of battle for a short couple of seconds until you're either touched, or you touch the boss.

iirc, they were saying on the stream during fanfest that they are fixing it so you stay in combat when rezzed

Another thing that I haven't seen mentioned, these patch notes do not appear to include traits. It wouldn't even be unprecedented for there to be a trait to remove that restriction. "Raise cannot be used in battle" I'm looking at you.
