Shadow walker

Why is this trait gone?

[SpookyGhost]

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

[SanjuroXI]

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?

[SanjuroXI]

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.

Are you trying to say, "there was enhance movement speed on English, so will they bring it back"? It's possible but we don't know. However, no other version of the Shadowstalker (French, German, and Japanese) had that in their description of the skill. So we're just assuming it's a mistake in the description.

I play in the Japanese version and it always said, "increases surprise attack's potency from 300 to 500". It never once said that hide's speed was decreased. So it leads me to believe, since Japanese is the original language of the game, that it was 100% mistake on the translation team for English.
