So dream with in a dream is a ninja version of jump from the sounds of it

ninja version of jump

Thats Assassinate, really.
Unless it also locks us in place (which I hope it doesnt).

Duality sounds amazingly good... now I have to think a way to make an opener with that in mind so I can actually abuse the aggro skills :/
Doubt it will affect DoTs, right?

Reading again the Digest it was hinted that the positionals would be a nerf (a very mild one tho) to counter the huton extending buff... which now that I see a very reasonable number can tell why... 30 seconds of extension does make it so AE and this new skill can alternate pretty smoothly. Also, no reason to lose Huton at all... and that means a lot of ninjutsus... damn D:

So 80% enmity proc reduction huh? Too bad it doesnt work on Tanks if I wanna get a healer dead :v!!! But I can see the teamwork utility this has XP
"Oh shit! MT died and OT was so focused on DPS rotation that their aggro fell under the healer!!" *throws the skill the healer's way* *saves the day* *no one notices* PERFECT NINJA :U!

Too bad is no enmity transfer so we can feed our DRK pets some onmnomnom-jerks :v
"here, have a cookie".

Armor Crush: Combos after Gust Slash. Deals full potency from flank, less from rear. Extends Huton duration by 30 sec (max 70).

ok, i will ask one more time the same thing than before, when can we use Aeolian edge with this? it means to be used one time every 30 second. and like i have show before, exept if someone is placing Dancing edge or storm's eye for us. we will not be able to maintain the debuff/dot and use Aeolian with this.
if you don't believe me, try yourself to do a cycle of 70 second and see if you can put an Aeolian edge combo in the cycle. (even without count the mudra lag)

Shadewalker: Reduces target's enmity gain by 80% for about ten seconds. Does not work on tanks (I tried).

That's weird. The tooltip sounds more like the enmity transfer we've been told we'd get.

It says:

Grants target party member the effect of Silhouette, diverting 80% of all enmity generated to your doppleganger. No effect when the target is under the effect of Shadewalker.

Perhaps you make a shadow figure of yourself that's just there to soak the target's enmity, hence reducing their hate? And that's the doppleganger?
Really sounds more like you link to another person and they gain your silhouette and you transfer your enmity to them, which fits with what we've heard.
But that reddit guy says it doesn't work on tanks? That wouldn't make sense then.

^Sounds awesome. The positionals aren't that bad. I'm already doing aeolian from the back and the huton refresh will be easy to nail. I am curious about the potency of the dream attack.

[Aiurily]

duality+trick/sneak attack would be fun if that worked. huton refresh looks good, but i wonder how much tp it'll cost and its potency

I think the duality they said only applies to weapon skills and typically the means GCD skills that use tp so I don't think it will be able to be used on trick attack.

Meh lets just hope they don't screw it up and make the refresh on Armor Crush reliant on getting the positional.

[AzraelX]

duality + AE = golden

[Pluvia]

That would be god awful. (The refresh dependent on the position)

Now queue the tool drg players(I don't mean any of the smart ones on this forum) that come in the thread and Say good I hope it doesn't apply the refresh if you miss the positional you'll know how we felt with HT blah blah blah people on the forums who have nothing better to do.
