Plus if you use it to avoid you sacrifice your ninjutsu if kessatsu isn't up
See, I'd like Hide to function like that... Swap Hide and Malmsight, so Hide is a PvP skill that lets you go hidden for a short time. Then it acts as an extra escape skill as well as means to Trick Attack, while not being overpowered due to the duration + hard counter in Detect/AoEs. Meanwhile, Malmsight becomes a PvE skill and gets adjusted to make it so Ninja actually has some stealth gameplay... Perfect invisibility is the worst form of stealth gameplay, and it doesn't even work after Lv50... Instead I'd rather have Malmsight show you enemy fields of detection, so you can sneak (walk) past hearing range or run around avoiding line of sight... Just make it so when you get detected, you get a temporary Suiton style effect so that you can still use Sneak Attack (since you need to enter line of sight by being in front to really land that...), perhaps rename the Suiton effect to something like Element of Surprise... I'd find that much more entertaining for stealth in PvE and PvP, though level design for PvE still leaves much to be desired...
