Assassinate and Ninjas/ninja paths help

[P_body]

Is assassinate even useful still? 

Death kiss path feels nearly useless now bc failing an assassination is hardly a death sentence for a Ninja.

Falcon eye can be cool. But likely not enough of a speed boon with a small pbase. If a ninja is on and the char "might" be studying you,  95% likelihood it is.  Falcon eye speeds up the study, but unless it's been majorly revamped, it doesn't seem enough to be interesting. 

Envenom path just got nerfed. Not sure if it's too much, but it feels more hit and miss. (Too bad it got abused and required a change. But no way around this so I'm not complaining just analyzing). 

 

Shadow arts looks cool. Especially with the nerve bonus of offhand/shield disarm. But from what I know, shadow arts doesn't stack like the helpfile seems to imply. More like a mini version of a syndi skill. Possibly still strong.

 

Double  sheath, while the skill itself feels barely useful, the bonus you get to throw feels strong, albeit a bit too straight forward and  therefore a little mundane. 

 

Thoughts? From what I can see on the forums  too double sheath seems most common path what about others? Ninja assassins are a thing of the past?

In my experience shadow arts does not really impact a fight the way the helpfile implies. Death kiss real value is the curing poison on strangle. It appears to be a very high % chance to cure on strangle.

Yeah death kiss has an interesting play style with strangle resets 

Melee is DS all day

So Death Kiss is an outdated description help file? because that isn't implied anywhere that I can see.

There was a new update bot lol g ago. Generally speaking I'd read over change logs. As I've discoversed other of helpfiles can be a little misleading

You can apply for a ninja select change just like warriors with rp pts.
