Hybrid armor gives flat defenses, lasts 4 turns.
Shadow arts lasts only 3 turns, and only takes a percentage of dealt damage, being only useful against TOO high damages .
E.g.: If you use at lvl 7, takes 24%. It means if you were to be attacked by:
600 HP, it only takes 144 damage.
400 HP, it only takes 96 damage.
(it's even lower if you are going to take less damage)

My suggestions are one of them or both:
- Improves also a small % for block/deflection (you are fade into the shadows, I think it makes sense)
- Increase it to 4 turns.

It's too underused and when it's used we don't really see a big change, so I think those boosts would make it a respected skill.

 This skill definitely needs changes so it's usable.

It used to passively increase block and stun chance, and no one liked that. I only enjoyed it when I made troll builds that had 40% block chance before the passive change. So I don't think this would work too well.

Actually, why not keep the % as is, or maybe even make it a bit less, but extend the duration to something unbelievably long like 5-6 turns?

While I do think Shadow Arts is underused, I don't think it is not usable.
I normally use it in battles, specially 2 vs 2 and it has proven to be a great skill (I use a lvl 5 SA), though I do wish it had last one more turn and I think it had be a nice buff but I don't support the idea of the block/deflect chance buff.

It had be somewhat like Hybrid Armor with 4 turns, but it would work differently since it doesn't improves with no stat but its perk is that it doesn't gives additional rage by using it and it has a set reducing damage %.

 Hi Stonehawk,

Shadow Arts is a Bounty Hunter & Cyber Hunter skill, so it should be discussed in the =ED= Official Bounty Hunter Balance Discussion Thread and/or the =ED= Official Cyber Hunter Balance Discussion Thread.

Thread locked.
