Do you think mythic will do this to even up the stealth wars. Do you think they need to?

There was no visible stealthing options for the Mid Catacomb classes I believe.

it doesn't look like it, besides as far as I can understand from US boards, the lack of Mastery of Stealth has put a dampener on the utility a minstrel brings to the stealth wars.

no 3rd stealth class, at least banshee is a caster and vampiir looks like a tank. Mid gets a mage and a thane like thing with heals.

No one cares about the stealth war, least of all Mythic. Make no mistake, when they speak of balance they mean in the realm war (i.e. zerg vs zerg and to a lesser extent, fg vs fg).

They'd probably halve it's base damage or something though. Or make an assassin without crit strike, with unspecced shortbow, and able to charm a green con pet. :p

they care about stealth wars. It accounts for about 1/4 of their player base (including BB's) at a rough guess.

I'd LOVE to see some evidence for that.

true, but 95% of stealth owners got another lvl50 char wich they are counting on we'll use after they rape stealthers time and again, except their beloved minstrels ofcourse.


ps. no we wont get another stealther

No chance of more stealth classes.

Assassin % in each realm (US this is - on which they unfortunately base all their decisions) is about 8%.

Not a hope of any more stealth - both mid classes have been announced and neither have stealth. Mid to come, but I'd bet that theres no chance for either of those.

NO

However i believe they might tune up NF/SB overall. They will very likely do something about the Critical Strike line that will affect all assasain classes, and from stealth attacks in particular.
Also i do believe something will be done about 2-h PA damage. due to the fact that the disadvantages of continued use of 2-h outweighes its pro´s.

The current hight resists and increased melee abs from artifacts and +AF and overall raise in +HITS of atleast 150-200HP. Will push this uptune.

Possibly will NF/SB get more specpoints, or their weaponstyles a refreshing uptune.

Post NF release Vanish will be of great use as it is aviable cross all assasain classes and will help an "escape".
Viper might help also, but due to high resist frequency of poisons, partially due to lack of specpoints to put in envenom line (low envenom spec) template hardship (5skill lines to take into consideration in template.), makes many assasains have a items with +envenom that he/she puts on when applying poisons. = +3 or so in envenom in most specs. and frequent aviability of purge (15mins-lvl2,5mins-lvl3) its PRO´s is limited.

Survivability is also lessened, especially in the case of the SB´s.
Due to removal of dodger. And as STR is a big issue when it comes to SB´s, norseman is a common choice = less racial base for evade (dex+qui).
its in this case a design flaw from mythics part. as it is with str/con poisons effect on SB´s.

Both NS and SB´s are truely prime candidates when it comes to a uptune in my opinion.
We dont need more stealth classes, we need the old ones to perform better overall, and have increased survivability so they can perform their designed duty. "Assasinate".

Factors that speak for and also very much against stealthers in general atm are grapple, Zephyr and bodyguard and brittle guards.
