Word of warning:

for anyone looking to this focus strictly for the "stealth mechanics" you will find yourself dissapointed; sorely.

first of all the 'shadow step' additive which relies on your weapon's crit chance to activate does NOT activate evey time; roughly 40-50% did i notice the skill activate a cloak after dealing a yellow crit, which is what the skill indicates should activate it. i also noticed that, although unstated, that the skill will continue to reactivate while youre under it's cloak for a SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, which means that you cannot remain in stealth indefinitely (even if your melee crit chance was 100%); you will invariably have your skill expire before it is allowed to reactivate again, almost like a limitation on how many crits will activate the skill while under its cloak before it is required to run its timer down. thirdly; this skill is NOT activated by stealth or stunned finisher attacks, therefore you cannot stealth your way through a spy or rescue mission and expect your shadow step skill to activate... IT WILL NOT.

Overall i give this skill tree (including shadow step and taking into account my anticipation waiting to get this skill) a horrid F!

Worthless for support as the confusion is a lackluster version of Nyx's confusion power (no idea what its called), and even worse for solo support since you only need to use this skill once to activate the shadow step function, but aquiring the base skill itself will already require you to wait a full 270 sec (that 4 and a half minutes!!) before you can activate it; even on my own i finish stages in less than 5min which makes this skill absolutely redundant to me. of course you could upgrade the mastery level to max to reduce the time by 75 sec; but that alone will cost you roughly 400,000xp... good luck

tihs is like the fat kid the teacher makes you play baseball with: he can never quite hit the ball and his helmet keeps falling over his eyes. you just really want him to run just a little bit faster and once, JUST ONCE, hit that ball out of the park but thats just never gonna happen
