Assassin(like) talent

Expand the current selection of talent by adding an “assassin”(or whatever name may be fit) talent.

The talent provides:

Stealth - your sound of foot steps while invisible is either minimized or reduced to none. This makes it harder to detect their presence if you are being followed or ambushed.

Damage&Hit bonus - When you’re invisible, the ‘first attack’ that takes your invisibility off gives you damage bonus. Basically a bonus damage & hit to ambush attacks by 25%? Which makes sense as assassins. But only apply to dagger and small swords.

New item line - “Assassin’s Blade(or dagger)”, “Assassin’s Hood”, DEX requirement 180 or 200.

Archer was a great idea and something like this would widen the spectrum of gameplay in pvp even more.

what do you all think?

I meant it as no footstep while you’re “walking” only. Of course if you run, the sound will resume to normal, as well as with the footstep graphic.

I do not think footsteps should not be changed. if you want to be silent you can walk invis. Its very easy to get jumped when you arent paying attention too closely while hunting or running with people, will be even worse if people have this buff

What would be the purpose of the items? I’m intrigued especially for the hood that looks cool

I guess on a more serious side note - the play style utilizing this talent should be to focus on going to Invisible yourself, then to attack, at least in a case of Assassim vs Warrior kind of situation. Maybe because it’s short sword only and the base damage being low because of it, the stealth attack bonus should be somewhat significant, such as as high as 50% or even more, so that Assassin has a bit of a chance in the Ass vs War match up.

I think its a pretty unique and cool talent -- new item line is hard to add though. I think without new item line it definitely would be interesting. Completely remove footsteps as assassin, but have -15% damage if you are revealed. +25% damage bonus when attacking from behind?
