BugsEdit

  • Either through bug or oversight the initial skills needed to level the Assassination and Shadow skill lines are never recommended. You’ll need to add Assassins Blade and Veiled Strike to your bar in order to level up these skills and unlock the recommended Consuming Darkness and Blur actives as well as the Refreshing Shadows passive.
