Hidden Blade

Hidden Blade: Fire a secret dagger from your sleeve at an enemy, dealing [3689 / 3729 / 3771 / 3810] Physical Damage and granting you Major Brutality and Sorcery, increasing your Weapon and Spell Damage by 20% for 20 seconds. If the enemy hit is casting an ability they are interrupted, set Off Balance, and stunned for 3 seconds.

Shrouded Daggers: Area: 8 meters.
Fire a secret dagger from your sleeve that bounces up to 3 times to nearby enemies, dealing [4766 / 4818 / 4870 / 4923] Physical Damage per hit. If enemies hit are casting they are interrupted, set Off Balance, and stunned for 3 seconds. You also gain Major Brutality and Sorcery, increasing your Weapon and Spell Damage by 20% for 20 seconds.

Flying Blade: Fire a secret dagger from your sleeve at an enemy, dealing [3811 / 3853 / 3896 / 3936] Physical Damage and marking them for 5 seconds. If the enemy hit is casting an ability they are interrupted, set Off Balance, and stunned for 3 seconds. Reactivating this ability on them allows you to jump to a marked enemy free of cost, dealing [5716 / 5779 / 5842 / 5904] Physical Damage. Casting grants you Major Brutality and Sorcery, increasing your Weapon and Spell Damage by 20% for 40 seconds.

Hidden Blade deals Physical Damage to a distant enemy and interrupts them if they're casting an ability, and also increases your Weapon and Spell Damage. Shrouded Daggers causes the dagger to bounce and hit up to three additional targets, while Flying Blade increases your Weapon and Spell Damage for longer and, if cast on the same target a second time, makes you jump to that target, dealing extra damage.

Patch Notes

1.1.2

• Flying Blade:
  • Increased the cost of Flying Blade. It now has the same cost as Hidden Blade.
  • Those who have spent Skill Points in the Flying Blade passive will have those points returned to their overall skill point pool. You may place those Skill Points back in this ability if you wish, or invest them elsewhere.

• Shrouded Daggers: This ability is now capable of a critical strike when you successfully perform a sneak attack.

2.4.5

• Increased the amount of time this ability and its morphs provide the Major Brutality buff to 20 seconds from 10 seconds.
• Shrouded Daggers: In addition to the changes made to the base ability, the two dagger bounces of this morph now deal 20% additional damage per bounce from the initial damage, increased from dealing a flat 50% of the initial damage.

2.6.4

• Shrouded Daggers: Fixed an issue where this morph would not bounce the daggers if the dagger damage was the killing blow.
