Some stealth CMANs have been updated and a new one has been released.

Shadow Mastery
The CMP (CMAN Point) cost for this CMAN has been reduced from 3/5/7/9/11 to 2/4/6/8/10 for Rogues and from 4/7/10/13/16 to 3/6/9/12/15 for Rangers, thus a reduction of 1 CMP per rank. Monks are no longer candidates for Shadow Mastery as stealth is not meant to be one of their main fortes.

Silent Strike
The chance to successfully remain hidden has been increased. Having the Armored Stealth armor specialization active will also now add to success. The success chance is no longer capped at 95%, but 99%.

Silent Strike's stamina cost has been reduced from 25 to 20.

If the Rogue has learned at least rank 3 of Silent Strike, he or she will attempt to remain hidden when performing the Cutthroat or Subdue maneuvers.

Vanish
The new Vanish CMAN is available...

Skill Name: Vanish
Mnemonic: vanish
Hostile: No
Stamina Cost: Base 25. If currently in roundtime (RT), an additional penalty of 1 stamina point per second of RT remaining is applied (per 2 seconds of RT if Shadow Mastery is active). The stamina cost for this skill is capped at 75.
Other Requirements: Training in Stalking and Hiding is recommended.
Available to: Rogues.
Prerequisites:
Shadow Mastery (at rank 4)
CMP Cost:
Rank 1: (Squares) 4
Rank 2: (Squares) 8
Rank 3: (Squares) 12
Description: You immediately attempt to hide without roundtime (RT). This hasty attempt comes with a penalty to the hide check of 10*(3 - Ranks) + 15*(Armor Group - 1). At higher ranks, Vanish may be attempted in RT:
Rank 2: Can Vanish while in 5 seconds or less of RT.
Rank 3: Can Vanish while in any amount of RT.

Nice updates. I'm now seriously thinking about changing my rogue's build.

Thanks Oscuro, and team.

[Drew]

Vanish is cool!

[Ryvicke]

The hide check penalty is new, right? I wonder how much the hidden roll is affected by plate at rank 3.

[Loagan]

Has anyone tried it yet? Please post some screen shots if you have.

You need to get outdoors. Run a 5k. Do a triathlon. Sites like this are...well not normal, but not abnormal.

[SpiffyJr]

Just go to your local gym around noon and/or 5:00 PM.

[Asha]

Silent cutthroat.. fucking yes.
Vanish.. that's like something in a rogue rotation from WoW.

These are frigging brilliant updates and make me wish my Ranger was a Rogue.. again.

Can't wait for Team Plate to start QQing the place up.

This. Prime time for gyms are always huge meat markets.

[Ryvicke]

I was in Israel last year--every girl wore these around like they were actual pants, or like the world was a gym. No long shirts or skirts or anything else. It was mind-boggling.

[AnticorRifling]

Were you thinkin Burkakake?

[Ryvicke]

You know how they add new words to the dictionary every year?

Burkakake is going in 2019.

EDIT: I'm disappointed it's not even on urban dictionary, the closest they have is this: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=burka%20bitch

Who in Philly can confirm or deny that this exists?

[AnticorRifling]

Yeah the only reference to the term burkakake is on these forums, we're kind of a big deal.

I went to school at Temple University in North Philly and lived in center city by the art museum and never once heard it. Then again im white didnt have a personal translator with me at all times.. just sayin.


edit:btw whoever wrote that should have used West Philly instead of Center City... that was a mistake. Would be much more plausible there.

Damn, it has been put into bandit mechanics yo!!! Mmm, I can't wait for the pwnage. There is going to be so much QQ from the pures.

Nice post by the way. I'm still waiting for someone to use Vanish while stunned. :drool:

I was raging hard.

[IorakeWarhammer]

this is awesome. i wish bandits would pop out on trails at random all the time, but as 1 or maybe just 2 so it wouldnt be an epic fail every time you move from town to town
