Game Mechanics Shade stepper ideas

Since alot of people are making posts about revamping shade stepper I figured id give some cool ideas for it.
I believe shade stepper should be great for boss fights or 1v1s since the idea doesn't scream aoe lol.
most of these ideas are based around the idea of 1v1s fyi.


Silent killer rework: for every mark on a current enemy reduce vanish cooldown by 1 second max of 4 -6 marks.
(this makes the main ability more accessible and fun)

fatal spin rework: (spin attack is non existent in this class lol)
spin attack will blind all surrounding mobs and put you into vanish automatically. 30 second cooldown. (this is sort of an emergency use ability, letting the assassin deal damage or run away without having to cast two spells to do one action, ie blinding and vanishing)


night cloak knife rework: (i don't understand how this ability good overall? so ill just do my idea for it)
coat your blade in darkness, your first melee will cause 1 enemy to be crippled, taking 50% increased damage from all sources for 3 seconds. 10 second cooldown (the idea here is to add a bit of team dynamic to the subclass while also allowing a setup for the final big ability. and for boss fights)

Satsujin rework:(a bit more dramatic of an upgrade imo)

Marked for death: if an enemy has less than 10% max hp and has 4 marks, backstab will execute them for the remaining health and deal a massive head to toe slash. (this is just a great way to end a boss fight in the shadestepper style imo. not too op since the boss is basically dead anyways lol)

 

Like, as a collective? Or how does this work

 

Good ideas but

this might be to op

 

I LOVE the idea of an execute ability for shade, but 15% max hp is a lot of hp for bosses. I think around 5% is a good start.

 

to make it balanced its a collective of max marks, so like 4 or 6 if u have the upgrade. this resets whenever vanish is cast. i should have explained better in the op post lol

ye agreed redid it with quote above

10% imo is the best, at that point its straight up dead and shadestepper being the heavy damage class that much makes sense since that's the dmg you would do anyways ig

 

I love these ideas, especially the new Satsujin. I think that Silent Killer should reset Vanish’s cooldown on a successful backstab, just my opinion though.
The Nightcloak knife concept is really cool.
All of these would be great additions to the game in my opinion.
