Notes[]

  • Can be maintained at 12 Shadow Arts with Deadly Paradox and a weapon of Enchanting. Primary assassins can substitute Glyph of Swiftness for Deadly Paradox if Shadow Arts is raised to 14.
  • You can still be hit by AoE if you are standing next to the intended target.
  • Shadow Form's damage reduction is always calculated before Protective Spirit, regardless of the order they are cast.
Anomaly Anomaly! Refreshing any Assassin enchantment before it ends will add an additional 5 damage reduction. Enchantments that refresh automatically, such as Critical Defenses, will also give additional damage reduction. Any additional damage reduction is lost if Shadow Form itself is refreshed.
