    Hi all,

    The shadowers skill assassinate sometimes "randomly" (I have some theories on this but it's beside the point here) dashes you forward even when you are inputting another skill. This causes you to get flung into whatever you're attacking which is less than ideal especially when you aren't very washed (losing control over your character isn't fun when you are washed either though).

    What I'd like to suggest is that having no input during assassinate returns you to an idle state similar to any other attacking skill. Pressing or holding left or right will dash you either left or right. This will prevent you from dashing when the game fails to register your next skill input.

    It's a small change and might be easy to implement hopefully, maybe not. But it would go a long way towards better quality of life for shadowers and prevent many untimely deaths.

    Let me know what you think, it's so simple that I figured it would have been brought up before but I couldn't find it so here goes.

    Thanks!

    100% agree. I don't think other jobs have such a painful and rng-based thing and it sounds silly but you'd think a master shadowy knife assassin would have better control and have perfected the art of killing with their movements and not randomly spaz like a rookie while using their signature move.

    I don't think its game breaking at all and like reducing the delay for assaulter, be an amazing QoL change to the job.

    apparently temp fix is to put nate in a macro three times and that'll kind of help? i'm trying it rn.
