But that's because its built more like an avenger- in that its strikery-ness does not come from big hits but from consistent hits.I agree the shroud mechanic is semi-counter intuitive, but its not worthless. You just have to figure out ways for it to be extra useful. The assassin in my previous campaign would stack his shrouds on an opponent that he wasn't (nor was the rest of the party) focus firing on. So that when it came time to attack that monster he could bring down the thunder.The class reminds me of the wizard class in a way. not the pure best at its main role by any means, but the sheer utility of its other powers makes it stand out as fun to play. Teleports, invisibility, enhanced senses and movement, buffs for other characters.I'd say give it a try if you're cool with not being the biggest damage dealer a round.</blockquote>
