A friend of mine was interested in finding out how a rogue/warlock could, through either hybrid or multiclassing benefit both from shadow walk and the new MP2 Rogue class feature to be able to constantly hide in plain sight. It was already possible, but both involved using up the paragon path to either paragon multiclass as a warlock to get Shadow Walk via a feat, or to paragon hybrid so that both class features could be taken by feats.
With the new assassin article however, a heroic tier it's possible to get Shadow Walk with a single feat (although you need to be both a warlock and an assassin). This means a hybrid rogue + either warlock or assassin and multiclass into the third can constantly hide (by moving three squares) as early as 4th level (2nd level for a human).
Not saying it's broken (it was already possible in paragon tier, but now it's easier to pull off earlier, plus you don't have to give up a paragon path) but wasn't sure if WOTC knew about that particular trick at the time. For a 'normal' assassin, it's a great feature that makes sense for them to have ... but throwing the rogue's new class feature into the mix makes it quite nasty.
