A Few Pearls of Wisdom
Here are a few factors about the Night Walker class which I think may be quite useful to know.
Dark Sight: The skill can be disengaged by pressing the skill button a second time (this might be slightly obvious as it is in the skill description). When deactivated this way instead of with the attack key, you are able to immediately follow up with any other skill.
- *Warning about Dark Sight* This skill requires a slight wait after using an attack with shadow servant active and an even longer wait with shadow illusion active. It appears that any of their attacks cause dark sight to instantly deactivate.
Shadow Spark: The star has a larger hitbox when it detonates at the end of the attack. Used at the peak of a jump, this can be used to hit mobs on platforms above you such as the upper two platfroms in R&JPQ's notorious grinding map while still hitting ones on the main area below.
Shadow Dodge: This move can be used to slightly extend the vertical reach of shadow jump. If used with your feet close enough to a platform you are still underneath, you will be moved up to the platform when using this skill (this applies to shade's backstep) as well).
Shadow Stitch: This skill doesn't require a charge up before using as long as you are standing within the hitbox area of the monster (or possibly extremely close). This can be especially useful against Magnus, as you will be able to bind him without leaving yourself as vulnerable to a surprise meteor disaster.
- Minor bonus tip: Shadow stitch covers a very large area when fully charged and deals a fairly powerful single-hit. This can be useful for scoring multi-kills of up to 15 when Dominion is in cooldown.
Dark Omen: As the skill description states, this doesn't trigger a monster's damage reflect (although, it also doesn't bypass damage blocking from it). As a result, it can be useful to pick off summons or to throw in as a quick "safety attack" when a boss is close to casting damage reflect. Its large vertical area also makes it handy against Magnus.
