While you probably won't use smoke flash much, if you are soft-capped, you won't use Retsu either. Both can be dropped comfortably.

The assassin's shock can be interrupted. So you have to make sure you're not moving before you click it. It's pretty easy to mess up, so you really do need to stop and pause for a beat before clicking it.

I would expect it to be unrelated to when we start doing damage.... though if my theory is correct, you can just hit the thing once, and wait until the tick heals it, to start your run. This will will essentially allow you to start at the best possible time.

I just came back so I am a ways from doing endgame stunts myself, but.... I think we need to rethink the test a bit. If we are getting times in the 90 second range, that means the Pylon is only getting 5 or 6 ticks of health... The problem is this, there is a significant difference between 5 ticks and 6 ticks. If you start just after a tick, you will get a significantly different time then if you start just before a tick. Back when we took 4 minutes per fight, this didn't matter so much. And yes, it is good to be back.

Perfect William Valence. That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

I'm not asking for the % chance to critical hit. I'm asking for the % chance to apply an assassin's focus using a regular in-set attack. For example, when I use thunder kick I see that it applies a stack of assassin's focus around 75% of the time. But that's a rough guess. I'm asking if anyone has done the data mining to know the exact % chance. When I'm high enough to get more powers I can do some data mining myself, but I was hoping someone already did the work.

I'm looking for some real numbers here... I've read that normal attacks have a chance to add assassin's focus, up to 3 max. I've also read that Powers with longer recharge times have a much higher chance to apply assassin's focus (Is this right? I expected it to be based on cast time, not recharge time). Does anyone have the actual numbers on the % chance to apply assassin's focus for various powers? Or a formula to calculate it? Thanks,

Running DFB this afternoon I noticed I wasn't getting any enhancement drops... none at all. I mentioned this in group and several others said they didn't get any either. Was ok last night... perhaps related to the 8/22 patch? ..., or perhaps something else.
