where do non-nightblade classes get a stealth opener for melee that both hits hard and allows us to burst a target?
for most classes who want to do a non-nightblade stealth build our opener was heavy attack which was at the time weaker since it did slightly less damage than ambush and FAR less damage than incapacitating strike as well as having no real debuffing, but it was enough to get the job done.
with the heavy/light attack nerf and the fact most spells that made it possible like crystal blast or psijiic spell(forget the name, elemental weapon?) allowed you to setup a hit that was ALMOST as good as a nightblades initiation that took an extra second to setup basically non-viable so now non-nightblade classes cannot stealth initiate properly.
you cant count rapid strikes or twink blades as it because its DOT based so has an awful scaling with the crit strike.
my solution?
make it so if Flurry and its morphs trigger a stealth critical from the flank it deals an additional 4000 damage and inflicts major breach for 3 seconds.(this is roughly the tooltip of an ambush with a pretty heavy stamina investment)
likewise if the ability hidden blade and its morphs triggers a stealth critical it should deal triple damage and said breach.
this would open 2 new options for non-nightblades for stealth if they so choose without taking anything away from the class with the superior abilities
