Grim Focus:
This ability and its morphs no longer need to be activated to generate stacks, as they will now generate stacks any time you meet their original requirements simply with the ability slotted on either bar.
Increased the cost of the special activate to 1890, up from 1350, to make up for the fact that you no longer need to activate the buff portion of these abilities.
These abilities now all use consistent naming and icons, rather than having separate names for the active versus stacking portions.
Updated the tooltips to mention that fully charged Heavy Attacks grant double stacks.
These abilities will now highlight on your ability bar when you are at full stacks, rather than becoming a different icon.


Shadow
Shadow Cloak: This ability and the Shadowy Disguise morph now also grant Major Savagery and Prophecy for slotting on either bar, to help them offer more functionality outside of PvP and to ensure the abilities still offer something when they are being countered.

You've actually done it. I will now quit my Redguard Templar I've been playing since beta to become an NB. Redguard was already treated badly through the patches and neglected. Stamina templar was alright. Truth be told when I became a vampire, I was stealthing all over the place anyways and "ganking" out of it with a bow. So all I have to do is simply move the set from that inferior class onto the NB.

Now I can stack up to 7k constant damage with 50% crit and 30k health and about 20k penetration. Without Balogh. Spectral bow so tasty. It's what I wish power of the light is but I can always crit it up.

Earlier I said that NB cloak had to be put up to standards...uhh...lets forget about that post.

Its going to be the go-to class for brand new players to bring the best players down to their knees. New players rejoice. a 100k gold build can be had and be effective in pvp.
