Hope someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong here. I made my first Sin (roleplaying) and somehow ended up with Shadow Form(E) PVP in my skills instead of the PVE skill. I have tried capping and it wont let me (says known skill).
I tried using an Elite Tome, that didnt work either. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Are you in a PvP outpost? That's all I can think of.

Also, I HATE SHADOW FORM.

I'm going to start posting that at the bottom of every post until ArenaNet nerfs it again. That, and Ursan.

Some skills have different versions of them for PvP and PvE. If you're in a PvP outpost, they automatically give you the PvP version of the skill. Enter a normal PvE area and you get your PvE version.

Shadow Form is one of those skills that has different versions.

I hope you're not writing this while your Assassin sits in your GH.

If it's not obvious, the reason he's saying this is because your GH is considered a PVP area, so skills with different versions for PVE and PVP will show the PVP version when in your GH.

Any area that has that PvP Icon in the top left corner is PvP.
A GH is a PvP area because that is where GvGs are held.
