Update - Friday August 8
Skill Updates
* Glimmering Mark: skill description has been updated to reflect that the hex ends on skills, not spells.
* Way of the Assassin: this skill now only works with daggers; reduced attack speed increase to 5..20%.
Bug Fixes
* Fixed a bug that caused the Flashing Blades block effect to trigger when not attacking.
* Fixed a bug that caused Confusing Images to remain active after casting a spell.
* Fixed a bug that caused Incendiary Arrows, Barrage, and Volley to occasionally not fire an arrow at the target.
Fixed a bug that caused "By Ural's Hammer" to fail to consider Spirits as allies.

"By Ural's Hammer" is a failzor.
Btw - should Spirits be considered as Allies? I mean, they are already dead.

Does "By Ural's Hammer!" count minions too then? If so I might actually use it.

The IAS is a bit low at 13 critical strikes, in my opinion, but the critical damage possibility makes up for it. Assassins were meant to use daggers and I stick by that. I never use any other weapon. Just like how rangers should keep using their bow.

Way of the Assassin BALANCE, well done Anet, that was a fast and very much needed BALANCE

ANet disagrees with you, good sir.

WotA was stupid broken and needed fixing. This doesn't mean that there are other things that are abusive like ranger expertise and so on. But there was no way a/d a/ps should be allowed to exist in that form.
Cathode_Reborn
WotA got the hit pretty fast....Now imagine GW if Anet was always that quick to fix problems...

Still does, except the builds are largely overshadowed by the current Warrior cookie-cutters that don't really leave enough room to have fun with secondaries.

i think you people on page 1 misread it, they fixed it so Flashing Blades only works when you're attacking, before it was blocking 100% of the time even if you were dancing etc. so yeh.

Way of the Assassin nerf is good. Thanks for adressing this matter quickly, Anet.
Edit:
I played an elementalist through Prophecies with an all-Prohecies bar using nothing but Hammer attacks and aftershock. It was really funny. Using 2nd classes for other weapons is one of the coolest things in the game. It's just that some combinations can be very powerful.

The WotA nerf was good, it was ridicoulously imbalanced with Way of the Master and Critical Eye on a Scythesin.
