looks like a pretty good skill, especially to use right before someone dies, although the cast time might screw that up a bit. perhaps try using it as a me/a with fast casting?

a potentially great elite...however the slow cast time and skill recharge bring this elite down
however....does anyone know if this skill is also recharged after it is cast?
if so....pretty damn good elite

It should be able to recharge itself.

but if it does recharge itself then...the 45 second recharge is obsolete...so long as the foe dies

Not a good elite.

In PvP its useless as you'll never know if the person will die, and if they are going to die it might be before 3 secs.

In PvE its easier to get it to work...but...

In both cases its reward for all of that isnt /that/ great given the prerequiste. I can shot Oath Shot with my ranger and its almost a gaurenteed skill recharge, noone has to die, no serious timing. I dont see why Assassins have to go to such lengths for it.

anyone know where u can cap this?

cast time is 3/4 sec not 3 seconds btw.

how on earth can you oathshot it? :/ cant have 2 elites at once, anyone know where to cap this?

He wasn't talking about using Oath Shot to recharge Assassin's Promise. He was comparing the usefulness of Oath Shot to this. And Oath Shot is almost inequivocably better.

This must be the first PvP only skill. Noone seems to be able to find it anywhere except to unlock it with faction for PvP. Someone please prove me wrong here!

To me it looks like it would only be useful against a foe that you expect a somewhat lengthy battle against, i.e., a boss, or some random with high health.

This, of course, is obvious.

how is that odvious?

the enemy needs to die for you to get the benefit of assassin's promise so how would this work in a lengthy battle?

Well, err...yeah, you're right. My mistake.

Not sure what I was thinking.

So no one knows where its located in PvE? aww man...
