Need help with getting Shadow Strike

Need help with getting Shadow Strike.

I am a lvl20 W/N who recently changed profession to necro and did almost all of quest. But I figure I can still do some necro skill reward quests in Ascalon area and yaks bend. I did most of them so far, only one problem comes up.

Undertaker Cortis in Piken Square will not give Casualty Report which would reward me Shadow Strike. I am pretty sure this quest has no requirement.

I dont know what is going wrong here.

Have you already done this particular quest before you changed your support? If so, you cannot get the quest again.

no its a necro only quest, this is the first time attemping to get this quest on my W/X character and I have successfully got other necro only quests today include the other one from also from this NPC.

don't worry about it -- ss looks like it sux, anyway.

I beg to differ, If you are a prime necro shadow strike is a very handy skill it can deal 98 damage and you get back half of it

description didn't sound that good --- I think I did that quest, too.

have to check my skill inventory, now.

I'm lvl 12 w/n.

ps

I really prefer the shorter cast times, though.

The "Casulty Report" is NOT a Necromancer only quest. It's a quest that any profession can do - the quest reward is 500 xp for everyone, and if your a Necromancer when you do the quest you also get the skill Shadow Strike.

And SS is a great skill, can potentially do ~98 damage, returning half of that damage to you as health. It's a great skill to use to smack someone down if they are over half health and you need healing.. When used with some other skills, incuding LS, can quickly bring critter's health down while keeping yourself nicely healed and thus let your monk's focus on healing someone else.. It definately has it's uses.

BTW, if you did the quest before when you weren't a /N then the only way for you to get the skill SS is to buy it off a Skill Trainer.

I see that , its not a necro only quest. thank all you guys

SS can do 116 (armor ignoring) damage at 19 Blood, with 58 coming back to you.

19 Blood? How'd you manage that? Please elaborate. And here I though 16 was an accomplishment!

--The Shim

12 + 3 (Sup Blood) + 1 (face scar) + 2 (Awaken the Blood) + 1 (20% offhand)

So it's only 17-19 only on meeting conditions/spells and hoping the % chance hits too? Makes sense. I thought 16 was the normal max.. thanks for clarifying how you reached it.

--The Shim

Awaken can be continuously maintained indefinately, so I have a constant 18 Blood and 20% of the time it hits 19.

For reference; its available from Captain Osric, in Yaks Bend.
