Since they’re making some very minor balance changes now, I would really like to see this happen. It used to be level 7 with a 100% assassinate damage boost before her rework, and it was the best choice at the tier, but Ambush used to also teleport instantly after level 13 when you got old DFA. I think this would make all 3 talents at that tier usable, and help ambush build come online before level 16 which is pretty late.
I’m aware ambush build is reasonably popular and successful, but it takes until level 13 before it’s any different from playing garotte build, and until level 16 for the talent that makes it do more damage.
Currently, you pick up mutilate at level 7, which increases your damage anyways, but it would be nice for your damage spike to be earlier and tied to your specific build, and then the vanish CDR + ambush burst engine is online at level 13 instead of 16.
This would mean you AREN’T getting mutilate at 7, so your mobility is better even if your sustained damage is worse. I would suggest putting another burst talent at 16, where it will be competing with Seal Fate. Previously she had Expose Armor at 16 which made eviscerate reduce armor, but now that she has armor reduction on ambush I’d suggest something like a direct damage increase on eviscerate, or even nerfed cold blood to give that build more damage now it doesn’t have mutilate. I don’t expect garotte build would use it, honestly. Seal fate is very powerful for it.
Thoughts? Comments? Concerns?
