Talk:Infusion of Shadow

Effect Priority?

Does the initiative gain happen before or after the skill is activated?

I haven't tested this, but I'm pretty sure you will still need 6 initiative to use the dagger skill 5. 94.212.57.91 11:36, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Will the effect occur if you're stealthed from a combo finisher instead of a direct skill? For example, if you lay down a smoke field and someone does a blast finisher through it?

Did a little test with Black Powder and leaping through with Heartseeker, and it does yield the extra initiative. I'm not sure if it would yield initiative from someone else's blast finisher, as it's not directly caused by you. You should get someone to help you test by setting a smoke field and getting him to blast it. You should be near their blast as it occurs so that you are affected by the area stealth (by skill desc., it works explicitly with stealth on you). A very neat test would be to see if a smoke blast combo near you from two other players will fulfill this trait. This second test would serve to see if the trait requires you take any part in the combo, or if it at least requires you set up the field. 71.55.92.158 08:12, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

Does this trigger when you steal if you have Hidden Thief traited? (granted 2 seconds of stealth on steal)

The effect takes place the instant stealth is activated. Be it reapplying stealth while in stealth or through stealing. Combined with Hidden Thief and Kleptomaniac you would gain 5 initative. Be aware that every pulse of Shadow Refuge counts as reapply of stealth, resulting in gaining 10 initiative from Shadow Refuge's 5 pulses in 4 seconds (excluding natural initiative regeneration). Dagger skill 5 still needs 6 initiative to be triggered, because stealth occurs the moment you actually hit a target, not the moment you start to swing the dagger. Caution: While being revealed, you cannot (re-)enter stealth for 3 seconds, thus Infusion of Shadow will not trigger.
