Shadow Walk - yay or nay?

Unread post by Glowfire »

Did some forum searching but most threads were a few years old. Saw there were some issues with it (the spell!) failing 80% of the time even with high Search skill. Was this ever fixed?

I wanted to pick it for rp flavour but if its still that broken it might not be worth it? Especially since it requires Search. I'm fine with needing Search but that failure rate seems brutal!

both shadow walk and mirror walk have a stupidly high fail rate. As most of my guildy's can attest Erza's works 1/3 times at most.

It was changed to require concentration or search. It works very well on my wizard. I will doublecheck to make certain

Thanks mrm3ntalist. Means less skills shuffling.

Not happy about the failure rate being the same as previously. Maybe it can be changed. Will make a bug/mechanical change thread.

Edit:
Subject: Shadow Walk/Mirror Walk - too high failure rate
