; Issue
:Shadow stepping is barely ever viable in PvE besides running and occasionally when you need to skip over terrain.
; Suggestion
: Lower recharges on all PvE shadow steps would make them MUCH more viable. Taking away aftercast would give the assassin his rhythm back. Let's start with {{Skill_Icon | Death's Charge}}. This skill can be a powerful self-heal but it's recharge makes it inconvenient, especially since it brings you back into melee. Perhaps a 12 second recharge would make this a much more viable heal. {{Skill_Icon | Dark Prison}} can be decent for starting chains, but it needs to recharge much more quickly. In PvE, you simply *aren't* going to be using any kind of build that can score a kill every 30 seconds. Dark prison and {{skill_icon | Shadow Prison}} alike need very small recharges. 6 for shadow prison, 12 for Dark prison. As it is now, Assassin's Promise is about the only hex sins use in PvE other than Asuran Scan. {{Skill_Icon | Beguiling Haze}} provides Daze, which is extremely powerful, so perhaps a 16 recharge on it, but otherwise it's fine for a daze skill. Perhaps 10 energy would make it more appealing. {{Skill_Icon | Shadow Fang}} suffers from too high of a recharge to be useful. Bring the recharge down to 10 and it would become an interesting skill for pulling mobs that would still retain killing capacity afterward. {{Skill_Icon | Aura of Displacement}} follows the same principle, however it is elite. A 5 second recharge and 5 energy would make this an appealing skill to assassins.

{{moved|from|[[User talk:Linsey Murdock]]}}
Would it be possible to change the range of [[Recall]], [[Shadow of Haste]], [[Aura of Displacement]] and [[Shadow Meld]] to unlimited in PvE again? The reason why i'm asking is simply because i think Assassins lack their number one feature - the mobility - in PvE entirely. Making the range of these shadowsteps unlimited would allow people to shorten up Missions, Quests, Farmruns etc and make Assassins a viable class in PvE not for their [[Shadow Form|tanking]] or [[Critical Agility|damage dealing]] abilities but for the feature that always represented them the best: mobility.
Well, you would need to prevent secondary Assassins from using them by linking the Skills to critical strikes. As compensation for this buff you could consider nerfing Shadow Form to non-maintainable state again.
