Anyway, I'm also woefully out of touch with the RoR changes. I had kind of glanced at some of them when they came out, but to be completely honest, I didn't pay that much attention because I didn't think I'd ever "seriously" play my SW again - back when RoR launched there was massive lag for me (in Alaska in NA so twice everyone elses,) and given SW squishiness combined with my [rather suicidal] in the thick of it all playstyle I figured it was a lost cause. However, with the new hardware on the server and some other tweaks I'm beginning to think it's entirely viable for me to return to my beloved Sexy Boots on RoR. Oh how I miss them, and WAR as a whole. It seems like every other game these days hands out RDPS + heals - talk about easy mode. I loved WAR because it was harder, I loved melee Shadow Warrior because it was hard, I crave the challenge, ya know?
Anyway, so back in live I used to keep a list of all the changes to the class. I can't recall if I'd posted this on here or not, but if one is curious, here's the list from live:

So I'm hoping at least one of ya more serious SW player's have paid better attention to these changes and have some free time help me update my list and get myself up to speed again. My search of the server logs and patch notes hasn't been exactly helpful - especially for stuff that changed game mechanics as a whole, rather than specifically just Shadow Warrior's. I suppose in live I had a whole harem of Shadow Warriors to help me go through all the changes; what they loved... [mostly hated to be frank - the devs in live really seemed to hate the Sexy Boots heh] but now I'm doing this on my own and feeling quite overwhelmed with trying to parse through it all and actually put it into game play - especially difficult considering my SW is only 26 yet. My husband's got a 40 but he's not exactly helpful (he expects /me/ to keep him informed
)Thanks to anyone who can help! <3
Assault SW is good fun atm, but high lvl and gear really helps
