Shadow Master

Shadow Master

Casting Delay: 6 Seconds
Required Level: 30
Prerequisites: Claw Mastery, Psychic Hammer, Weapon Block, Cloak of Shadows, Shadow Warrior.
Effect: This discipline allows an Assassin to project an even more powerful shadow avatar. The Shadow Master has access to all of the Assassin skills, including those you don't have.
Synergies: None
Notes:

• The Shadow Master has greater resistance than the Shadow Warrior. Most players choose the Shadow Master for play past level 30 although the Shadow Warrior offers more control over which skills and spells she casts.
• Shadow Masters have a base strength and dexterity equal to their level * 10.
• The skills a Shadow Master casts have the skill-level equal to half her skill-level +1.
• You can have only one active shadow at a time, either a Shadow Master or a Shadow Warrior.
• Resistances of the Shadow Master do not suffer from the penalties in Nightmare and Hell difficulty. Furthermore, they are not capped at 75%. Hence, it's possible to create a Shadow Master with immunity to elemental attacks.
• Shadow Masters use the following skills: Cloak of Shadows (rarely), Mind Blast, Fade, Burst of Speed, Death Sentry, and a few other Martial Arts and Traps skills.
