I like the: Chilling Winds/Sight Beyond Sight/Renew and Restore Life/paragon changes (ALL), ranger changes (almost all, I dont get the power shot change, still useless skill), Mind Wrack/Kiteh's and Ethereal Burden/Vengeance (WOW maintainable) changes.

I dont like: Warmonger's Weapon, Magebane Shot, Aura of Stability, Elemental Flame (still crap), Hex Eater Vortex and... That's it. Pretty nice job, especially the return of YAA.

Well Coward seems really good now, the 4 adren will make it more usable/flexable.

Fall back energy to 10 i liked, seeing as 15 energy seemed to much for it.

Personally i dont like Heart Of Shadow now. It seems more like a nerf, because I know lots of assassins used this BEFORE battle so if they get spiked they heal a little of the damage.

Scorpion Wire , i dont even understand why this skill is in. Seeing as you have to literally run away in the time given.

Glad that Heavens Delight will have a use now.

And Sight Beyond Sight seemed a bit pointless. Seeing as all you need is like a +20% enchant and then it would last until recharge'd
