Definition

Assassin's Focus is a mechanic that was added to the game in Issue 22 as part of a revision of the Stalker Archetype. In addition to Assassin's Focus, the Assassin Strike attack can now be used while not hidden and will not have an interrupt time under that condition.

Primary Stalker attacks have a chance of granting a 10-second "stack" of Assassin's Focus, up to 3 stacks simultaneously. Each stack increases the likelihood that the Assassin Strike power will deal critical damage if used while not hidden by 33.3%. A successful, non-hidden critical hit of Assassin Strike will deal approximately two-thirds that of a hidden Assassin Strike. Regardless of whether the critical hit succeeds, use of the Assassin Strike attack will remove any active stacks of Assassin's Focus.
