Ninja vanish bugs

eva1988

I've found that using ninja vanish while in combat will lock your movement at the same speed you were moving during combat until you exit ninja vanish; which renders it almost useless as an escape power when you have teleport, or tunneling for example.

Also, not really a bug, but it seems to move extremely slowly even out of combat, despite it being called a " travel power" i'd never consider using it for traveling. It is strange because teleport is faster, and can fly, with slow fall, and ninja vanish is stuck on the ground, but slower. I was wondering if this was intentional or not.

Something else i'd consider a bug, whether is is related to ninja vanish i'm uncertain. After using ninja vanish it sometimes locks my health in place, and it will not return, even when out of combat, and not using ninja vanish.

It moves slower than rank 1 acrobatics at rank 3 ninja vanish, this is not a bug but how the power works..which is a bit silly really..I needs to be faster..

Ninja Vanish will move slowly if you enter combat than poof out, this is annoying when trying to get away from a difficult situation, not really conceptual at all as ninja's need to be fast..when in danger..not slow..

Ninja Vanish's ONLY advantage is the CD when in battle. The issue of no interaction with anything is the teleport side of the power. The health issue is just a bug which is most likely being excesserbated by the travel power.

I still have no idea why they didn't just make this a ninja friendly reskin of teleport... I was actually going to buy it until I learned it was just a horrible horrible form of temporary acrobatics that was worse than acrobatics in every way.

Uhhh.. no. There are no acrobatics to it. You simply walk. Very very slowly when you activate it. It's just invisibility with a poof. I don't know what you guys are talking about with the acrobatics stuff. I've tried it at rank 3 in the PH and it's nothing but a poof and walking for a few seconds this morning.

I think it's just plain broken.

It needs to be poof-teleport (like the description indicates) without the silly black and white IMHO.

It certainly isn't as fast as acro, but it *does* boost your run speeds and jump height. I have it at R3 on an alt, and it is at least equal to R1 acro, (if not f a little faster).

Yep, it's just a really slow acro, pathetically slow in fact when you phase. Great animation going into it... only thing nice about the power.

Its on Live. People have paid for it. It will never change unless for the worse.

R3 (+120%) is faster than Acro R2 (+112%) BUT it does not ever gain speed out of combat boosts nor can you charge it up so it stays slow.
