Auto throw? Thats not overrated at all.

I'd have to agree. Bouncing in and out of fights to use it is a VERY viable tactic... takes quick keyboard work, but it's very effective.

I'm not going to say it isn't good, but EVERYONE picks it, and having used 3 of the select skills at 50, I think people look at some of the less obvious ones and say "Hey, that's not a free demolish, it must not be any good". But they're all good. Except one.

In a good fight its down to 100 hp on either side, those freebies hurt. When your both at pretty hurt, and sanc drops....

In a better fight, you can kill them before they have a chance to hit back, or get the upper hand through mals. But I know what you're saying. I just think it shouldn't be an automatic choice, all the other selects give big bonuses to different playstyles.

Oh, I also agree that the others are perfectly viable. I took it on my last ninja honestly because it fit the RP best... I would've rather taken Lotus Scourge as a player, just because I haven't really seen it in action since 1.0 and I'm curious how it is now.

I dont consider when you slaughter someone in two rounds a good fight...I consider it a free win.

A "good" fight in my mind is one where you both think your ognna die, you both fight to the wire and one of you wins by a minut margin.

Two rounds? I was talking about 0 rounds, i.e. two of the other ninja select skills that aid in assassination.
