The new stun aura in Energy Aura has no self damage right?
Doesn't interrupt me while placing a Trip Mine on my Merc/Traps/Soul Mastery, so I'd assume it wouldn't stop the AS from going through.

I tested it a bit more. CE will not interrupt (I thought it would) but you can't get Hidden status so if you do Placate + AS, you only get the normal damage.

And yeah CE is still very good. It is a bit hard to use it with Placate that's all. It does seem to tic much faster.

What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.
