Greetings, all! This is Lazy Rocktime speaking, your resident EXOtic and all-around cute guy here with this week's Hidden Gem Spotlight.
I think you all know very well that there are some great builds (and builders) out there that sadly do not obtain the recognition they deserve. It is for this reason that the HGS exists, and this week, we come forth with...The Ebony Shadow by deathmetus! He is a criminally underrated builder with quite a few outstanding builds to his name. The Ebony Shadow is no different.
This build puts a twist into the monotonous sneak archer playstyle in the form of Heavy Armor. Donning a full set of Ebony Armor and bringing death from afar while in the safeguard of the shadows is quite a fulfilling experience. The backstory and roleplay is also quite well-written, and the build boasts alternative playstyles, an Easy and Hard mode, if you will. The former uses optimal combinations of racial bonuses to create the perfect (if not mainstream) assassin. The other encourages you to think like an assassin and utilize your own grasp of stealth to the fullest.
Whichever one suits your taste is of course in the eye of the beholder, but one cannot deny that the Ebony Shadow is a marvelous build and definitely worth giving a look-see and a like ^3^!

Anyway, I've done a double post for today - but could I ask the Hidden Gem 'hosts' to let me have their stuff by the middle of the week please?
