What is the point of spectral dash or waters of lorien?

[Mez Koo]

I got the cloak that allows me to spectral dash or use waters of Lorien for no focus but the dash feels clunky in combat and it feels useless to dash for stealth since I can just use elven agility anyway.

Am I missing something game changing or are the two skills/perks just lackluster?

If you got time for a video, I enjoy watching this channel and they use the dash really well with different equipment.

Prefer to use the shadow dominate skill instead. Also we can still use shadow execution without that skill "just not kill more than 1 at time. So still fits/serves it's main purpose = transfer to a better vantage point very quickly / and take out a pesky archer in same time!
= 2 birds with one stone :P

edit: after you completed the final final quest after the long ending cut scene, enemies will take much longer time to dominate so you really want to use that skill at this point

Spectral dash is blink in stealth, waters of lorien is blink instead of dodge.

Worse skill: ghuls summoning. Some get burned by the explosion+ they are useless.
Or the trap one (trigger flea nest, cage etc when someone go close) , yeah you can play smart but what is the point xd.
The talon Strike, why if we have elemental damaging skills xd (+ i always forget this one in action xd).
Lol, monster killer, the time you get it beasts shouldnt be an issue anymore xd (same with insta dominate no broken cara, maybe just good if you always 1 shot them but can summon it and a little arrow in the side shouldnt kill it...)

Its annoying, lot of players probably feel compelled to get all those subskills before reaching the bonus in end game. Wasteful.

Waters of Lorien is for vault breaker orcs or ones that adapt to you jumping over them. Instead you dash through them. Is actually one of the most valuable skills in the game.

[Deathwarp6]

If you have fatal might selected the dash allows you to gain might as it counts as a hit.

Waters of Lorien is actually really good. You can kill shield orcs by dash behind them then stab in the back. Also about the only way to damage shielded arrow proof vault breaker captains. Unfortunately with such high focus cost it's almost unusable until the endgame when you have the cloak for unlimited use.

Don't be fooled: Waters of Lorien (+Mask of Undying) is essential when playing on difficulty Nemesis or above, or playing Ranked Conquest against 777 orcs. Spectral Dash is OG too

[Froof]

As others have said, its a requirement, if not for vault breaker orcs, for the damage recieved from mask of the undying

The only use for ghuls is if you spotted an enemy captain terrified or dazed by them, otherwise they are beyond worthless

I play on the highest difficulty level and it's unrealistic to play without these two skills. Quick dashing while sneaking allows you to quickly eliminate enemies, and when you fight without stealth, you can not dodge but pass through enemies, raising your power and not wasting your concentration. This is 2 top skills and the best mask in the game. It also increases the damage after a ghostly jerk in combat for 5 seconds
