Big Ambushes!
Initiative - 4/5 points

It is very nice to get these points at the start of a fight. 3 points from Cheap Shot is WoW! 2 points off a 500 point Ambush crit ensures that the +level mob is going down soon.
Improved Sap - 3/3 points
Adds a 90% chance to return to stealth mode after using your Sap ability.
This is a super ability. I use it alot in instance so far. Remember to always sap the caster ;) Melee types chase, casters just stand there and nuke the party. You are stealthed out to the mobs because no one wants you to be seen for a reason!
Preparation - 1/1 point When activated, this ability immediately finishes the cooldown on your other Rogue abilities.
I've had this for a while now. I rarely use it :( I should use it more or switch out to Imp SS.
