I have a 14th level Elf two weapon fighting Ranger and was looking for ways to improve her survivability and noticed that one of the things with the Dragonmark of Shadow is Displacement. As I understand this, I would have to be a Elf of course and take the Least Dragonmark of Shadow feat and the Lesser Dragonmark of Shadow feat in order to use the Displacement effect. When used the Displacement would last almost a minute and a half at 14th level and can be cast two times a day unless I use AP's to buy up to four more times per day for a total of six uses per day. Also if I did take the Greater Dragonmark of Shadow I would be able to use the Displacement even one more time (total of 7 uses) plus I pick up the Shadow Wald effect.
First off is this all correct in practice??
Also, is there a cooldown timer to use the marks and if so how long is it? I'm also wondering how Shadow Walk works. The descriptions says "allows you to move faster and makes you harder to hit but ends if you interact with objects or attack.". Does casting a spell on yourself or going into sneak mode break the effect?? Also how much faster does it let you move and how much harder are you to be hit? My thinking here is could Shadow Walk allow a player to leave an area if he's the last man standing after a party wipe so she could eventually return out of Shadow Walk to rez party members.
And lastly, anyone who has tried these feats can you comment on weather you thought they were worth the cost and please comment on anything I may not have asked about the Shadow Dragonmarks but should know.
I thank you in advance.
