Tricks of the Trade

[Chronosplit]

Let's talk about this a bit. While ethereal runes have the potential to make the invis penalty reduction pretty nice, there's two issues I have with it.

1. Stealth. Neither Rogue or Shadowblade have this locked. Granted there's Adventurer, but perhaps if someone doesn't have the tree at all they should learn it locked at 1.0?

2. Scoundrel mastery. Since you even get the tree and a couple of talents from a thief escort at 1.0, this shouldn't be 0.9 anymore. In fact, since we have access to this tree otherwise maybe this should be replaced with something else? I mean, Scoundrel is great but wouldn't this be better placed in Worldly Knowledge? Either way, the strategy for this seems to be to unlock the escort tree with a cat point before getting this prodigy (and even then, hello Adept).
