Dear Skyrimmers!

Yesterday I got the perk Shadow Warrior.
It seemed like a great perk at first glance, however it has proven most unsatisfactory.
Frankly, it takes me, with 100 sneak skill as well as a 15% increased sneaking ring and 4/5 improved sneaking, 10 to 20 "restealths" eg uses of shadow warrior to make enemies turn around and look the other way.
When that happens I am lucky if I get a increased damage sneak hit, this happens very rarely.

I'm in awe to how worthless this perk actually is and that there doesnt seem to be a fix yet.
I've tried removing and relearning the perk via PC commands which did nothing at all.

Any suggestions?

You are using it wrong, is my opinion. Shadow Warrior is not an invisibility spell. It's a chance to bewilder your opponent and slip away. Time your crouches to let you slip behind cover or use it right after a successful backstab on one NPC to get around behind another. You can also run off crouching/uncrouching and thus disappearing/reappearing and time your last crouch to hide behind something.

I use this perk all the time and I love it. It's one of the most entertaining ways to play that I have found yet.
