I've been seeing hdins in pvp games faded somehow.

As the title says, I've been seeing some hammerdins in pvp games lately that have the (assassin) fade going on. How is this done, and WHY is it done? I notice these guys teleporting around as well. Are they switching armors up, using that 1.11 sin-specialized armor long enough to get hit and trigger fade then putting up their Enigma for the duel? Thoughts on this?

They have prebuffed with the Armor threachary or Last wish.
Thoughts: Well.... it has always been like this, only now some more has got the knowledge.

and WHY is it done

If you read what fade does, you would know the answers.

It increases your resistances and damage reduction %.

They usually slap on treachery and go out without a shield (for less defense) and get smacked around a little until fade casts. Once fade has been casted (from the armor), they go back to town, slap on their nigma and shield, and duel with the resists and dr from fade.

Not too many pubbies knows this.. and why?
You can't read in the skill description ;/
