It's certainly solid enough...seems to me like Fox's Promise is a wasted elite in PvE however, since you'll encounter very few enemies that you'd need it for

Considering you can just bring a hero with anti block, I would replace Fox's Promise with Seeping Wound or Flashing Blades because then you can have some decent defence with Flashing Blades and more degen and a hex for Seeping Wound which is 1337 for discord teams : )

How about Moebius strike for Moebius + Death Blossom chain?
Do you need full radiant set-up? Seems like having 13 in crit strikes and zealous dagger would be enough to keep your energy up.

Default wat r Stickiez

Basic frame:

[empty][empty][death [email protected]][moebius [email protected]][empty][empty][critical agility][empty]

What I'm using atm:

[black mantis [email protected]][wild [email protected]][death [email protected]][moebius [email protected]][save yourselves][critical [email protected]][critical agility][asuran scan]
(Swapping SY! out for whatever's handy if someone else is covering it)

People's preferences regarding Lead/Off-hand attacks differ but [jagged strike] is just awful. Let it die somewhere.

Also, [critical defenses] and [mystic regeneration] only help if
A - you overextend
B - your Monk(s) suck
C - you've made the foolish decision of running Radiants

For everyday PvE, i usually use this...
[Way of the Assassin][Golden Fox Strike][Wild Strike][Death Blossom][Asuran Scan]["I Am The Strongest!"]["By Urals Hammer!"][Optional]

High dmg output. You could replace WotA with a dif elite and put in Critical agility.

For the optional...You could put in Brutal Weapon for even more dmg, or a res.

Me doesnt liek your build, best thing a sin can have in pve is MS/DB so stick to it, thats first thing. If you go against blocking stuff and enchies take a shattersin which is very powerful in that case and is unblockable too but everything other than that, scythesins, swordsins, hammersins, sins with wota or FP are pretty poor.

You can swap Critical Eye for Critical Strike for more on demand energy management if you need it.

In areas where stance blocking isn't an issue take Save Yourselves instead of Wild Blow.

Well I have a Paragon so...

Also I prefer not having to restart my chain to remove a stance in areas full of stance blocking, and Wild Blow nets me back like 5 energy so it technically costs me 0 energy to use compared to 8 energy to remove a stance using Golden Fox Strike -> Wild Strike, taking the use of zealous daggers into account.

It's all preference at the end of the day, I care less what others think about something that works quite well for me.

Also I can say screw Ressurection Signets, I'm a glass cannon anyway, and take both Wild Blow and Save Yourselves. The loss of adrenaline is easily made up quickly enough. My guild is not so bad that they can't live without +100al for a few seconds.

Stuff doesnt use blocking stances right away more like when they are almost dead so it doesnt matter, actually fox+wild is much faster way to finish it off in that case thanks to +damage.

screw res sigs!!!!!! D:<

+100al helps I'd rather have that heck I dont care about uberfast stance removal or deepwpund much when I pve wtf as if 100 damage on one target once would matter as opposed to aggroing shizloads of stuff and kieling them swiftly.

I don't. If we need +100al on the whole party I'll be useful and take my Paragon as it can also spread other incredible partywide damage mitigation, aswell as party wide damage buffs.

So restart your chain on a near dead target then restart it again on the next target, great way to waste your damage potential when you can just Wild Blow -> back into double strike damage spam from where you left off.

No valid point here. If you want to use Mending, be my guest.

That's what I typically run on my sin. Main reason I have jagged instead of a weaker skill is because I would rather have the target die faster (monk for ex) than drawing it out for the AoE, because it's not too hard to restart the moebisu chain which takes 4 seconds total to reset lol.
