Default PVE speed sin

ok, normally i wouldnt do this. but.. im going to share a build..
first up, a skill list
1- golden fox strike
2-golden fang strike <OR wild strike of stance heavy>
3-death blossom
4-"I am the strongest!"
5-asuran scan
6-critical eye
7-way of the assassin{e}
8-critical agility <or critical defense for safety>

stats, 12+3+1 critical strike, 12+1 dagger mastery
<recommended rank 5+ asuran and norn titles, higher is better


in hard mode i have personally hit for over 100 with the lead attack, 70-90 with offhand, and 160+ <per hit> with death blossom.

most dont live through the first combo, casters especially, warriors can hardly stand 2 chains. bosses are 2-4 depending on their skills and class

with rank 8 lightbringer, 15% <any mod>, 20% from customize, 45-75% from scan, possible 150% damage output +14-20 from IATS. and very high critical rate. damage potential is through the roof

if you have questions, ign- Asguard Of Cantha. recommendations welcome <note the recharge on attacks first (4 second kills)>

Not bad but it could be better

Here's a hint: [way of the assassin] < [moebius strike]

I have a few comments or suggestions:

1. You don't need 16 critical strikes, in fact that is too much. 14 Dagger, 13 critical strikes is a superior attribute distribution.
2. Way of the assassin + critical agility is redundant. Keep Critical agility and trash WotA.
3. Add Moebius Strike. Consider Club of a Thousand Bears.

Overall pretty good, but some changes would improve it.

you can't raise your attack speed over 33%
so if you're using [critical agility], [Way of the assassin] is a waste of your elite slot

OMG HOW DO YOU HIT SO HIGH?? Maybe b/c you have Asuran scan....and how is this build different from the PvE sin builds we see nowadays? Unless you were the original user of Asuran scan in a high dmg assassin build, this build is nothing special(although I don't think it's on pvx wiki yet)

actually by the time u use death blossom they are dead... MS is useless in a build like this

and WoTA is used for the crit chance..... and i find it hard to believe there's a 33% speed cap on melee..

like i said, in hard mode nothing lasts through more than 2 chains, and the attacks recharge fast enough without MS....

and since WoTA basically does nothing for you, you might as well use MS and use DB more

and this is why you get flamed.
there is a 33% ias cap. this is a fact.
your build is a less effective version of the typical ms/db build. this is a fact.
edit: lol, mostly the 33% ias thing. wtf, you think after 3 years this cap might just be a rumor?

especially since it's obvious you've still got a lot to learn

belive it because there is ,except if it comes from a direct skill,ias wont stack beyond 33%,same goes for Ims(increased movement speed) it wont go pass 33% i think unless coming form a single skill like dash which is 50%,there was a time if im not mistaken when necro orders stacked an people used to run Iway with double orders and the ias they had stacked with the one from iway.

MS>>>>>>>>> WotA

13 crt
14 dagger

lose the superior rune.

Basically what you've posted is a less effective version of this.

I had to read the last part of that post 4 times before it made much sense ^^.

Slightly Off-Topic - I saw a Warrior use IWAY in RA earlier, to make it worse - he had no fallen allies.

But yeah, MS+Death Blossom is a much more effective build imho.

why not just use critical agility and use a more useful elite?

Not really that many elites out there besides mobius strike. I still think you should get MS instead of wota. Because then if your fighting a boss you can continue chaining deathblossom without wasting time with the other attack skills.

I tested this variant on Isle of Nameless on the 100 suit of armour.

[unsuspecting strike][golden fang strike][death blossom][moebius strike][asuran scan][critical eye][critical agility][sunspear rebirth signet]

Attributes were:

Dagger Mastery 12+1+1
Critical Strikes 12+1

Weapon was:

Tormented Daggers, 15^50%, 20/20, +30, customized.

Surprisingly it took the armour down by Death Blossom, my Asuran rank is maximum. So maybe you could leave out Moebius Strike and run something else in your bar, with your secondary proffession left wide open.
