well its been stated before skills like keen chop where added to be used by sins. So crit strikes was designed to be used with other weapon types as well.

wow... people fail. sins are fine, this build isnt even that great. the damage isn't ridiculous and the crit chance isn't 100%.

has anyone even noticed that MS/DB is still better?

Mobious Strike and Death Blossom is good for fighting bosses... not really for frenzying afflicted in factions....

then there is something about wielding a scythe that makes it so much more leet than holding two butter knives in your hand


EDIT: maxed out asuran scan looks interesting... additional 75% dmg xD... OP

you mean Dragonic? or Surian?.... both look lame and small imo... I think the Tengu scythe is huge and matches my armor...

the only decent scythe out of tengu is the clockwork scythe....

daggers is boring after a while... especially with all the throw dirt rangers in factions.... assassins remedy ftw

the skills Way of the Assassin and Way of the Master clearly indicate that the assassin class was meant to use other weapons besides daggers... skills like Malicious Strike being a melee attack just enforce this conclusion.
so whats the problem with non dagger using assassins?

When I see "I'm using Healing Breeze on Eternal Was Shadows"... i rather give up on those monks... i'm better off with hero hench...

I need assassin's remedy to remove weakness caused by Weary Strike before Mystic Sweep hits.

Metroid, this is the sexy part of the build.

That said I never run ScytheSins. In PvP, there's no Critical Agility - so I'd always be dissapointed by what is in my mind only 66% damage output. In PvE, SY! > all A/D's.

If you are testing on low level mobs, you will likely get 100% crit chance. Test it on the lvl 20 npcs in the isle of nameless, and you will find you get a fair number of normal hits.

This is one thing I absolutely love about assassins, they're practically designed to be able to use any and every martial weapon to deadly effect.

None can match 'em when they use their native daggers, but with skills like [wiki]Way of the Master[/wiki], [wiki]Keen Chop[/wiki], [wiki]Keen Arrow[/wiki], [wiki]Disrupting Accuracy[/wiki] & [wiki]Vicious Attack[/wiki] Assassins can now wield any weapon as well as (and in some cases better) than their native class. Truley sins are the weapon masters

unlike him i did test it out in the isle of the nameless while doing homework

large computer screens ftw.

anyway i have seen the math in and in theory they are right, but in fact i found that either i got really lucky and got all crits for an hour or its just that way.

so as far as i have seen

theory-impossible to 100% crit
in practice-really easy to 100% crit
