To answer Ultarium's question sent via PM: my build depends on what I'm doing.

General:
Shadow Refuge - GPS - Critical - MB - DB - Crit. Agil. - [Optional] - Rez

Glass Cannon:
GPS - Critical - Moebius - DB - TF - HotO - Crit. Agil. - Rez

Melee Farm:
GPS - Crit - Moebius - DB - Mystic Regen. - WoP - Crit. Def. - Crit. Agil.
GPS - Crit - Moebius - BoS - Myistc Regen. - WoP - Crit. Def. - Crit. Agil.*


Those are my most commonly run builds. Then there are L-O-D builds for variety, niche builds for stripping enchants, stances, and interrupting, more niche farming builds like A/E Sliver... Even though I've only got 4 characters, I've got a build folder for every class. I think everybody should.

*I've found that, while BoS means that I don't get AoE damage, I get more drops because I'm not killing people as quickly. I don't know if this is supposed to be the case or I'm just imagining things, but it feels like I make more profit when I'm not killing everybody at the same time (or in a short time period) because of AoE damage. This lets me kill one baddy at a time efficiently (BoS does more damage running that chain than DB does), Moebius recharges, lulz. It's also solid with spike heals from Moebius - Crit Strike if I want it.

I haven't read any of this, coz i'm too lazy.
But I find that using Shadow Meld or Aura of Displacement increases an assassin's Survival rate massively.
It removes the need for a self heal, and when you are under too much pressure, just remove the enchantment (:

If I knew, I would have made a thread asking why. We all love you, Yanman.

What kind of quality do you mean? I saw SotiCoto banned, could that have something to do with the quality of his threads?

He was pretty much making pointless threads, trying to prove points that have been known to be incorrect, and so hard trying not to troll, that it actually was a troll.

He posts rather... pointless and meaningless crap. Most of it is just trolling, stupidity, and flame bait all rolled into two or three sentences.

Nothing to suggest really as I've been using this build for ages as well

Quote:
Critical Agility (+20 armor and 33% faster attacks, can be replaced with Vital Boon or Way of Perfection for those with low Sunspear rank)
Critical Defenses (staple, must have this is the main thing keeping you in the fight)
Mystic Regeneration (or Way of Perfection, I cant make up my mind)
Golden Fox Stike (unblockable +26 damage attack)
Wild Strike (unblockable +30 damage attack)
Critical Strike (automatic renewal of Critical Agility and Critcal Defenses)
Moebius Strike
Death Blossom
I trust you have Darkroot's Daggers or the like to go along with it?

Aww some of you missed me >.> but an assassin must be cold and unfeeling or some garbage like that .

In any case Sorry you got trolled banned once upon a time yan.

The chain
Golden Fox strike
Wild strike
Critical strike
Moebius strike
Death blossom
is 5 skills long.
Shorten it to 4...or stop the entire moebius idea.

Sins dont use a 5 length attack chain. Just take GPS.
Use that extra slot for utility, Disrupting dagger/ Dark escape./Deaths retreat.
To lazy to read again so im guessing its 8 earth prayers right?
Thats - 3 regen. and +9 regen in total 18 hp a second.
By using GPS CS MS DB and critical agility, with 8 shadow arts instead you get 50 something hp from Way of Perfection, and another 26/27/28? hp for random crits. And With removing GFS you can add critical eye. Way of Perfection can POSSIBLY, give you far more hp then mystic regen, however it does not help against degen.
If the degen isn't heavy (like only -3/4/ maybe -5) or if the degen isn't long (Rare Burning, not frequent) take Way of Perfection.
Solution is to take depending on your pve location.
Okay?

Wether you are Homosexual or Straight, we don't prejudice on Guru.

Except against Vultures (the Animal)...Penguins will always come before Vultures.

Anyways.

I can't find what you are quoting in the topic. Did you post in the wrong thread?

Ok, the chain being 5 long, because its that long when I am pve I can switch targets much faster rather than wait to start the chain on a new target, plus the critical strike attack is an instant restart on my critical agility/defence along with it giving me a much needed boost in energy after I spam DB and Moebius for a while. I dont need to get away with dark escape or deaths retreat either with what I have, its usualy better to die then run anyway, by the time I regen with what you suggest the enemies will have recharged as well. As for the just putting it in Shadow arts idea, if I do that then dgen can be a pain, but since I put it on an 18hp per second, dgen is laughable at any ammount. Besides if I put it in shadow arts, way of perfection only works on criticals, so when the fights done and you have degen plus your low on health, bye bye sin, trip over. My guy is just a lot more sturdy than a shadow arts defence style, my one skill replaces WOP and shadow refuge, making my character ready to go into a new place and still be able to hold up no matter what the situation(less down time in town fixing skills).
