Default Solo Build, Would this work?

... now that shadow form doesn't require a second class to make maintainable. I was thinking that you could make a 55 Sin with shadow form and protective spirit. With two Sin enchantments that gives a damage reduction of 10 when you can only get hit 5 with protective spirit.


Has anyone tried this, or is there an error in my theory?

Isn't an invincible build such as this one something that arena net was trying to correct?

Shadow Form itself is an Assassin enchantment. You only need SF and PS.

Also, Farming Section is down there

don't make assumptions about real results of your theory and then blame ANet for them...

holy wrath cannot be cast on the caster now so that that wouldnt work. In theory this build is nothing more than a 55/105 monk with perma-spell invincibility without damage ability because of shadow form's damage reduction. Plus any pbaoe or non-spell based life steal would kill you instantly.

Also I hear the damage migitation is before PS, so it wont be invincible.

It also doesn't work because SF checks the damage reduction before PS. You can however cycle things like SoA/Shielding Hands behind it to see a lot of zeros.

I was under the impression that we were trying to avoid the tank and spank/Speed Clear scenario again. For the sake of SF's role in these... it hasn't changed, it may have even gotten easier.

I like the update it did address many other issues, but i was under the impression that this was one of those issues.

What would make since to me...is spell-break stop spells.. and shadow form stop physical attacks... neither of them cast-able on another ally.

doesn't work, SF takes place before PS so you'd have to take shielding hands / SoA to nullify the dmg, meaning you're stuck as an A/Mo with around 10 attributes in sf, about 10 in protection prayers, and no dmg.
