This build is very good for an assassin in PvE:

I switch out the lead and the offhand for Unsuspecting Strike and Fox Fangs... However there are obvious benefits to braxtons

In areas where enemies don't tend to block attacks, I use Jagged Strike and Fox Fangs. The faster activation means a lot when trying to get a chain up and running.

I'd suggest this variant:

It replaces your 3 first attack moves with one, enabling you to start-up the DB/MS-chain. I filled the other 2 slots with a damage increasing and critical healing skill.

However, it does increase your dependance of enchantments, because you cannot start your chain without one. But normally you have 2 up before engaging in combat, which recharge on critical hit and optionally 1 when healing.

If you aren't facing a lot of blocking Stances/Enchants then GPS is fine, but if you miss GPS for whatever reason you're left sitting for 8 seconds before it recharges and you can get your chain rolling again...

GPS variant kinda looks like a melee mob farming build ...... in fact i think i used something like that to farm some item from nick.

rick1027 · Jan 08, 2010, 12:36 AM // 00:36

im gonna try em all but the crit scythe dont want to go that way yet may try that in the future i just like playing assassin like they originally meant to be played.. the gps intrigues me but all i wanted was to change up my build some and the others look more like things ill try in different area.. thanks for all the replies so far i do appreciate them.. forgot to mention this is a survivor level two and ive not done anything special to help it along ive made it through factions so far without deaths gonna try the other campaigns probabaly wont make it but hey ive played four years almost 5 gotta shake something up a little

just like to add on that...with how quick things die in PvE even if you do hit with your GPS and DB but somewhere between DB and moebius the enemy dies? Your again stuck with an 8 second recharge which could very well be the length of the battle...

Thanks for the add End. If playing in NM (which most ppl that I know don't even bother with anymore) enemy mobs are going to 'splode too quickly. In HM that shouldn't be a problem.

Well, you do have to go for fresh targets to get most use out of it (this goes for all varieties), so I can't completely disagree with you. However, using GPS you can all but forget about following up on spikes - chances of Moebius connecting on a Discord target are pretty slim.

If you were running with a Discordway setup why would you not be running an AP Caller bar?

Back On-Topic (this is not a Discordway Thread, we have far too many of those already, lol):

Assassins should be looking for fresh targets all the time regardless. I know that I have a habit of calling a Target for Teammates/Heroes/Henchman and then changing targets so that I don't get screwed out of my chain/combos.

Because Blossom spamming is nowhere near as boring.

you use dash and agility together havent seen that figured dash would be overkill.. i dont do the discord thing not with my assassin.. i tried the gps thing and didnt like it as much as it sounded. i like braxton bar it works well for me with the save yourselves in their hadnt thought of that on a sin i was looking at exhausting and might sub it in and out with wild strike depending on what foes im facing
