So pvx is my friend!

I looked at this build

[build=OwZTkY/8ZS6jHRnBZgHKVMXEAA]

I like it but I don't see how you give damage out. What I am not seeing? I am wonder is there any better variants that include death blossom.

I have zealous talon dagger's and maxed all my armor with insignias to increase my energy, yet I am not at a point of having 'by urals hammer' and 'ebon battle standard of honor'

My question is what are some better variants sticking to A/E?

----------------edit-----------------------
I have seen the variants through pvx, not pleased with them. I need your input.

Well a build like that is for farming, you wouldn't use something like that for normal pve. The damage from the build comes from sliver armor and with the two damage buffs and alot of enemies attacking, they can drop quite quickly. For basic pve on a sin I would suggest using a normal MS/DB build, which you can find on some of the threads below this.

EDIT: The build I usually use and the one that I like is

[Golden Fox Strike][Wild Strike][Death Blossom][Moebius Strike][Brawling Headbutt][Save Yourselves! (Luxon)][Critical Agility][Critical Eye]

If you are farming solo though, I believe there is a perma build that uses dagger attacks including death blossom

I am plannning a farming build template for my game.

so the above farming build you posted is pretty good. sliver+2 damage buffing skills=a lot of damage as long as foes are attacking you.

Its slow but it works

As long as you have [glyph of swiftness][deadly paradox][shadow form], you can set up the rest of your bar however you want for damage. The better your build, the faster it will kill. Keeping [Shadow Form] up until the enemies are dead is what it's all about.

I think he doesn't know that [[sliver armor] works with shadowform

I think you hit the nail on the head.

Also Op, you should also meet my friend Youtube. He and I and PvXwiki hang out sometimes, tea and crumpets and the like.

...where has this guy been, under a rock for the past 6 months? Sliver is the damage if you actually read the skills and tried the build 0o

more like the past 2 years :P Sliver armor has been in use for farming for ages

Or it could be that he's a noob like me and wanted some genuine input from experienced players - I've never heard of silver armor, either and in looking at the build I was confused about how an appreciable amount of damage would be dealt to enemies. (Aside from feebly waving your daggers menacingly in the enemy's direction) Admittedly, I did not carefully read the silver armor description. (Note his join date is 12/2008, too.)

you only have to be the target of a spell or attack for sliver armor to trigger. so itll trigger while youre under shadow form. (clarification for anyone else)

perma dagger builds became inferior with the damage reduction nerf and even slower to kill anything with the duration nerf. With the time you spend auto attacking your energy back up, you might get 1-2 chains of attack skills in between casts of sf.
