I'm way too lazy to search for that. Link or die.

And no I don't need a shadowstep, cuz I'm in it's face. I can do that, because there's an Imbagon with me. Otherwise I'd be running MS/DB with SY! myself.

Could have at least backed me up on [i am the strongest]

EDIT: oooh, that one. Too bad the chain takes up so much room, I always like to abuse PvE skills

Shadow fang, sad that the crappest offensive shadowstep became the best coz anet sucks at nerfing.

The words 'powerful' and 'enough' shouldn't ever be in the same sentence.

bobby is right. shadowstepping in pve is lame. the AI doesnt react to something running up to it like a actual player would. IF ur gonna shadowstep in pve....use [aura of displacement], but then thats a wasted elite slot in pve...

Hanging out in frontlines is never a good idea for a sin that doesnt have a good monk behind it, or atleast critical agility.

You guys misunderstand the way the build I posted works and the reasoning for why it is setup the way it is.

The Shadow Step covers Assassins Promise from being removed and allows for teleport in, spike target dead with quarterknock, teleport out back to relative safety style gameplay. The instant recharge and energy gain means you can instantly teleport back in and teleport out over and over again. Rinse and repeat. Why waste time running up to your target to hex them twice (you should always cover Assassins Promise) and then run around after them to complete your chain when you can teleport in and out and actually be effective doing it?

Aura of Displacement is a waste of an elite slot because it is negated by enchantment removal, which is more common than hex removal in PvE and has no positive effect if removed (ie: Deep Wound on target from Shadow Fang). Not to mention it has lengthy downtime if removed early with no way to quickly recharge it, has aftercast, and is a maintainable enchantment lowering your overall energy gain when attacking. The mechanics of Shadow Fang when paired with Assassins Promise are far stronger when used in conjunction together.

Try the build before bashing the way it works, you'll be very pleasantly surprised at how well it works in the right enviroment.

Yeah, only shadow step that gives dw and has no aftercast + more powerful combo and a free slot.

Thought you'd be the last person I'd have to tell Shadow Fang's DW is irrelevant >.>

Anyways, KDs = juice. Ain't gonna argue that. But how is that combo more powerful? I mean, I could also swap out a PvE skill for rez, but moar power = gud.

Also, read up. I ain't running this unless an Imbagon takes care of me. Shadowsteps are for those with <170AL.
