Default Purely Fun 1v1 build or RA

Atributes are good as long as you have around 12 dagger 8 critical and you need around 11 shadow arts for it to work efficiently.

Shadow of Haste

Dash/Burst of Aggression

Scorpion Wire

Falling Spider

Horns of the Ox

Moebius Strike

Twisting Fangs

Shadow Refuge/Feigned Neutrality

Distinguish your target...
Use shadow of haste long before you get to the target. Once you can, use Scorpion Wire. When ready use dash. This will send you far away from them, triggering scorpion wire. Immediately go into your combo of FS TF MS and HoO. To avoid missing Falling spider you must use it immediately after dash.

The build is fun because you confuse the target and you get to teleport alot.

using Burst skips the Horns of the Ox knockdown so when using Burst you should use Twisting Fangs and then Moebius then Horns

Edit your posts instead of adding a reply.


Your build pretty much sucks...you can only start a combo every 45 seconds, and if you don't use SoH, your target can simply stay in range and own you..

I'm sorry, I don't understand you. I'm not familiar with PvE lingo.

Ok, I think I understand how the build works, but Yanman is right: 45 seconds downtime? No go.

It looks like fun simply. I wouldn't call it a great build due to the Shadow of haste nerf yet I wouldn't mind trying this out in a skirmish for entertainment.

For all intents and purposes, he is calling you gay. ^_^

It doesn't make him right... nor is it even relevant in the slightest if you want to be with other men (and its your choice to do so)....

But thats about the long and the short of it.


Incidentally... the build is funny. Starting off a combo by running in the other direction seems hilarious to me... especially considering there is a good possibility of messing up (especially if they remove hexes) and the entire combo is shut down for an extended duration. Like... what is the point in even having Horns of the Ox if you've got Moebius Strike and Twisting Fangs in there? You shouldn't need to start the combo over again.

Interesting... but no thanks.

Yes, the purpose was for fun. Thank you Seraph...

It was not for the purpose of faction farming. As crap as it may sound, its not. If you don't kill a target, you can pursue him constantly by using moebius and the two dual attacks but you have to time them right or your 15 seconds will end and you will need to start the combo over.

And for those of you who just constantly bash builds that you dont try out, you can use shock instead of shadow refuge and use dash if you used Burst.

I do not have to try out builds to rate them, unless they use totally new game mechanics.

Your build is too conditional, and the recharge times make the baby Jesus cry.

I don't doubt the damage, but I do doubt the usefulness of a 'sin who will be auto-attacking or running around aimlessly for that much time.

i think it would look hysterical xD

Person 1: I'm attacking ___!
Person 2 (the sin): Here I go! *starts teleporting and moving all over the place*
Everyone: o____O
Me: xDDDD

lol i think it looks kinna fun to use to just sorta mess around and just laugh xD popping in and out, darting here and there...

teehee.

I would be careful if you used this around groups, but it sounds like you wouldn't do it without telling them or in actual PuG. Would probably do it with some other people to goof around with ^^

But that's how it sounds to me and it still sounds fun and hysterical xD!

Don't bash the build, I like it.

It's good you're using uncommon skills, because the enemy is probably too used to the "normal" combo and has brought the right counters... plus it's fun.

Try going into pvp/pve with only the 8 faction only shadow step skills and you can have a fun time, allies are too busy fighting to notice you're teleporting around doing pretty much nothing. (You look good though)

The biggest bonus of this build:

People can't yell at you for taking aggro and not running away.

Now, to get a competent team of hip young assassins to use this in HA...
