Default Flashing Blades

with the update yesterday, flashing blades is now an over-powered skill (not complaining about this). at 15 dagger mastery you can keep it on for a full 30 seconds and have 75% blocking the whole time. assassins now have a great way to survive...even though it is elite, its definatley now worth it to bring..especially pvp.

It's still not worth wasting an elite in PvP. Them being dead> you blocking.

It is worth using, its hard to strip and makes you nearly invulnerable to melee when you are chopping stuff up.

I think the key problem is that its conditional requirement is quite the issue. You can't self heal as you'll get hit so its not very good for tanking (yes sins shouldn't tank but thats not the point.)

Basically I'd still use AOD and the like over it however I'm sure there is a build out there that can take advantage of it.

Maybe a repeating strike build?
