I like Web of Disruption on a sin.

Anyway, I tried this thing out in some AB, and it works pretty well, especially against people who rely on heavy defensive measures. The Expose Defenses "strips" them of that (quoted, because it obviously doesn't do that) and I can put in poison and bleeding and then spam DB a lot.

Eles can be a problem, least the npc ones. They huuurt. But I was able to take down a tank on my own...though I don't know what build they were running, so I can't really say much about it *shruggers* I was having issues with the 8th skill though. I tossed in Critical Eye to help with energy management and had Dash in. But I wind up not using Critical Eye or any other skill that I pop in to replace that spot XD meeerrr.

I've found often enough that where a skill is placed on the skill-bar determines whether I end up using it or not. If preparatory skills are too far apart, I end up forgetting some of them. Most things I tend to need to string off in a row..... though oddly enough, the order of my defensive skills for Illusionary Daggers Plus is all over the place.

See I'm the opposite o.o I put my preps and defense toward the end and all my attacks at the beginning XD;; unless it's directly related to the combo, such as the Expose Defenses.

Then my fingers get used to it and they get screwed over if it changes >-o

I think when I was doing AB, it was more of a situation in which I just didn't need to use more than 7 of those skills o.o maybe if I had Nine Tails or another attack I would have used that in the spam attacks, but meh. I'll have to muddle over it. I tried several different things, but they weren't really that effective.

*still muddling over a name* Exposing Fanged Spider Blossom?

...

*goes to map Elona while thinking about it*

sorry again vesse...but its just too inticing to keep the other discussion going...

@ vesse if your using this build in AB I would reconsider the use of expose defenses..... The good aber will avoid foes with high defenses and continue to capture shrines....

Thread cleaned.
Completely hijacking someone else's thread and causing over 50% of the posts to be heavily off-topic is NOT acceptable. Take it to PM's if you have to say something to someone so desperately that isn't on-topic.

Thanks to the mods who removed those posts...now I can at least see what's going on better in my thread o_o

and clawofcrimson, i usually don't really know if they have put up high defense because i'm usually only focusing on three things: Both HP Bars and the damage I'm taking. When I AB, capping is one of the main things i focus on, so I'm not one of those who sees the giant mob and try to fend them off >_>;;

in fact i call the npc i'm going after too so that i try to focus everyone back on the npcs >_o

however, after the first cap my group usually runs into the first group of the opposite side and there's a bit of a shuffle there, depending on the situation. Usually it's nearer to our shrine and after like a few seconds of just standing there, opposite runs in and npcs help. I put on ED on the other players then, and if I see a tank pounding on my rit...well...>_>...

so yeah, it's still pretty useful. and i also try to take out the casters, and the monks try to use protective spirit to no avail >_> eles try to use wards to no avail <_< it's kinna nice

'ED' will not open up their defenses all that much.. there are plenty of enchant heavy dervs/earth ele that will just sit there and get 0 damage...

plus its a pretty hefty price for a hex... I would rather take [card]parasitic bond[/card] as it is spammable and has healing bonus....

also... if you are terribly concerned about getting your hits in ...[card]EXPUNGE ENCHANTMENTS[/card] + [card]WILD BLOW[/card] has worked wonders for me...

hmm...

i'm still pretty much a rookie when it comes to PvP with my sin (I mainly PvE ^-^;

. Used to just go in with my monk but I got tired of everything targeting me >_>;

I know the build I posted works in PvE very nicely, I'll have to fiddle with others for PvP.

(Though I did think about Parasitic Bond >->)
