well there is a hammer one but wouldnt a sin/w with axe be alright
since the high crit hit rate you really dont need to worry about the huge gap and you can hold a shield

idk just a thought... i will try to throw something together for you guys tonight and post it up

majikmajikmajik · Feb 29, 2008, 07:12 PM // 19:12

try triple chop, way of the master, crit def. keen chop, a heal ,a res, and another attack or a utlility

Songbringer · Feb 29, 2008, 07:13 PM // 19:13

triple chop? seems like there could be better uses for the elite.

Sunyavadin · Feb 29, 2008, 07:37 PM // 19:37

Yep, one of my Hero sins is an axe Sin and he is absolutely unstoppable. His damage output thanks to the critical chance vastly outstrips a dagger sin. I have the maths somewhere because I spent a week calculating if it would be more or less effective and worked out an average DPS that quite frankly terrified me.

and thats why i said "try". perhaps you could give a few examples of "better" elites?

i have done just about every crit wep build fo sin and i have found that spear, scythe and axe r the most effecive. however it is in your best intrest to stick with an elite such as way of the assassin for peak-dmg and then use cyclone axe instead.

Isaiah Cartwright stated that KEEN CHOP was intended for Sin Axe builds!

This whole goal of this skill was to open up some A/W stuff, it's pretty narrow focus and thus will probably be a while before it's buffed if it does get buffed unblockable is a neat effect for it. Izzy @-'---- 23:23, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

I asked on the discussion page for a viable Axe Sin build... xD...^^
Because some people said, Sins should would rather use a Scythe.

Indeed they will rather use scythe :P
They should make it an A/W skill :P
I.E.
If this skill results in a critical hit, this attack has 5..50% armor penetration and target foe suffers cracked armor for 3..20 seconds.

Maybe I may of made it overpowered..But the definition of keen is:"Having a fine, sharp cutting edge or point."
Makes more sense at least :P

There is no way that an an Assasin with an axe would do more damage than a Moeibus spammer in PvE.

Forgive my Newbyness...how does the rez work in this build. What I mean is...are rezs not just used on allies who die?

Thanks

Nope :P
But Anet should consider specific features to skills to make asassins make use of different weapons.That would make em more popular, as if it weren't for the skills, daggers would be shit.

Well, you res allies with a res so... That's what the res is for in that build.

If I understood your question correctly.

Usurp · Feb 29, 2008, 10:16 PM // 22:16

So...this assumes that you have a dead ally at all times?

It assumes someone is going to die at some point and that more people will die if your monk stops to rez.

Lishy · Mar 01, 2008, 12:00 AM // 00:00

Lol I nearly got survivor on my sin from just normal gameplay.They are not squishy at all.People are just stupid >_>
They have as much armor as a dervish or ranger.

Why do people continuously insist that sins suck?

Usurp · Mar 01, 2008, 12:49 AM // 00:49

Sorry...I was totally zoning on this one. I have been doing so much research on sins that I am focused on skill-chains. So, I was confusing this skill-set with a skill-chain. My bad ya'll.

have you ever played PvE? seriously, triple chop is rediculous.

anyways, this isnt a new idea at all. people have been using crit axe sins since factions came out.

Drakken Breathes Fire · Mar 01, 2008, 04:35 PM // 16:35

And bows, probably swords, hammers, scythes, sins use whatever the hell they want.

Way of the Master, Critical Eye, Crit Defenses, High critical strikes, you have the basis down, now all you have to do is think of skills to compliment. PErsonally I like the idea of Triple Chop, keen chop would be nice too, to make sure you always keep up Crit Defenses. Perhaps Cyclone axe?

Have fun with it man, if it works it works.

blockkiller · Mar 14, 2008, 03:17 PM // 15:17

is it worth it to invest points in tactics to wear a shield as u have less damage then?

ZenRgy · Mar 14, 2008, 03:19 PM // 15:19

Dark Apostasy, Way of the Master, Critical eye, other stuff.

It's nice for ripping enchantments.
